Anton Kalakin is known as Anton 69 in the Irkutsk punk community. He works odd jobs: most recently, he worked as a security guard and repaired boats. He participated in solidarity events, attended punk concerts, helped homeless animals, was interested in local history, and ran a public page about the history of Irkutsk. He lived with his mother. In April 2025, security forces raided their apartment in Irkutsk and confiscated Anton's equipment. Soon after, the anti-fascist was charged with two counts of "justifying terrorism" (Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Russian Criminal Code).
