In 2020, Gustyr sentenced Sergei Shabanov to 15 days, whose entire guilt was that on the morning of October 30, near the Minsk Arena, where A. Lukashenko’s motorcade was passing at that time, Sergei showed the “Victory” sign to the cars with his fingers honking in a traffic jam. In August 2020, she awarded 10 days to the “DJ of change” Vladislav Sokolovsky just for the song of Viktor Tsoi, which he and his colleague played at a state event in Kievsky Square in Minsk.

Her work within the judiciary was focused on maintaining the position of the existing government, rather than on upholding the law.
