He was arrested along with his wife in September 2025.
Dmitry, 56, works in renovations and worked as a laborer at the same kindergarten as his wife. Tatyana worked for many years as a teacher at Kindergarten No. 518 in Minsk's Sokol neighborhood. She also worked with children from an inclusive group, including those with autism.
The Korsakovs' home was raided in the evening and searched. Security forces also called Pelageya, Dmitry and Tatyana's daughter, who now lives in Ukraine, and forced Dmitry Korsakov to tell her that her mother was in the hospital. This later turned out to be untrue. They most likely pressured the young woman to return to Belarus. Until 2020, the Korsakovs' daughter, Pelageya, worked at the same kindergarten #518, participated in protests, and in September 2021, she moved to Ukraine. With the outbreak of full-scale war, she decided not to leave for a safer country but to volunteer. In addition to her main job (SMM and graphic design), Pelageya evacuates civilians and coordinates volunteer work in the event of missile strikes.
Tatyana and Dmitry's daughter believes that "their only 'crime' was that I was in Ukraine, and we kept in touch, calling each other. And my parents were worried about me. It turns out that this is the basis for the services' wild imagination."
While in prison, due to inhumane conditions, Dmitry began to experience serious health problems, even requiring hospitalization.
