Eduard, a visually impaired nurse, previously competed for the Belarusian Paralympic team. In September 2021, he was found guilty of "insulting a government official" for a comment he left on the social media site Odnoklassniki about traffic police inspector Andrei Bagrayenok. A linguistic expert found the comment humiliating. Eduard was under house arrest until his trial, after which he was sentenced to restricted freedom without being sent to an open facility.
