According to the volunteers, two police reports were drawn up against him for picketing by placing a slipper of white-red-white colours on a car and a white-red-white flag with the Pahonia emblem on the window.

According to the man, the slipper was originally pink, but as a joke, he decided to draw a white stripe on it. Vyacheslav explained that he had attached the slipper to the car about a year ago, “so as not to hit his leg against the car.” He removed the white-red-white flag from the window long ago and hung.
