Alexander ended up in court after participating in a chat roulette. He and a friend became interlocutors of the provocateur "Conversations with Palych" and during the conversation, being drunk, they spoke about the events in "Crocus City Hall", expressed support for Ukraine and allowed themselves to give a Nazi salute.

During the arrest, security forces severely beat Alexander. The man was convicted under administrative articles 5 times in a row and probably served at least 75 days of arrest. At the same time, he was given some days simply for having a Ukrainian pennant on the table and shouting "Glory to Ukraine" during a broadcast on chat roulette.

But after 24 hours he was not released. A criminal case was opened against him.
