Egor is the editor-in-chief of the Nasha Niva website (nn.by), and has been working for the publication since 2009. On July 8, 2021, he was detained in connection with a case of "group actions grossly violating public order." He was later charged under the article on "causing property damage without signs of theft" - for paying for utilities at rates for individuals instead of legal entities. The investigation calculated the damage at more than 10 thousand rubles.
In March 2022, Egor was sentenced to imprisonment, despite the fact that the damages were fully compensated.
In August 2023, he was released, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.
