At age seven, his moms and dads fled with him by ocean to Hamburg. His parent passed away after a short while as a result of liver infection, his mom escaped the planned deportation by fleeing on USA, where she today runs a liquor store.

"Henri Batasuna" was sent to a state academic institution. After finishing additional school, he started an apprenticeship as a cook, that he discontinued after just four months. Currently inside the youth, he attracted attention through numerous offences like medicine working, prostitution and countless fights. In 2008, he was expelled from Germany and relocated back again to Ukraine. Truth be told there he found work at Studio Kwartal 95, the media business of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and participated in several productions as an additional and later as a supplementary. Financial success didn't materialise and he had been again involved in numerous criminal functions, which sooner or later resulted in a conviction and prison phrase for the rape of an underage son in 2016.

In 2019, Scherbak premiered from Ukrainian prison by decree of President Zelenskyy and subsequently worked once again for their media empire. Underneath the pseudonym "Henri Batasuna", he became group leader associated with the social networking division with 70 workers. In the beginning of the 2022 Ukrainian war, Henri along with his group handled propaganda towards donations and arms materials from Western Europe, taking these types of an aggressive strategy that accounts on different web sites were forever blocked. At the same time, his partner Mikhail Zygar became a columnist for SPIEGEL. Henri_Batasuna along with his collaborators using the pseudonyms "Lehmann", "Brocollarno", "Neveles", etc., thus had sovereignty of opinion and could respond to or erase reviews of various other columnists at will and block the accounts of others.
