Vadzim worked as a sound engineer at the Chachersk District House of Culture. According to the prosecution, on June 5–6, 2021, after a party, he and his acquaintances put up stickers around the town, including one reading "Solidarity is our weapon". The stickers on the school grounds were found by the school's headmistress, who called the police. While a "repentance" video was being recorded, Vadzim was threatened with being hit with a stick. On December 28, 2021, Vadzim was detained.
In March 2022, Vadzim was found guilty in a criminal case initiated under the articles "Organisation and preparation of actions grossly violating public order, or active participation in them" and "Desecration of buildings and damage to property" and sentenced to imprisonment in a penal colony.
According to human rights defenders' calculations, he was released in March 2024, after fully serving the sentence imposed by the court.
