In 2022, Elena Sharafanovich, who was the director of the private "A1 Clinic", found herself at the center of a scandal. One of the co-founders of the medical center wrote complaints about his own clinic because he " fought" with another co-founder, Ruslan Sharafanovich - this is Elena's husband. As a result, "A1" had its license revoked, and its work was paralyzed. And one of the employees wrote a denunciation against Elena herself for "distributing extremist materials". She was tried and received a fine. The clinic soon closed.
Elena will go on trial at the end of January 2025 for participating in the 2020 protests. Her husband Ruslan was convicted of the same crime a month earlier. The verdict is unknown.

Karina loves traveling, photography, and handicrafts; five years ago, she created educational flashcards for children. Since 2017, she has worked at Peleng, and in recent years, she has been a 5th-grade optical components inspector in the quality control bureau, where she tested the quality of optical products.
The exact date of his arrest is unknown; his last social media activity was recorded around July 2024, when mass testing of Peleng employees was conducted as part of the Belpol investigation: they were subjected to polygraph tests, some were fired, and there was no information about criminal cases being opened at that time.
