Pavel Belikov is the director of a large advertising studio, Legalitbay.
He was detained along with his wife. In a security forces video, Pavel claims to have printed protest leaflets at a printing house owned by Legalitbay. He also claims to have written to "protest" Telegram channels, including the "Black Book of Belarus." He allegedly passed on information about police officers and the prosecutor to the latter. His wife works for an IT company. She was detained for having a protest sticker on her car. In the video, she claims to have "participated in the protests," but no confirmation is provided. Pavel was likely released or tried on administrative charges.
In July 2026, Pavel appeared on the Ministry of Internal Affairs' website list of extremists. He was convicted of a criminal offense, most likely for sending photos of military equipment to the Telegram channel "Belarusian Gayun."
