Igor is the administrator of the popular public page "Overheard Deep," with an audience of over 26,000. In August 2024, he was convicted of "distributing extremist materials," and a month later, the Vitebsk Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime and Corruption arrested him and recorded a "repentance video."

In February 2025, Igor was found guilty of "active participation in actions that grossly violate public order" and sentenced to restricted freedom with direction.
