Vasily was detained and convicted under the article on "hooliganism" for allegedly using violence against aggressive supporters of Lukashenko and activists of the "Anti-Vandal" movement - Alexander Galakhov and Olga Bondareva, when they painted over the image of the white-red-white flag. Vasily did not admit guilt and refused to give the last word.
In April 2022, the court considered the appeal, as well as the prosecutor's appeal against the verdict in this case.
