In August 2020, Andrey Pyzh, a blogger and host of the Urbanturizm YouTube channel, also known as MSH or Andrey Nyashny, was arrested under par. "d" Part 2 Art. 283.1 (illegal obtaining of information constituting a state secret).
Videos about extreme travels were published on his channel, including those related to penetrations into various abandoned and operating objects— metro, mines, factories, power plants. Nevertheless, his lawyer assured that the charge against the blogger was not related to the videos on his YouTube channel.
The prosecutor's office noted that in the period from 2018 to August 2020, Pyzh illegally obtained information constituting a state secret, regarding the design features and technical systems of some secure facilities located in the Moscow region.
Later, the court found that Pyzh was a member of the so-called digger community and did not have access to state secrets and information constituting state secret.
In October 2021, the Moscow City Court sentenced Pyzh to five years in prison for illegally collecting information constituting a state secret.
