Ilya was arrested in May 2021 in connection with the protests in Pinsk on the night of August 9-10, 2020, and convicted of participating in "mass riots." According to the prosecution, he tried to break a tree and threw an aluminum energy drink can toward the police. Ilya himself admitted that the can could have flown, but none of the police officers confirmed this, and the specific victim was not named.
The attempt to damage the tree was recorded on video, but in court, a Zelenstroy employee explained that the tree was not damaged. Nevertheless, the organization filed a lawsuit for 117 rubles.
Ilya was released in April 2024, having fully served his sentence.
