Romuald, a private entrepreneur and former owner and editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta, was convicted of posting in comments on VKontakte a photograph with stickers containing the personal data of seven police officers involved in illegal detentions and perjury in court.
He was released in May 2023 under an amnesty. However, both before and after his trial, Romuald was persecuted - he was repeatedly tried under administrative articles such as "organizing and holding unauthorized mass events" and "distributing extremist materials."
