Viktor was arrested in August 2020 as part of a criminal case opened after a protest held on August 10, 2020 in Novopolotsk against the falsification of the presidential elections. He was later released on bail.
In January 2021, Viktor was convicted of "participation in group actions that grossly violate public order" and sentenced to restriction of freedom. However, in June, he was released from the correctional facility pending appeal, as the prosecutor filed a protest. At the end of June, his sentence was changed to imprisonment.
In December 2022, Viktor's sentence was changed to prison.
According to human rights activists, he was released in December 2023, having fully served the sentence imposed by the court.
