An individual entrepreneur was detained and convicted under three criminal articles for participating in an event that occurred during the dispersal of people on October 11, 2020, near the Pushkinskaya metro station.

In April 2022, Ivan was convicted again for participating in a protest, but this did not affect his final sentence. However, in November of the same year, he was given another year of imprisonment, convicted of "disobeying the demands of the administration of the correctional facility."

In September 2023, he was sentenced to an additional 3 years in prison for "violence against an official."

In March 2024, he was transferred to prison for 3 years.
