According to the materials of the prosecution, Oleg Krichkovsky, being at his place of residence, on the evening of December 31, 2020, under the image of Alexander Lukashenko in vk.com during the presentation of the highest insignia of the special police unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs — a black beret — he left an offensive comment, which, according to the expert opinion, is a non-normative form of speech expression and carries a negative assessment of Lukashenko.

Krichkovsky refused the services of a lawyer, and explained to the court that on New Year's Eve he drank a glass and under the influence of emotions left an offensive comment, which he later completely forgot. Therefore, I was surprised when in May 2022 he was called to the police department, where he was familiarized with the contents of the message. At the same time, he was detained.

In the summer of 2023, he was released upon expiration of his sentence.

Dmitry lived in Ukraine for a long time, and in 2019 he married a Ukrainian woman there. He did not serve in the Belarusian army, but in Ukraine he joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a supply officer. From March to October 2021, he worked as a guard at a military warehouse in the demarcation zone between the DPR/LPR and the territory controlled by Ukraine.

In the fall of 2021, having lost his Belarusian passport, Dmitry went to the embassy in Kyiv, where he was issued a temporary document and advised to go to Belarus for a new passport. However, immediately after crossing the border, he was detained. For two days in a row, the KGB interrogated him on suspicion of "terrorism" and "weapons transportation."

No facts were found, but Dmitry was transferred from the temporary detention facility to a pretrial detention center and a case of "mercenarism" was opened (Article 133 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus). Later, the article was reclassified, and in March 2022, he was convicted of "participation in military actions on the territory of a foreign state without the authorization of Belarus." During his stay in the pretrial detention center, Dmitry's daughter was born.

According to human rights activists, he was released in the winter of 2024, having fully served his sentence.
