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.
