Alexander was serving a restricted freedom sentence for malicious hooliganism unrelated to politics and left offensive comments on an "extremist" Telegram channel under photographs of a prosecutor and a police officer from Minsk.
In August 2021, he was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months of restricted freedom, to which the remaining term from the previous sentence was added, bringing the total sentence to 2 years and 8 months of "chemistry."
At the end of April 2022, the sentence was changed to imprisonment in a penal colony after four penalties for violating the conditions of detention in a correctional facility.
In April 2023, Alexander was released, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.
