The resident of Gelendzhik. Opposition blogger, recognised as a "foreign agent" on 20 January 2023. The first report about a possible criminal case for discrediting the Armed Forces against the blogger appeared in the telegram channel "Good Gelendzhik" on 12 February 2023. On 15 February, it was also reported there that he was sent under house arrest, but without specifying the source or evidence of this. On 20 February, the Telegram channel published, presumably, a brief fragment of the ruling on the initiation of criminal proceedings. Acquaintances expressed concern that they had not been able to reach Kharchenko for ten days. In early March, the same Telegram channel published information that Kharchenko had been seen in the city. In January 2024, when the case came to court, it became known that Kharchenko was also charged with articles on insulting the feelings of believers, defamation, coupled with accusations of violation of sexual inviolability, and calls for extremist activity. At the end of July 2024, Kharchenko was sent to a pre-trial detention centre. In August, his lawyer said that the blogger was deliberately created torture conditions: he was kept in solitary confinement in unsanitary conditions, in a damp basement without glazing. Dust and dirt fly into the room through the bars, and in the neighbouring cells there is people screaming and swearing at night. In addition, there is a constant, loud and monotonous voice reading the rules and regulations of SIZO-3. The prisoner has chronic bronchitis and asthma, but he is not given any medical care. On 14 August it became known that Kharchenko was transferred to more favourable conditions. On 5 December 2024, the court replaced the blogger's preventive measure with a ban on certain actions. However, he was not allowed to go free and was detained in a new case - defamation of lawyer Yaroslav Krasnoshchekov, who is a victim in the first case. At the same time, the judge who considered the first case recused herself.
