He was detained and convicted for resisting a soldier during the "March of Heroes" held in Minsk on September 13, 2020.
In his final statement, Artem asked not to deprive him of his freedom, but to allow him to do what he loves – architecture. He participated in international competitions and has a certificate from the Minister of Information for his design of the Belteleradiocompany building. The injured soldier from military unit 3214, Maxim Chernyakov, also asked the court not to send the architect to the colony.
He was released in January 2024, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
