Gallyamov told Telegram channel Mozhem Obyasnit (We Can Explain) that the criminal charges are related to “discrediting” the army. On February 10, Russia’s Justice Ministry declared Gallyamov a “foreign agent.”

In the 2000s, Gallyamov worked in the presidential administration and as a speechwriter for Vladimir Putin. He currently lives outside of Russia.
