For a year and a half, he was transferred from the pre-trial detention center to house arrest, from there to a psychiatric hospital and back to the pre-trial detention center. In July 2022, he was sentenced to compulsory treatment. The mother and son fled the Russian Federation after the verdict of the appellate instance.
