In Mogilev, Sobolevsky is known as one of the freelancers who collaborated with city online publications until 2020. Ales was sentenced twice for an administrative violation for a day, after which he was not released.

According to the prosecution materials , in December 2020, Krasko “published comments in the public domain on the Internet aimed at supporting extremist activities, propaganda and agitation of social discord and hostility towards employees of state law enforcement agencies of the Republic of Belarus, representatives of the judiciary, military personnel serving in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, published publicly available comments on the Internet aimed at supporting extremist activities, promoting and agitating social discord and hostility towards this category of persons."

According to pro-government telegram channels, four people were detained - they are called a "sleeper cell of extremists" who had "external connections" with Belarusian volunteers fighting in Ukraine. Among them is Dmitry.

All of them are from Gomel and, judging by their posts on social networks, have been friends for a long time, participating together in an international game of Beer Pong in Gomel. After the brutal detention , the friends were forced to record a “repentance video” and say that they created a chat where they corresponded with each other, and after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they allegedly insulted Lukashenko several times in correspondence, and also wrote “wrong” comments. Another accusation is that the guys “had external connections” with Belarusian volunteers who are fighting for Ukraine. Apparently, this was the basis for initiating a criminal case under the article “promoting extremist activities.”
