Rodion was arrested and convicted of "participation in group actions that grossly violate public order" in a criminal case opened after a protest that took place in Brest on September 13, 2020. During the protest, people sang and danced in circles, and a water cannon was used against them.
In February 2025, as part of the special proceedings in Rodion’s case, a court hearing in absentia was held on “replacing the restriction of freedom without sending him to an open-type correctional facility.”
