Nikita Voytsekhovskiy, a Belarusian citizen and student at the Moscow University of Finance and Law, was detained on charges of spray-painting graffiti featuring the symbols of the Russian Volunteer Corps and Azov and forwarding photos and videos of them to an "RDK representative." For these actions, the court found him guilty of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization, as well as publicly promoting and justifying terrorism, and sentenced him to 10 years. The sentence was overturned on appeal; it is possible that his prison term was reduced.
