Victor is an entrepreneur involved in website development.

After the protests began and the first deaths occurred in 2020, he tried to make it difficult for special equipment to disperse the demonstrators by scattering screws several times at the exit from the building where the special border unit was stationed.

For this, Viktor was convicted under the article “hooliganism” and sentenced to restriction of freedom with referral to an open-type correctional facility.

In April 2022, the punishment was toughened: restriction of freedom was replaced by imprisonment. His mother, Galina Sergeevna Parkhimchik, who was subsequently also subjected to repression, acted as his defense attorney.

During his imprisonment, Viktor was held in a number of institutions: the temporary detention facility on Okrestina, Pre-trial Detention Center No. 8, Pre-trial Detention Center No. 5, Pre-trial Detention Center No. 1, Pre-trial Detention Center No. 7, the temporary detention facility in the city of Kamenets, Correctional Institution No. 45, and IK-17.

On September 14, 2022, he was released, having fully served his sentence imposed by the court.

Today, Victor continues to work in the field of web development and is open to professional cooperation.
