On the “repentant video” , he says that he left insulting comments about Lukashenka, and also allegedly registered in the chat bot of the Peramoga plan.
It is known that at least earlier he worked in the Ruzhansky sanatorium.
The man is accused of being the administrator of the Ruzhany 97% chat, which was recognized as extremist in January 2022. In general, the chat looks like it has been abandoned for a long time - pro-government media and videos of the security forces are reposted there, but no one deletes them.
