Vadim Alexandrovich Yakimchik

Victoria was found guilty three times in a criminal case brought under the article "insulting a government official."

She was first convicted in March 2021 for a comment under a post about Vasily Molchan and Igor Kachuk, police officers from the Sovietsky District Administration of Minsk, which the court deemed degrading.

She was later convicted again for a comment on Telegram addressed to Vadim Yakimchik, a senior detective in the criminal investigation department. For both counts, Victoria was given a suspended sentence without being sent to an open correctional facility.

In December 2021, she was convicted again on a third count. The details of the case are unknown. It is only known that the state prosecution had requested a sentence of restricted freedom and placement in an open correctional facility, while at that time, Victoria had approximately six months left to serve her sentence of house arrest.

Left Belarus.

Maria, an English teacher at the Baranovichi Gymnasium, was convicted in September 2021 for her comment under a photo of Interior Ministry officer Vadim Yakimchik on the Telegram channel "Punishermen of Belarus": "...and I used to hang out with this d**k when I was younger..." A linguistic examination determined that the word "d**k" has a derogatory connotation and insults human dignity.

Yakimchik later filed a lawsuit for compensation for "moral damages," and in July 2022, the court upheld the claim.
