Olga, a craftswoman, had her first trial in August 2021. The case stemmed from a comment she made on the Telegram channel "Punisher Belarus" under a post by police captain Ruslan Kutsko: "a familiar face" with three poop emojis. The court sentenced her to restricted freedom and ordered her to pay compensation.
On February 9, 2022, she was found guilty of "insulting a government official" for the comment "shit himself and disgraced himself" under photos of the same captain and was again sentenced to restricted freedom, a large fine, and compensation.
In 2023, two court hearings were held on the issue of replacing the fine with community service; the results of these hearings are unknown.
It is known that political persecution and pressure against Olga continues: from March 2024 to the spring of 2025, at least three court hearings were held under the administrative article for "dissemination of extremist materials."
