Belarusian prisoner not only extracted money from Russia for detention conditions in pre-trial detention, but also secured compensation for the long wait for that money
Dmitry Tretyakov moved between colonies and changed his surname to Lukinsky, which is why he couldn't be found. But that's not his problem.

The Arkhangelsk Regional Court (Russia) on October 6, 2026, awarded Belarusian prisoner Dmitry Lukinsky compensation for the violation of the right to enforcement of a court act within a reasonable timeframe — $180. The money will be recovered from the Russian budget. Lukinsky himself requested $3600.
The story began in Arkhangelsk back in the spring of 2024. Dmitry Tretyakov sued the local pre-trial detention center for inadequate conditions of his detention. He was awarded $32 in compensation.
They tried to transfer the money to Tretyakov in the colony where he was held at the time. But he had been released in the interim, so the payment order was returned unpaid.
Moreover, immediately after his release, he changed his surname to Lukinsky. The Ministry of Finance of Russia wrote to the former prisoner in the autumn of 2024, asking him to provide his bank account details, but received no response.
Meanwhile, Lukinsky ended up in Belarus — and was imprisoned. In March 2025, the Polotsk District Court sentenced him and sent him to serve his sentence in a Mogilev colony.
The colony provided the Russian authorities with its details. But while the Russians were preparing to transfer the money, Lukinsky disappeared again!
It turned out that he had been sent to serve his sentence in the Arkhangelsk region — perhaps he is a Russian citizen (citizenship is not specified in the court decision) who requested to be sent to his homeland.
Only on September 4, 2026, Lukinsky was found in an Arkhangelsk colony — and those initial $32 were credited to his account.
The prisoner decided to correspond with the court again — and requested compensation for the sluggish execution of the decision. The money took 2 years, 3 months, and 20 days to reach him! The court recognized that this was indeed excessive. As a result, Lukinsky will receive an additional $180.
