According to the case materials, Vyacheslav Murnov used obscene language to comment on posts featuring Lukashenko on Odnoklassniki in October 2021 and March 2024. This was enough to send the man to prison. In addition, he was also given "compulsory treatment for chronic alcoholism."

On September 3, 2024, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.
