“One way or another, everything ends up in jail. He can be beaten to death almost in part and no one will know about it, and then taken into custody, from where he will be sent to a military prison.
When I attended to the boys they were taken into custody for whatever trinkets: they did not smoke there during the service, they forgot some of the equipment, etc. Although a lot depends on the officers, I was fortunate to fall in good company. Our commander really took care of the soldiers. Today someone else is wearing it, he can also use force there, scream and get drunk to go to work, “he said. kuku.org.
Vladimir spoke about “brainwashing” in the special forces. For hours on end, they were shown videos of Maidan and other protests in which people beat officials with Molotov cocktails.
“They constantly told us that in protests we would be careful, we would take care of each other, because even a pretty 80-year-old grandmother can take a Molotov cocktail out of her bag and take it to a platoon of men with shields. Therefore, we were often told the story of an old man who threw a package of milk at Lukashenko’s tuple, which is a real case, “Vladimir said.
During his service, he was engaged in the protection of A. Lukashenko.
“It just came to our attention then. We needed to walk a certain route and look for suspicious people so they didn’t make detours. Capture suspicious items, explosives, etc. and notify security personnel if there are people on the route with a white-red flag. “, – kuku.org he said.
Vladimir claimed that he had worked under Lukashenko’s protection for a year. He had never seen or spoken to the president live, but managed to learn his travel schedule.
“Every Tuesday and Thursday (I may be wrong about the days) I had a hockey day, so I would go to the sports hall for competitions or training.
He spent the next few days at the Independence Palace and could periodically fly out of the private airfield somewhere. I don’t remember where that airfield is – we weren’t there often, but actually somewhere outside the city “, – interview kuku.org he said.
Vladimir said he did not know exactly how many people were guarding A. Lukashenko traveling from point A to point B, but it was 25 soldiers, OMON officials, representatives of the security service.
Vladimir refused to stay in the army after his service: although he was offered a good salary and an apartment, he saw more than pros and cons. According to him, half of Vladimir’s platoon passed to OMON and other bodies.
“I spoke with a man who now works for OMON, but his squad did not name protesters to pursue him, he won nothing and he says he was lucky.
I can understand the recruits that are now being sent to protest, which is scary for the guys. If they are ordered to strike, and they refuse and lower their shields, the people will, of course, support them. But in the evening they will return to the brigade and destroy them there. And after that, he will be put in a war prison and completely ruin his life, “he said. kuku.org.

When the journalist pointed out that officials must return not only to the platoon, but also to the family, Vladimir speaks of “dissonance”, “fear of humanity.”
“If the whole company abandons the shields, maybe not everyone will be punished, otherwise the situation would turn into a big scandal. However, this is only possible if an authorized initiator appears in the company. The most ideal scenario, if It is ordered by an officer. Then the recruits will be safe. But for the officer … “he said.
Tired and dear change
Vladimir said he was never interested in politics, but things changed during this year’s presidential campaign. He said he knew from the beginning that he would go to vote against Lukashenko, which he did: “I’m tired and I want a change.”
Vladimir participated in the protests on August 9, 10 and 11. On August 12, he and another person were detained alone in a cafe.
“They took us to an isolator, they took us to a corridor where there were no cameras, they laid us face down on the floor and we started hitting with rubber sticks below the waist demanding a phone password. A guy immediately unlocked his phone, I resisted a bit.

I remember when they beat me I said, “Men, I served in the army; they beat us harder there.” It is true that after that I received more blows on my buttocks and legs. At the same time, I automatically covered my butt with my hand, the blow hit my middle finger, “he said.
Vladimir was questioned, signed a protocol, and was arrested for 15 days in court the next day because the guy attended three demonstrations. Vladimir was released four days later, but was prosecuted for organizing criminal activities and damaging the property of officials. Consequently, he would face up to three years in prison in Belarus.

“I loaded my suitcase, the third night a man from the Warsaw Solidarity Center called and said I had to go, try to cross the Belarusian border. At first, I planned to get a visa, but decided there was no time for that, “he said.
Vladimir managed to leave the country after lying that he had left his Polish residence permit in Warsaw. He is currently applying for political asylum after obtaining a temporary residence permit in Poland. The Belarusian Solidarity Fund provides financial assistance to the child who has remained in Warsaw.
“I was proud to belong to Army Unit 3214. However, we lived isolated from the information: we received news from state magazines and from the public broadcaster.
We believed that we were doing the right thing, we believed what the commanders told us. Now I understand that everything he told us is a lie. That the state and the administration only care about their own lives and the lives of their families. That they don’t care about people, and that soldiers are puppets, kuku.org he said.
