The situation escalated with repeated interrogations by the FSB, harassment of Maria at school, and accusations against Alexei for neglecting his parental duties.
Their apartment was raided, valuables confiscated, and eventually, both were arrested again.Maria was placed in a minor’s center, and Alexei was sentenced to two years in prison for “discrediting the Russian armed forces,” a charge he denied. He expressed his opposition to the war in Ukraine during his trial.
Alexei attempted to flee to Belarus but was apprehended and imprisoned. He described horrific conditions in prison, including being forced to stand for long periods, rat-infested isolation cells, and forced nudity, amounting to torture. He was released from prison on October 15, 2024.
