Rostislav, a former Gorodeya football player, was detained three times — from August 2020 to spring 2021 — and sent to serve administrative arrests. The last time, on May 17, 2021, he was sentenced to 15 days for disobeying the police. However, after serving the sentence, he was not released and was transferred to a pre-trial detention center on charges of "active participation in group actions that grossly violate public order." A criminal case was opened against Rostislav after a march in Kurapaty, which took place on November 1, 2020. In September 2021, he was sentenced to restriction of freedom without direction and released from custody in the courtroom.
