A former Afghan veteran and a man of principled civic stance, his wife, Oksana Lisitsa, is the director of the Vysochanskaya Basic School and a member of the 28th District Council. Vladimir Lisitsa was born in Ukraine, and his profile picture on Odnoklassniki features a Ukrainian flag.

According to the investigation , Vladimir Lisitsa also made comments addressed to several other well-known individuals in Belarus: "publicly obscene comments were made about the military commissar of the Gomel region, A. V. Krivonosov; deputy of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus, A. S. Gaidukevich; chairman of the Glubokoye district executive committee, A. N. Shubsky; and A. G. Lukashenko." According to the court verdict, Mr. Lisitsa must serve three years in a general-regime penal colony and also pay a fine of 7,400 rubles and compensation for the moral school to two plaintiffs—A. Shved, Prosecutor General of the Republic of Belarus, and I. Medvedsky, deputy of the Novopolotsk city council—3,000 rubles each.
