Alexander lived alone in Polesie for a long time, so his detention became known by chance. Concerned people became worried that he had not been in touch for a long time. It turned out that Alexander was placed in Brest pre-trial detention center-7. According to unverified information, he is charged with “assisting extremist activities.”

Alexander is also the father of the guy who “dismantled” the water cannon in Minsk during the 2020 protests.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs , the man made videos with incriminating evidence, showed them to local entrepreneurs and demanded money for “silence.” He also allegedly “promoted the activities of an extremist telegram channel whose administrators are located abroad.”

On May 28, 2024, the appeal was considered and the verdict entered into force.

On August 2, 2023, the case "on transfer to a correctional institution of a different type and changing the conditions of the regime" was considered . The verdict is unknown.

Detained for comments on social networks. Alexander is accused of “extremist calls inciting social hatred” and “insulting government officials.” The pro-government Telegram channel showed screenshots of messages that implicate Polivko. For example: “Collaborators and slaves, it’s disgusting to watch! So that they all get angry and impale this mustachioed fascist.”

Thus, according to the prosecution, on June 14, 2021, under the publication of the telegram channel “Belarus of the Brain,” Alexander wrote a message where he said that he once worked at Lukashenko’s residence, and one of his colleagues talked about his conversation with Lukashenko’s security guard. And according to the guard, Lukashenko personally, due to faults on the part of the guard, could put them in a row and “punch through the plywood” (strike with all his might in the chest or stomach so that the person bends over from such a blow). Apparently, this comment was written under a post with the title “BYPOL: Roman Protasevich was personally beaten by the dictator” (all comments under the post have been deleted at the moment). At the trial, Polivko was asked to name what kind of colleague told such a story - but the man could not remember either his name or other personal details, because. he worked at the residence for a very long time, around 2008-2009. But finding an ex-colleague based on documents would be unrealistic, because... they worked without official employment. He was also convicted for 4 more comments under various articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
