After three years with the Lions, he moved to the Russian top club Medvedi Chekhov in 2010 , with whom he won both the championship and the cup in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

After moving to RK Celje, he was supposed to be naturalized in Slovenia like Siarhei Rutenka, so that he took the two-year international break that was necessary for this. In 2006, he declared that he no longer wanted to run for Belarus and that he was seeking Russian citizenship.
