Ruslan Hikmetovich Mashadiev

He was detained in November 2024 in Zhodino.

At the same time, the website of the initiative "Letter. Bel" and its pages on social networks were recognized as "extremist materials." A month later, the KGB recognized the initiative as an "extremist formation ." According to the agency, Aleksandr Mazur , as well as Pavel Korenyukhin and Aleksandr Lykshin, are related to "Letter . Bel." The men are currently in ST -8 , accused under Article 361-1 of the Criminal Code (Creation of an extremist formation or participation in it).

Pavel Vabishchevich and Andrei Zinenko, as stated in the ONT propaganda film, were detained on the night of August 26-27, 2023, on the railway in the Stolbtsy district near the oil depot and the Sinyava stopping point.

A propaganda film in the fall of 2023 claimed that they were detained for attempting to plant an explosive device on a railway in the Stolbtsy district, "which was supposed to go off on command from an SBU supervisor." The propagandists said that Vabishchevich came to the attention of the security forces when an informant reported him to a KGB chatbot, saying that he was photographing railway tracks and trains at the Orsha train station.

He is originally from the city of Slavgorod in the Mogilev region. After school, he served in the army and graduated from vocational school No. 3 with a degree in "Technical support for agricultural production." He worked in construction all his life.

The Mogilev resident faces ten to twenty years in prison. The date of detention and the nature of the charges are unknown.

Evgeniy is a former IT manager from Mogilev. After the 2006 elections and several years of political activism, he was expelled from the history department of Mogilev University. He graduated from the history department in Poznan and worked as a manager at an IT company, supplying dairy products. In 2013, Evgeniy returned to Belarus, immediately got married, and then went to work. While he had previously focused primarily on public and academic activities (in the student ethnographic society and the oral history archive), he has now gone into business.

And since the beginning of 2017, he has taken on a new occupation: at the request of clients, he has recorded interviews with their village grandparents and edited documentaries.

He is accused of aiding extremist activity.

Evgeniya has a wife and two small children waiting for her at home.

On February 15, 2024, a "counter-terrorism operation" was declared in the Lelchitsy district of the Gomel region on the border with Ukraine. Residents were asked to "remain calm and comply with the demands of law enforcement." The KGB claimed to have detained members of a "sabotage and reconnaissance group" that included citizens of Ukraine and Belarus. Among those detained were father and son Sergei and Pavel Kabarchuks, Ukrainian citizens. Sergei Kabarchuks, born in 1963, are from the Kovel district of the Volyn region. The father and son were detained in February 2024 in the Lelchitsy district. "Explosive devices and other weapons of destruction" were found on them. The KGB "determined" that the explosive devices were intended for terrorist attacks in Belarus and Russia, and that the "infiltration of the group" was organized by the Security Service of Ukraine.

Vitaly Vlasyuk, a resident of Brest born in 1970, was also arrested at the same time. He was charged with smuggling (Part 3 of Article 228 of the Criminal Code).

He was tortured in the KGB pretrial detention center. After his arrest, he was held in the KGB pretrial detention center for several days without food.

The Kabarchuks lived in a small village in the Volyn region, where their family was waiting for them. Before his arrest, Pavel worked as a driver, transporting people to work from Ukraine to Poland.

Pavel was sent to Correctional Colony No. 1 to serve his 20-year sentence, but his stay there was short—about two months. Of that time, he spent less than two weeks in the prison unit; the rest of the time was spent in solitary confinement and a punishment cell. Soon after, Pavel's sentence was increased and he was sent to Mogilev Prison No. 4, where he also experienced pressure.

In the summer of 2026, it became known that a new criminal case had been opened against Pavel at Mogilev Prison No. 4 under Article 411 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.

Convicted for participating in a protest from August 10 to 11, 2024 in the city of Bereza.

Maxim graduated from the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics with a degree in network engineering. He began his career at the Minsk Electromechanical Plant, then worked as a programmer at IBA and Netland. In 2022, he took the position of system architect at A1.

He was detained and convicted in August 2024 under the articles “financing extremist activity” and “financing or other material support for war.”

Citizen of Ukraine. From June 8 to June 21, 2023, the case was considered behind closed doors by judge Anatoly Sotnikov.

On August 29, 2023, an appeal hearing was held and the verdict came into force.

He was detained in September 2023, allegedly for chatting with friends. A criminal case was opened.

The expected date of Andrey’s detention is September 20, 2023. On this day, a “repentance” video appeared, where a man says that he allegedly wrote negative comments about Lukashenko, officials, police officers, the Russian military, and also threatened people who support the current government.

44-year-old Andrei Burdenya was detained for comments in telegram chats, of which he left more than three hundred. Andrey studied at school No. 6, and then served in the army. It is known that now he is temporarily not working, but previously he worked for some time in the IT field, and even earlier he was engaged in the production of kitchen furniture and had his own individual entrepreneur

He was detained in February when he returned to Belarus from work. Previously, Alexander worked at a locomotive depot, but after 2020 he was either fired or quit himself - it seems that the dismissal was politically motivated. After that, Kamlenok worked as a truck driver in Western countries. And when he returned home from work, he was detained. He was accused of insulting a government official.

The Verkhnedvinsky District Court recognized Alexander’s page on Odnoklassniki as extremist.

A special forces detachment burst into Alexey’s home, they knocked the man to the floor and one security officer sat with his knees on Samoiluk’s body (with one knee on Samoiluk’s neck).

The pro-government channel claims that Samoiluk “threw stones at the police during the riots.” In that publication on the same channel they also posted photographs: in one picture there are two people in hoods and masks, one holding a Ukrainian flag, the second a sheet of paper with the text “Brest residents with Ukraine.”

Truck driver. The man was initially accused of hooliganism (Part 3 of Article 339 of the Criminal Code) and the creation of an extremist group or participation in it (Part 3 of Article 361-1 of the Criminal Code).

The Minsk City Court completed its consideration of the criminal case on February 29, 2024. Burako was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for a period of five years under Part 3 of Art. 361-1 CC. The hooliganism charge was dropped.

According to the investigation , on the evening of May 11, 2023, on the M-5 Minsk-Gomel highway near the village of Yasen, near Bobruisk, “the driver of a DAF vehicle, driving past a stopped military transport convoy, detonated an unidentified device, independently made from pyrotechnic products, by throwing him towards the military personnel and military equipment and then tried to hide.

However, during the pursuit, his car was blocked by the military, and he himself was detained."

It was established that “extremist” symbols were pasted in the cabin of the car, and several subscriptions to radical channels recognized as extremist, including the “victory” plan, were on the mobile phone.

On April 12, 2024, the appeal was considered and the verdict came into force.
