Arsen Markarian

A blogger known for his misogynistic statements. In January 2025, the Moscow prosecutor's office reported that it had initiated a criminal case against him under the article on calls to terrorism and transferred the materials to the Investigative Committee. "Ostorozhno, Moskva" wrote that the investigation was connected with Markarian's statements in an interview with another blogger Dmitrii Larin. Since then, the Investigative Committee has not reported whether a procedural decision has been taken on these materials.

In August 2025, Markarian travelled to Russia and announced a major event for his followers. A few days later, he was detained in a case of insulting the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland. According to the Telegram channel "VChK-OGPU", the case was initiated because of a video with Markaryan's crude statement about Soviet soldier Alexander Matrosov, who, according to the official version, died in 1943 by covering the embrasure of a German bunker (firing point) with his body. After Markaryan's detention, the Investigative Committee said that the blogger had previously been declared wanted in the case. On 25 August 2025, the blogger was taken into custody.
