Director of the Technical Support Center "KMA-BelAZ" in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation. Detained for participating in 2020 protests and comments on social networks.

During the arrest, the Gubopik officers tore or cut his shirt - this is clearly seen in the photo from their channel. On the man's arm is a large tattoo with a national ornament.

According to pro-government Telegram channels, Valentin was detained on June 9, 2023, for "eight comments on the topic of Russian aggression with insults to Russian citizens," by which he allegedly "attempted to incite ethnic hatred." It is also reported that insults were left against Lukashenko.

Before his arrest, Valentin Shtermer was the director of Avangardbiznesresurs LLC and was the founder of commercial firms in Russia.
The court found Stormer guilty of joining an extremist group for the purpose of committing an extremist crime.

On 01.12.2023, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.

He came to the colony after a stroke. "Valentin spoke very slowly, and walked with difficulty - when we walked from work, he always lagged behind, because he could not keep up. Plus, in the winter, he slipped and fell. He had either a broken arm or a dislocation," said a political prisoner from his unit.

Valentin died in early 2025.

The exact date of death is unknown. There is also no certainty whether Shtermer died in the colony or was taken to a hospital - a prison or civilian one. In the realities of Lukashenko's dictatorship, all such information is hidden.

Trial outcome 04.10.2023
5 years of imprisonment in colony under general regime conditions.
