Ivan worked as a business analyst. On February 23, 2022, he was detained in a criminal case concerning participation in a Sunday protest held in Minsk in August 2020. The reason for the detention was a photo from that protest. According to the prosecution, the protesters carried a placard and a white-red-white banner and blocked the way for traffic.
In May 2022, Ivan was found guilty in a criminal case initiated under the article "Organisation and preparation of actions grossly violating public order, or active participation in them" and sentenced to restricted freedom without referral to an open-type correctional facility. He was released in the courtroom. In addition, the court ordered those convicted in the case to pay 5,839 rubles to Minsktrans.
