Lukashenko’s masked henchmen killed 31-year-old Roman Bondarenko.
The dictator of Belarus lies about the cause of death.
And arrest journalists and doctors who tell the truth about the murder.
On the night of November 11, Roman Bondarenko, who lived near the Change Square – Ploshjad Peremen – in Minsk, went down to the courtyard to find out why masked strangers were breaking the opposition’s white-red-white flags.
The masked men dropped Roman to the ground and beat him. Moments later, he was taken from a Minsk police station to BSMP hospital, where he died.

Roman Bondarenko turned 31 years old.
The next day, thousands of Minsk residents gathered at the scene with steroid candles and flowers in honor of Roman.
On November 13, the investigation committee (equivalent to the Swedish Public Prosecutor’s Office) claimed that Bondarenko had been poisoned with alcohol when he died.
An hour later, journalist Katerina Borisevich was able to report on the Tut.by news site that a doctor denied the public version of Bondarenko’s death.
“Roman had zero alcohol per thousand in his blood,” said one of the hospital doctors.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko later that day spread the wrong version of Bondarenko’s death:
– The police arrived at the scene. Then all the protesters fled, as usual. Police found an injured person who was intoxicated. The Commission of Inquiry confirmed it today. Of course, the police took it. Along the way, it got worse. They called an ambulance and sent him to hospital, Lukashenko said.
On November 15, thousands of Minsk residents came out and demonstrated under the slogan “I go out.” Those were the last words Bondarenko wrote, in a chat. About a thousand protesters were arrested in the Belarusian capital on Sunday. Subsequently, the Plaza del Cambio was cleaned of all wreaths, candles and flowers in memory of Roman and thrown into garbage trucks, reports the Novaya Gazeta newspaper.

On November 19, prosecutors announced that the doctor, who had revealed that Bondarenko was sober, had been arrested. It was alleged that he had violated the doctor’s duty of confidentiality when he told Bondarenko and that his “dubious duties” had “created tensions in society”. The doctor is now threatened with three years in prison. His identity is unknown.
– The suspect had a criminal conversation with the representative of the Tut.by site, the prosecutor considered.
Later that day, on Thursday, it became clear that the Tut.by journalist who had written about Roman’s sobriety, Katerina Borisevich, had also been arrested. Information on this came from his own daughter. That night, he received a call from his mother, who was being held by the KGB security service.

On Friday, November 20, Roman Bondarenko was buried in the North Minsk Cemetery. Thousands of Belarusians followed him to his final resting place. They clapped and chanted his last words: “I’m going out.”
Cousin Olga Kucherenko tells Tut.by that Roman still wanted to be an artist since childhood. He later studied at the Minsk Academy of Art and completed his studies there in 2014.
When protests against the rigged presidential elections in Belarus on August 9, 2020, became strong during the fall and the Square of Change (officially not called that, only according to the protest movement) became a center of resistance, Roman began to teach children to paint in the square. Now they hang children’s drawings on the site, with tributes to Roman.
– Come back and teach us to paint, write Masja in one of the drawings.

Several children have drawn pictures to honor the memory of the novel.
When they finished his studies in 2014, Roman did his military service as a spetsnaz soldier.
Viktor, one of Roman’s bad friends, tells Tut.by that Roman was kind and friendly and that he used to make tattoo sketches for his friends.
Another messed up friend, Mark, says:
– He was open, impulsive and straightforward. He reacted very strongly to injustices.
