Igor was arrested in March 2021 and convicted of "participation in group actions that grossly violate public order" in a criminal case opened after a protest that took place in Brest on September 13, 2020. During the protest, people sang and danced in circles, and a water cannon was used against them.

Igor was convicted for the second time in August 2021 under the article on “hooliganism” for damaging two Beltelecom cameras and writing “cynical inscriptions”.

He was released in 2024, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
