Stanislav was convicted of "threatening to kill" RT employee Konstantin Pridybaylo and "inciting ethnic hatred and discord" against Russians.

He also made statements on internet portals, including the phrase "a good Muscovite is a dead Muscovite."
During the trial, it was reported that Pridybaylo was temporarily transferred to the Russian embassy in Minsk for safety reasons; he attended the trial only on the day of the closing arguments and filed a civil lawsuit for "moral suffering."
