Dmitry Grinevich, who was accused of desecration of the state flag (Article 370 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus). The action was initially regarded as nighttime hooliganism in a public place - on the roof of the gymnasium, which led, as the court stated in the decision on an administrative offense, to the disruption of the educational process (an excerpt can be seen in the photo). For this, judge Lyudmila Mikhnevich imposed a fine of 81 rubles on the perpetrator. Therefore, Dmitry Grinevich referred in the criminal trial to the fact that he had already been punished for his act.

On this basis, she does not consider the sentence to be a repeat punishment.
