Viktor was arrested in October 2021 as part of a criminal case opened following a protest that took place in Brest on September 13, 2020. During the protest, people were singing and dancing in circles, and a water cannon was used against them.
In December 2022, he was found guilty of "active participation in group actions that grossly violate public order" and sentenced to restricted freedom without being sent to an open correctional facility. He was released from custody in the courtroom after the verdict was announced.
