Dmitry, the director of an online musical instrument store and a musician with the Khoroshki ensemble, was recently dismissed from the group due to his civic stance. He refused to participate in concerts held by the Ministry of Culture at the Kupala Theater, as well as other official events.
In August 2021, Dmitry was arrested on charges of running an "underground printing house" that produced unregistered newspapers and leaflets. After a search of his apartment, all the money, including the proceeds from the recent sale of his car, disappeared. Since his arrest, he has been repeatedly subjected to administrative charges, receiving administrative arrests and being held in the Okrestina temporary detention center.
