Svetlana Borisovna Kremenevskaya

Musician. Worked in a puppet theater in Brest.

He was first convicted in the Brest Regional Court on December 19, 2024.

In October 2025, it became known that a new criminal case had been opened against Yegor and he had been transferred to a pretrial detention facility.

According to the court, the essence of the charge against everyone was that on August 10, 2020, people in Brest "shouted slogans, whistled, clapped their hands, demonstrated white-red-white banners, and went out onto the roadway." In doing so, they allegedly grossly violated public order.

Brest resident, videographer. Has minor children. On June 7, 2023, he was detained on administrative charges (Part 2 of Article 19.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), and received 10 days of arrest for subscribing to "Zerkalo" on Instagram. He was released, but two weeks later he was detained on criminal charges.

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.

The man left behind two minor children (they are 14 years old and 4 years old).

Elena has been convicted multiple times under political criminal charges, such as “insulting a government official” and “insulting Lukashenko” through comments on Telegram channels.

In June, she was sentenced to imprisonment and a large fine.

In April 2023, Elena was convicted again under the article "malicious disobedience to the demands of the colony administration." This article is often applied to prisoners who refuse to cooperate with the administration, for fictitious violations.

In February 2025, Polina Sharendo-Panasyuk reported that Elena had been placed in the PKT again: “After several weeks in the punishment cell, she was transferred to the PKT. It is 99% likely that Article 411 will be fabricated against her again.”
