Until 2020, Viktar worked at a bank; later he moved to a foreign company, where he worked in financial oversight.

In October 2020, he was detained during a protest and sentenced to administrative arrest. After his time at Akrestsina, Viktar needed the help of a psychologist.

On February 2, 2022, he was detained again, this time in a criminal case. He was first sentenced to administrative arrest, but when it ended he was not released and was transferred to a pre-trial detention center instead.

In September 2022, Viktar was found guilty in a criminal case initiated under the article on insulting Lukashenko, for taking part in burning an effigy depicting Lukashenko. The Minsktrans company filed a claim of 15,000 Belarusian rubles against those convicted in this case, a total amount for all of them.

Released in April 2023, after fully serving the sentence imposed by the court.
