A Russian national, identified as Alexey Mironov, also known as "Lyokha-Lepokha," has been detained in an immigration prison in Phuket, Thailand, for accumulating approximately 300 days of visa overstay. Mironov, who gained notoriety in Russia for his participation in a show where he was presented as a stripper, reportedly came to Thailand for work at a nightclub.
According to reports, the club where Mironov was to work closed shortly after his arrival, leaving him unemployed and without funds. To support himself, he reportedly took on odd jobs, including painting walls. His friends have launched a fundraising campaign to gather 40,000 Thai baht to facilitate his return to Russia.
