Russian press agency RIA Nowosti reported that the origin of the journalist's death is being determined. Swirridow was a correspondent for Russian news agency RIA Nowosti for respective years and then Rossiy Siewodow, in Warsaw. In 2014, the interior safety Agency ordered him to leave Poland. With this order, Swiridowa began to be banned from entering Schengen.
Eventually, the Russian left Poland on 12 December 2015. Before leaving at Swiridow Airport in Warsaw, he said: “I have given this country 18 years of my life in total, and I believe that specified a decision to me is absolutely unfair both from a legal and human point of view. Absolutely unfair and illegal due to the fact that I leave without a decision of the court, which is absolute nonsense in a average democratic state that is simply a associate of the European Union."
The writer in 2021 received a letter from the Office for Foreigners, in which the office extended the ban on the journalist's entry into Poland and the Schengen area until 2025. The letter did not mention the reasons for the prohibition, the author simply stated that ‘entry into or stay in the territory of the Republic of Poland poses a threat to the safety of the State’.
