The man worked as an ambulance doctor in Baranovichi and was remanded in custody pending trial. He was initially accused of "rehabilitating Nazism" for a repost that compared leaflets from Nazi Germany and leaflets from modern Russia. But in the middle of the trial, the charge was changed to "inciting hatred" towards Russians and Russians.

On September 22, 2023, the appeal was heard. The verdict came into force.

He was scheduled to be released on July 11, 2025.
