Andrei was convicted under the articles “Hooliganism” and “Desecration of historical and cultural values.”
On August 14, 2020, he drew a circle with a horizontal line on the statue of a woman in the Minsk Hero City obelisk complex, thereby, according to investigators, desecrating cultural values and the memory of those killed in the Great Patriotic War.
He was released in September 2022, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
