Alexey Kiselyov was detained from Verkhnedvinsk in the criminal case of the “Personnel Reserve for New Belarus”. His “repentance” video was published on the morning of March 13 by a propaganda telegram channel. Alexey is an employee of the Verkhnedvinsk regional executive committee.
On February 14, the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against representatives and participants of the “Personnel Reserve for New Belarus” initiative announced by the Joint Transitional Cabinet. The ONT TV channel later showed 14 people detained in this case. Propagandist Igor Tur said that together with the security forces, he listened to lectures for participants in the initiative for a year.

The “Personnel Reserve for a New Belarus” program was launched by the Joint Transitional Cabinet in November 2022. The goal of the project was to train professionals who would be able to work in government positions and carry out reforms.
