Ruslan Zubkov is 26 years old. According to social networks, he has lived and worked in Poland in recent years.

In December 2023, Zubkov was added to the list of members of the extremist group "Russia is Evil". This is a small Telegram chat with 135 members, where only three people are currently active. In February 2024, Ruslan was put on the wanted list in Belarus and Russia - this means that at that time he was still at large.

It is also unknown when Ruslan was detained. He was first tried in June 2024 for "insulting Lukashenko" in the Kamenets District Court. The verdict is unknown.
