One of the oldest active editors of the Belarusian Wikipedia section and the most experienced administrator. He focused mainly on the ancient history of Belarus, but spent most of his time maintaining order in the section and moderating disputes.
The detention of Maxim Lepushenko is not the first case of recent repressions directed against authors and editors of the Belarusian Wikipedia. The detentions of several Belarusian Wikipedia administrators over several months appear to be part of a coordinated campaign, as indicated by the unfounded attacks from propagandists: - In April, administrator Olga Sitnik (Khomelka) disappeared; she was detained twice. - In December 2024, the editor of Stary Jolup was detained. - In March 2025, Kazimier LachnoviΔ (real name unknown) disappeared - one of the four administrators of the section on Tarashkevitsa. A week after the disappearance of the administrator Kazimier LachnoviΔ, propaganda material by Lyudmila Gladkaya was released, in which it was said that Wikipedia is a weapon of mass destruction against the countries of the post-Soviet space, and the Belarusian section is edited from Poland.
