Oleg Gulik worked as an athletics coach at the Moscow City Dynamo Organisation. In 2023, he was listed as the senior coach of the Central District sports team under the National Guard of Russia (Rosgvardiya).
In October 2026, a court sentenced Gulik to 5 years’ imprisonment under the article on publicly disseminating 'fake news' about the Russian army (Paragraph 'd' of Part 2 of Article 207.3 of the Russian Criminal Code).
According to the prosecution, in 2023, using his personal Telegram account, Gulik 'began disseminating knowingly false reports, presented as reliable information, about the Russian army’s involvement in a missile strike on a residential building in Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, during correspondence with several users, motivated by political hatred.'
