Igor worked in Poland as an electrician. He was detained while crossing the Polish-Belarusian border.

In a pro-government video, Sorokin says that he went out onto the roadway and blocked traffic. The video is obviously from the protest action on August 10, 2020, which took place in Brest. Specifically, the moment of the skirmish at the intersection of the boulevards and Masherov Avenue.

According to human rights activists, he was released on May 9, 2025.
