Vadim was first convicted in December 2021 for publicly insulting a prosecutor and sentenced to restricted freedom without referral.
Vadim worked for a long time as a design engineer at Peleng, in the 20th Directorate, in the electronic systems support sector. He and his colleagues developed equipment for the Russian military, including tank sights.
In the summer of 2024, Vadim was arrested following a KGB raid on the company. In 2025, he was convicted of "inciting hatred or discord" and "calls for sanctions and other actions aimed at harming national security" and sentenced to imprisonment. Details of the case are unknown.

Natalia was detained on April 30, 2021, for drawing hearts and the inscription "Long Live Belarus" on the elevator light. She was sentenced to administrative arrest twice in a row - for a total of 22 days. However, after serving her sentence, a criminal case was opened against her under the article "malicious hooliganism" and she was placed under house arrest for three months. During the court debate, the article was reclassified to a more lenient one - "desecration of buildings and damage to property", and in February 2022, Natalia was given a large fine.
