Asking any questions to the young soldier is prohibited, and asking for money is even more so.
Reports from official sources indicate that everything is fine. The press service of the National Guard of Russia announced that the artist will be engaged in ensuring the safety of Russians and maintaining public order in the Moscow region while serving in the Felix Dzerzhinsky Division. In the near future, Kosolapov will undergo basic training. The training includes intensive physical, firearms, and special preparation. A similar path was once taken by German Gref and the governor of the Moscow region, Andrey Vorobyov, in the law enforcement troops.
Interestingly, the troops that Macan has joined are not ordinary. The separate operational designation division named after Dzerzhinsky is a tactical unit of the National Guard of Russia. There were also rumors about his deployment to "Vityaz" - the special forces of the National Guard, which respond to particularly dangerous situations, including terrorism and hostage-taking.
Andrey is sweeping the parade ground along with other recruits and does not shy away from his duties, reports the TG channel "112". The message emphasizes that Macan does not receive any star privileges: elite troops imply strict discipline, not luxury and comfort. Fellow soldiers, accustomed to equality, tease the tough rapper: footage has already leaked showing him sadly chewing alone in the cafeteria. They did not shave the artist's head, but he had a short haircut even "in civilian life".
How Macan is protected from bullying
The most interesting information came from unofficial sources. The TG channel "DvaCh" featured voice recordings allegedly from one of Macan's fellow soldiers. The soldier shares instructions on how to protect the "star spirit" from bullying: "Don't look at Macan, he doesn't like it. Keep your eyes down, look away." Asking any questions to the rapper is prohibited, and asking for money is even more so.
The soldier called the information obtained during the unofficial briefing "clowning" and admitted that the patrons are literally worried about Macan. For example, during his leaves, he must be accompanied by a "ded" (senior soldier) for protection, and a specific veteran has even been assigned to him.

These orders came shortly after interesting footage was leaked online, posted in the same TG channel. A sergeant recorded a video of how he makes the entire company chant at night: "Macan - h****.
Interestingly, the concern for Macan is quite justified - the artist brought significant money to the label. From 2022 to 2025, he was named "Artist of the Year" by VK Music four times in a row, accumulating over 800 million streams in 2025. The fee for a 25-minute corporate event recently rose to 15 million rubles. The label will lose half a billion rubles due to the pause in tours while Macan is serving.
The scandalous draft of Macan
The artist's draft into the army occurred on November 28, 2025, after six ignored summons, which nearly led to a criminal case. The uproar over the summons arose while the artist was on tour. As a result, he personally appeared at the military enlistment office and received a fitness category of "A" during the medical examination.
Before the draft, Macan attempted to sell his beloved BMW M5 Competition for 10.5 million rubles. The rather high price was justified by a bonus of a personal meeting and a photo with the rapper for the buyer, but the car is still sitting in the showroom.
