Oleg was found guilty of "insulting a government official" for comments he left on the social network VKontakte. Nine government officials were recognized as victims in his criminal case.

In November 2021, a court hearing was held to consider toughening the sentence, following which Oleg was transferred from an open-type correctional facility to a penal colony.

He was released in October 2022, having fully served his sentence.
