A resident of the city, Valentine Polovtsov, was detained near the Gomel supermarket, who came to see if they really could be detained in Gomel "for nothing". He approached a group of young people and convinced everyone that Lukashenko is “the best president, that “every authority needs to be obeyed” and he will never believe that the Belarusian militia is detaining people for no reason.

During this conversation, two special forces officers approached him, turned, dragged into a police car and brought to the Central ROVD. The Dear OVD informed Belapan that the citizen was then sent for psychiatric examination.

A joke? The Belarusian reality.
