Nikolai, an activist and administrator of the Telegram channel "Lida for Life", was detained in Moscow in March 2021 at the request of the Belarusian prosecutor's office, as he was wanted in a criminal case on "organizing or actively participating in group actions that grossly violate public order." He was taken into custody in a pretrial detention center for a month and a half, after which he was released on bail.
After his release, Nikolai was fined 5,000 Russian rubles for violating immigration regulations, and then left Russia for Poland.
