Dmitry was found guilty in a criminal case brought under the article "Desecration of state symbols" for, according to the charges, removing the state flag hanging on the roof of Gymnasium No. 4 in Smorgon one night in the fall of 2020, carefully folding it, putting it in his pocket, and replacing it with a "white-red-white flag."
It's worth noting that the "desecration" of the national flag, according to investigators, consisted of a small tear in the fabric, approximately one and a half centimeters in size.
