Police lieutenant colonel, former deputy head of the department of the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, who served for a long time as the head of the criminal police of the Zhodino City Department of Internal Affairs. In 2012, he resigned, and in 2014, he became an entrepreneur.

Igor says that they served for the idea of protecting people and fighting crime. He is outraged that security forces beat people, noting that "there are a small number of provocateurs, but you can isolate them with your own forces, and not act as punishers and oppose yourselves to our calm, hard-working people." He calls on the security forces to remember that they swore an oath to the people. "We hope for your understanding and your officer's honor," the man concludes.

In 2020, he and four other former employees of the Zhodino City Department of Internal Affairs recorded an appeal to colleagues who worked in the Zhodino police during the protests and to all law enforcement officers in Belarus.

According to media reports , all five were detained in early February 2024.
