Here is the archived content from Ilya’s activism. Unfortunately, during the searches, the FSB officers confiscated all of Ilya’s devices, and terabytes of photos and videos were lost. However, we will continue to publish everything that is available to us.
The song "Paper Kingdom" from one of Ilya's musical projects when he was about 16 years old. Below is the translated text in English
Scandal video
In anti-fascist movement, Ilya became known around 2013 after a controversial video in which he and his girlfriend were surrounded by about twenty neo-Nazis attempting to provoke him with questions like:
– “What do you have against nationalism?”
In response, Ilya said,
– “Fascists suck, any questions?”
Later, this phrase appeared on anti-fascist merchandise created by his Moscow friends, and Ilya himself became known as a person ready to defend his convictions in any situation.
In the video, he was approximately 16 years old.
