It is known that before his arrest, Dmitry lived in Minsk and worked as a programmer. He also periodically taught programming at the Belarusian State University in the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. Before his arrest, Dmitry did not work anywhere, since he became "unreliable" for the university, and many IT companies left Belarus, so there was no work for him with his high qualifications. He did not want to leave, because at that time he was caring for his elderly mother. During the investigation of Dmitry, she died.
