Biography
Rubanov was born on September 1, 1980 in Vladivostok. He graduated from the economics department of Far Eastern Federal University in 2002.[2]
From 2002 to 2012, he worked as auditor at several Russian companies, including BDO Russia. In January-July 2013 Rubanov headed the Fraud Investigation and Prevention Service as Fraud Case Officer at a consulting company.[2]
In January 2013, Rubanov organized the registration of Moscow political activists as members of precinct election commissions with the right to a decisive vote. In February-March of the same year, he acted as coordinator of territorial election commissions in the Moscow mayoral elections, representing the League of Voters.[3] In June, Alexey Navalny appointed Rubanov head of the staff of his electoral campaign to pass the municipal filter in the elections. Rubanov was Deputy Head of Navalny's campaign until September 2013.[4]
In February 2015, he joined the Party of Progress. In early 2016, he was among the candidates for the Barvikha Rural Settlement Council.[5]
In June 2017, Rubanov was arrested for 10 days for disobeying a police officer at the June 12 protest, opposing Navalny's exclusion from the presidential election.[6] On October of the same year, he was detained and forcibly taken to the Moscow office of the Federal Bailiff Service.[7] The court charged him for failure to comply with a court order to remove the film "He Is Not Dimon to You" from Alexei Navalny's YouTube channel.[8]
On February 20, 2018, he was arrested at Sheremetyevo airport for organizing protests to support Alexei Navalny's candidature in the presidential campaign.[9] Later the same year, he was forced to resign from the post of the FBK’s head and leave Russia.[10][11] A year later, it became known that the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs had put Rubanov on the wanted list because of a criminal investigation related to the film "He Is Not Dimon to You".[12]
