He is involved in the same case as Genrikh Ageyev and Yuri Vasilevsky .
A former lieutenant colonel at the military academy, he left the service after 2021 and went to work in taxis and logistics companies. He had a long and successful military career. According to Cyberpartisans, he served in the 103rd Separate Guards Airborne Brigade of the Special Operations Forces. After rising to the rank of senior officer, Balashenko transferred to teaching in Minsk. As early as November 2021, he was mentioned in the official report of the Vitebsk Cadet School as an honorary guest—a lieutenant colonel and lecturer in the Military Intelligence Department of the Military Academy. But around the turn of 2021 or 2022, the officer's life took a sharp turn.
He left the Armed Forces and radically changed his career. Starting in December 2021, the former military man settled in Minsk and worked exclusively for private fleets. Over the course of several years, he constantly changed jobs, working in taxi services, service stations, and logistics companies.
