Rodion lived abroad for some time in several countries, and then decided to return to Belarus.

He was soon detained by the GUBOPiK. The comments that the GUBOPiK accuses him of are dated 2020.

It is possible that the guy was identified long ago and a case was opened against him, but they waited until he returned to Belarus to detain him. The security forces claim that "he faces 5 to 12 years in prison" - probably referring to a criminal case for "inciting hatred and enmity."

According to human rights activists , he will be released in March 2025.
