Artist, former head of the creative community "Pogonya". He was detained in August 2022 and sentenced to 15 days of arrest. It later became known that a criminal case was opened against Gennady for participating in protests in 2020.
According to human rights activists , he was released on February 26, 2025.
According to the materials of the prosecution, Oleg Krichkovsky, being at his place of residence, on the evening of December 31, 2020, under the image of Alexander Lukashenko in vk.com during the presentation of the highest insignia of the special police unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs — a black beret — he left an offensive comment, which, according to the expert opinion, is a non-normative form of speech expression and carries a negative assessment of Lukashenko.
Krichkovsky refused the services of a lawyer, and explained to the court that on New Year's Eve he drank a glass and under the influence of emotions left an offensive comment, which he later completely forgot. Therefore, I was surprised when in May 2022 he was called to the police department, where he was familiarized with the contents of the message. At the same time, he was detained.
In the summer of 2023, he was released upon expiration of his sentence.
