Several dozen people in Russia have accused blogger Dima Yermuzevich, who originates from Belarus and started his career there, of fraud. This was reported by the Russian Telegram channel "Ostorozhno, novosti" (Caution, news).

According to the victims, the blogger sold a photography course, presenting it as an online university without an official license. One Russian woman said that she studied from October to December 2025 and paid about 85,000 Russian rubles. In total, there were approximately 60 students on the course.
During a promotional broadcast, Yermuzevich, as students claim, stated that the project had a license and official status as an online university. According to him, graduates were supposed to receive certificates and effectively be given a profession, and the program allegedly passed verification.
Later, this broadcast was deleted. Instead of the promised documents, students were sent images of certificates created in a graphic editor. These, as the victims note, had no stamp, no signature, and no license number.
In response to the claims, the course curator stated that the program did not have state accreditation, and state-issued documents were allegedly not promised. A pre-trial claim was sent to Yermuzevich, but in response, it was stated that the services were informational and consulting in nature, so no license was required. The organizers refused to return the money.
About 20 people have already filed a complaint with Rospotrebnadzor (Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing) and plan to go to court with a collective lawsuit, as well as to the prosecutor's office.
Dima Yermuzevich was born in Gomel in 1998, where he graduated from music school. He began his blogging career on YouTube in 2011, after which he moved to Minsk and studied to be a director. He is now known as a photographer, author of shows, and musical projects.
