Arshak Makichyan
Arshak Makichyan is a Russian climate youth activist, originally from Armenia. As of December 2019 he has staged a solo school strike for the climate every Friday in Pushkin Square, Moscow, for more than 40 weeks. In Russia, individual protests are lawful but anything larger requires police permission. Makichyan has applied to hold a bigger demonstration unsuccessfully more than 10 times.

He has inspired others across Russia to take part in school strike for the climate, including other single person pickets in Moscow. In December 2019 he was jailed for six days, hours after returning from Madrid, Spain, where he spoke at the 2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 25).

Makichyan is a violin student.
