Comment: Internet searches do not turn up reputable sources that attest to sustained coverage of draft subject. Searches in Russian found no secondary and tertiary sources. However, a number of articles were found about another Nikita Andreev from Yakutsk. That person, however, was born in 1979 and is the head of the Gorny District. In addition to more citations, the draft's tone also needs to be modified per WP:NOTPROMO, WP:TONE, and MOS:PEACOCK. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 23:30, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Biography
[edit]Nikita Andreev was born in 1989 in Yakutsk, Sakha Republic.
He has resided in the United States since 2011.
On February 27, 2022, three days after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Andreev attended an anti-war demonstration in the United States (Honolulu) and there burned his Russian passport. It was a brave thing to do: he has a work permit, but he is not a US citizen. That moment made an unforgettable impression on Andreev and marked the beginning of his work as an activist.[5][6]
Together with other indigenous representatives of Russia, Andreev issued a statement on Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine and expressed support for the Ukrainian people in their struggle against Russian aggression.[7][8]
Andreev co-founded the Free Yakutia Foundation, which opposes the war and helps potential conscripts avoid mobilization.[9]
The Free Yakutia Foundation helped coordinate a women's demonstration in Yakutsk's central square in September 2022 to protest the first wave of mobilization of Yakut men.[10][11][12]
In June 2023, the Russian Ministry of Justice included the Free Yakutia Foundation in the unified register of "foreign agents".[13]
Andreyev is a member of the Free Nations of Post-Russia Forum (an organization advocating decolonization, deoccupation, deputinization, decentralization, demilitarization and denazification of Russia's regions and the creation of free states based on former colonies under Moscow's control). Repeatedly spoke at the Free Nations of Post-Russia Forum.[14]
In 2023, as a member of the national liberation movement of Sakha-Yakutia, he took part in an extended meeting of the Government of Independent Tatarstan in exile.[15]
In October 2023, as a speaker of the Sakha Republic Independence Committee, he spoke at the 8th Free Nations of Post-Russia Forum.[16]
