The comedian was given 13 days of administrative arrest.

After the arrest, Gavrilov recorded a video in which he admits his mistakes.

"In my stand-up video, I allowed myself offensive statements aimed at Russian citizens or discrediting RF Armed Forces. I fully admit my mistake, I repent of the words I said, I changed my position. I hope I didn't hurt anyone," he says.

The comedian's Russian tour started quite recently, he managed to perform in Izhevsk and Kazan.
