He has lived in Nizhny Novgorod at least since 2018, when he was fined for traffic violations. In 2019, he received a Russian passport.

On May 6, Russian media and local authorities reported that a car belonging to Prilepin had exploded in a likely car bombing. While Prilepin’s press service claimed that the propagandist was “okay,” the media reported that he was heavily injured and taken to hospital in critical condition. Allegedly, Russian partisan movement Atesh claimed responsibility for the attempt.

Prilepin has held a number of positions in the Donbas occupation authorities, including as an “adviser” to the now-killed leader of the Donetsk puppet authorities, Alexander Zakharchenko, in 2015 and as a “deputy commander of a special forces battalion for personnel management” in occupied Donetsk from 2016-2018.

In January 2023, Prilepin signed a contract with the Russian National Guard and went to fight against Ukraine.

He is on the list of people who pose a threat to the national security of Ukraine.
