Roizman has been engaged in charity for many years, helping in the treatment of children, supporting sports and cultural projects. He repeatedly criticized the authorities, which led to his persecution: in 2023 he was sentenced to a fine of 260 thousand rubles in the case of “discrediting the army”.
