According to his page on the social network Vkontakte, Zykun graduated from BSMU (Minsk Medical University) in 2016. Lives and works in Brest as a urologist at a regional hospital. In the winter of 2023, he was detained for donations. The “authorities” obliged to pay financial assistance to the orphanage in multiple amounts. After this, the doctor was under the close attention of security forces. The administration put pressure on him in every possible way through the deputy chief physician for ideology.
According to the prosecution , Oleg Zykun deliberately and illegally distributed personal data of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The personal data itself was presumably taken from the Telegram channel “Nexta” (because similar information was posted there). And then he “distributed” them on the local network at work, which was discovered in the summer of 2023. By the summer of 2023, Zykun himself had no idea that in his folder on the local work network there was a file with the names and telephone numbers of Ministry of Internal Affairs employees. But this list was found as part of an administrative case in July 2023 during an inspection of the man’s equipment.
At the trial, Zykun admitted his actions. But he did not admit the intent to disseminate data from employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (which the state prosecution insists on).
Trial outcome 05.01.2024:
1.5 years of restriction of freedom in a colony under general regime conditions.
