Nikolai, an activist and administrator of the Telegram channel "Lida for Life", was detained in Moscow in March 2021 at the request of the Belarusian prosecutor's office, as he was wanted in a criminal case on "organizing or actively participating in group actions that grossly violate public order." He was taken into custody in a pretrial detention center for a month and a half, after which he was released on bail.
After his release, Nikolai was fined 5,000 Russian rubles for violating immigration regulations, and then left Russia for Poland.
Oleg, a former ambulance paramedic and salesman at the 5th Element, was arrested on November 4, 2020 and convicted of “gross violation of public order” and “deliberate damage to the railway.” However, the real reason for his conviction was his participation in a meeting with Sergei Tikhanovsky in the spring of 2020.
On June 3, 2023, he was released after serving the full sentence imposed by the court.
