Mikhail was a defendant in the so-called "round dance" case: he was accused of taking part in a protest on 13 September 2020 in Brest, during which people danced in a circle at an intersection until they were dispersed with a water cannon.
The trial of him and eleven other defendants began on 1 December 2021, but Mikhail did not appear at the hearing, and the judge put him on the wanted list.
The verdict in his case is unknown. Most likely, Mikhail was sentenced to restricted freedom without referral to an open-type facility ("home chemistry").
In March 2024, a hearing in absentia was held under special proceedings on toughening the type of punishment. The outcome of the hearing is unknown.
