In the 2000s, he had a business in Russia and was listed as the founder of the Moscow construction company Stroysiti.
Outside of work, Eduard is interested in fishing, cars and music.
After the events of 2020 and the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he remained in Belarus as a matter of principle. "I'm in Belarus! And I know that sooner or later they might come for me too," Kurlyandchik responded in a discussion in the summer of 2023.
Eduard was arrested on August 8, 2025, apparently for comments posted from an unprotected Telegram account.
