The man is 50 years old. He was the founder or director of several companies involved in the import of computers and computer components. Most recently, he was deputy director of commercial affairs at Avard Service and director of SanRan.

It's unclear exactly when he was detained , but it was more than six months ago. The KGB included Rushkevich among the members of the "extremist group Trielit," along with businessman Vladimir Balabanovich, who is on trial for calling for sanctions.
