Who was Misha Mavashi
Mikhail Nits became known in the early 2010s as a rapper with right-wing views. He promoted a healthy lifestyle, sports, and patriotism. His preachy style became a subject of mockery in online communities.
According to him, in 2016, depression and online mockery led him to develop a dependence on sedative drugs, which he bought at pharmacies. After that, the rapper was sent to a rehabilitation center for treatment.
In 2022, Mavashi supported Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and founded the far-right movement "Northern Man," whose stated goal was the "preservation and popularization of the culture of Russians and other Slavic peoples."
