Uladzislau was a first-year student at Belarusian State University and ran the YouTube blog Nick&Bon with his friends. On 19 January 2022, he was detained on Niamiha while they were filming a drone review: riot police checked their phones and found photos and videos from the March of 16 August 2020 in Minsk. The detainees were beaten at the Akrestsina temporary detention facility.
A few days later, Uladzislau was sentenced to 15 days of administrative arrest for allegedly disobeying the police during the detention, and on the last day of the arrest he was declared a suspect in a criminal case. After a week in a punishment cell at Akrestsina, he was transferred to pre-trial detention center No. 1, where he spent about two months. A month after the detention, he was expelled from the university.
In April 2022, Uladzislau and his friend Dzmitry Taratynau were found guilty in a criminal case opened under the article "Organisation and preparation of actions that grossly violate public order, or active participation in them" for taking part in that march, and were sentenced to restricted freedom with referral to an open-type correctional facility.
Uladzislau later left Belarus.
In December 2024, an in absentia court hearing was held under special proceedings to consider a harsher type of punishment. The outcome of the hearing is unknown.
