Maxim, a set designer working with the Korpus cultural center, was arrested on September 2, 2021, following a search of the Korpus building. After serving 10 days of administrative arrest, he was not released but instead was detained on criminal charges of group actions grossly violating public order.
In December 2021, he was convicted of participating in the August 2020 protests and sentenced to restricted freedom in an open facility.
Maxim left Belarus before he began serving his sentence.
In November 2024, a court hearing in absentia was held as part of a special proceeding on the issue of replacing the restriction of freedom with imprisonment in a penal colony.
