Ivan was sentenced in 2025 to a restricted sentence in an open correctional facility for "assisting extremist activity." He was likely convicted in connection with the criminal case against the Belarusian Gayun monitoring channel.
A citizen of the Russian Federation, he has lived in Belarus since 2019. He worked as a driver for Alivaria. He was arrested in May 2025 in connection with the Gayun case.
He has dedicated his entire adult life to sports and military service. As recently as 2015, Maxim was running marathons and half-marathons as part of the Victoria Club.
He later served in the 38th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade in Brest. In February 2020, state media described him as an exemplary officer: "Guards Senior Lieutenant Dudorga became the best commander of an airborne platoon of special operations forces following a field training competition." It appears he rose to the rank of captain—at least that's how he was later signed in his notebooks: "Captain Dudorga." Maxim was an avid cyclist, participated in bike rides with the VeloBrest club, and even worked as a driver, driving passengers along the Minsk-Brest-Luninets route.
It is unclear whether Dudorga was still working in the special forces or had already quit.
