Igor is a physical education teacher at Baranovichi Secondary School No. 1. He was detained in the first half of 2024. In a "confession video" published on a pro-government channel, he "admits" to making offensive comments about police officers and Lukashenko.
In November of that year, he was convicted on four criminal charges: "insulting Lukashenko," "insulting a government official," "calling for sanctions," and "inciting hatred." The case was heard behind closed doors.
On December 13, 2025, he was released following a visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Ukraine.
