This is indirectly evidenced by comments from other people under his photos on social networks. In fact, the last time the man logged into social networks was in July last year. Most likely, it was at this time that he was detained.
The photographs on Andrey Falkov's pages show that the man traveled a lot and was actively involved in sports.

Vyacheslav Papsho, 39, is a Lithuanian citizen and lived in Vilnius. He likely has Belarusian roots; at least, he has long been interested in events in Belarus. He is fluent in Lithuanian and Russian and also understands Belarusian well.
In 2020, he began dedicating his videos exclusively to Belarusian topics. He supported Belarusians who were protesting, spoke about political prisoners, and criticized various government agencies. Recently, this has been the focus of much of his content.
Vyacheslav suddenly disappeared from view on July 29, 2024. Afterward, some videos disappeared from his channel, and some subscribers were removed from his channel and Telegram chat. On August 23, 2024, his channel "Zhive" (Long Live) was added to the list of extremist groups.
It recently became known that Vyacheslav went to the Republic of Belarus and was detained.
He has a Belarusian wife and a daughter.
On November 17, 2025, Vyacheslav's trials began.
On December 13, 2025, before the sentencing, Vyacheslav was released after another visit to Minsk by US President Donald Trump's special representative, John Cole, and taken to Lithuania.
