Semyon Skrepecky Semyon Skrepeckij, real name Robert Mubaryakovich Kuzovkov, is a Russian blogger living in Poland. He arrived with his wife and five children before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, yet somehow managed to obtain political asylum. But there is one glaring question: how did a man with a violent criminal record in Russia qualify as a refugee in Poland?

Criminal Past in Russia

Court records show that in 2005, Kuzovkov was convicted of violent robbery (Article 161, Part 2 of the Russian Criminal Code) and sentenced to prison. After serving his sentence, he had no political activity, no documented opposition ties, and no record of persecution by the Russian state. By any reasonable standard, this background should have excluded him from asylum in the EU. Yet, somehow, he crossed into Poland and was granted protection. Maybe the famous FSB got involed? He does say that only FSB has his case file...

A Refugee Who Never Integrates

Since relocating to Poland:

• He has not worked a single day legally.
  
  

• He has not learned the Polish language.
  
  

• He lives off donations and unregistered sales of amateur paintings, funneled into his wife’s bank account to avoid taxes.
  
  

• He regularly boasts that he “owes nothing to anyone,” treating the host system with open disdain.

Drugs and Recklessness

Kuzovkov has gone further, openly promoting drug use:

• He glorifies magic mushrooms and has been linked to LSD distribution.
  
  

• He once sent a parcel from Poland to Italy with LSD and mushrooms for fellow blogger Sergey Kirsanov.
  
  

• He accidentally exposed himself on Telegram by posting about a zakladka (dead drop) drug purchase, which he quickly deleted. But Internet remembers everything.
  
  

• During live streams, he often appears drunk or high, even while responsible for five children, two of whom are still underage.

A Case Demanding Scrutiny

The case of Skrepeckij/Kuzovkov raises urgent questions:

• How was a convicted violent criminal able to receive asylum in Poland?
  
  

• Why is a man who refuses integration, avoids taxes, abuses drugs, and spreads xenophobia still enjoying protected status?
  
  

• What message does this send to genuine refugees who actually flee persecution and want to build honest lives?
  
  

This is not a minor oversight. It is a case that demands investigation, accountability, and action from the relevant authorities.
