This year, in April, a Russian man, whose name has not been disclosed, while in Minsk, asked his friend to photograph him against the background of the memorial on Victory Square, including jumping over the Eternal Flame.

According to the investigation, the Russian did it "out of low aspirations, which were manifested in a gross violation of generally accepted moral norms and rules of behavior" and "openly and offensively mocked the customs and traditions of society."

The press service of the court stated that the defendant "admitted his guilt in full and repented of what he had done."

It is also reported that the citizen of the Russian Federation sent to the colony is a graduate of a military university, works as a manager in a private Russian company and has two minor children to support.
