At the beginning of January 2023, in one of the pro-government telegram channels, a video appeared with the detention of Sergei by GUBOP and AMON officers, who allegedly administered courtyard chats, including “Grodno Center 97%”; participated in protest rallies and called on others to participate in them, as well as to use violence against police officers, literally, “burn paddy wagons.”
