Vadim was found guilty in November of "insulting a government official" and "organizing and preparing actions that grossly violate public order, or actively participating in them" for inflammatory messages posted on the Telegram channels "Nikolai Maslovsky," "Army with the People," "Real Belarus," "Khabarovsk. For Furgal," and others. These messages included: "Block the streets...," "Block the roads with cars and our bodies...," "They should get the full punishment this evening," as well as for posts about workers' strikes.
In February 2024, Vadim was convicted again under the article “malicious disobedience to the demands of the colony administration.”
He was released in January 2025, having fully served his sentence.
