Resident of Yekaterinburg. He is believed to be the organiser of a BDSM party that took place in November 2023 in the House of Officers in Yekaterinburg. After pro-government blogger Ekaterina Ipatova wrote about the party, the head and his deputy were fired from the House of Officers. Slowikowski held other themed parties in the city. On the night of 4 February 2024, the Fabrika club was raided in connection with this. On the night of 25 May 2024, law enforcers came to a closed party at the recreation centre "Volna". One of the participants of the event told journalists that masked law enforcers put people on the floor and wrote down the data of the participants, while the organisers were separately questioned. Later, pro-government publications and Telegram channels reported on Slovikovsky's detention. Telegram channel Ural Mash wrote that they found "pills and powders" in his possession.
Later Slovikovsky told E1.ru that a case of insulting the feelings of believers had been opened against him because of the photos in his Telegram channel.
In July 2025 the case went to court. On 18 August Slovikovsky was sentenced to 200 hours of compulsory labour.
