Rodion, a student at the Brest State Professional Lyceum of Builders, was convicted of "participation in group actions that grossly violate public order" in a criminal case opened after a protest that took place in Brest on September 13, 2020. At that time, the participants sang and danced in circles, and a water cannon was used against them. According to the prosecution, the action disrupted the operation of public transport.
He was released in the summer of 2023, having fully served his sentence as determined by the court.
