State media published a video of the alleged seizure of the apartment where he was and, according to the KGB, defended himself with a weapon.

Lukashenko called the operation brilliant.

What really happened?

We collected information from the authorities and state media, as well as statements from the association of former ByPol ​​security forces and the versions of analysts.

The KGB initiated a criminal case

The KGB has opened a criminal case on the fact of preparing to commit an act of terrorism, the official representative of the department, Konstantin Bychak, told the state television channel "Belarus 1".

State TV reported that the "liquidated foreigner" - a person with a forged Russian passport - Lamakin Aleksei Nikolayevich, born in 1981.

The owner of the apartment and his parents were detained

The owner of the apartment on the street.

Kurchatava, 5 Alyaksandar Koscievich was detained by the KGB, human rights activists report with reference to hrodna.life.

The STV channel noted that he was arrested for participating in protests back in 2010.

His parents are detained.

According to state media, 14 people who spoke with the "terrorist" were interrogated in the case.

ByPol ​​considers the events staged and names the alleged "terrorist"

ByPol ​​believes that the only truth told by the KGB when talking about the alleged elimination of Russian citizen Aleksei Lomakin, who planned terrorist acts, on March 19 in Hrodna is that the Russian citizen's passport was forged.

During the inspection, ByPol ​​itself allegedly received operative information from the participants of the "Victory" plan, that no terrorist existed, and all related activities by the KGB were staged.

At the same time, ByPol ​​names the person who supposedly played the main role in this production and, allegedly using a live grenade, died during the assault.

According to ByPol, this person could be an active member of the KGB, Aleksey Mikolaevich Zakharov, a native of Horadek, Vitebsk Region.

He is allegedly serving in the operational and search department of the UKDB in the Vitebsk region in the service of external surveillance.

This staging, according to ByPol, was carried out on the eve of Freedom Day on March 25 with the aim of intimidating Belarusians who continue to fight the regime, as well as to raise the authority of the KGB in front of Lukashenka.

A former employee of Lukashenka's administration calls the incident a "showdown of security forces".

Anatol Kotau

, a former employee of the administration and the Office of the President of Belarus, a political scientist and diplomat,

believes that the official version of the incident in Hrodna is a "complete fake", and says that the struggle and internal competition between the security forces is growing.

Kotov expresses the opinion that Minsk is now afraid of a radical escalation in relations with the West.

Ihar Makar, an ex-"diamond worker", considers the KGB video a production

In an interview with Svaboda, ex-employee of the special unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "Almaz" Ihar Makar questioned the authenticity of this video.

He is convinced that the KGB published the production.

"The situation somewhat resembles the case of the "conspiracy" of Zyankovich - Fyaduta - Kastusev", - Drakakhrust analyst

According to Svoboda analyst Yury Drakakhrust, that "conspiracy" was not pure fiction, subjectively, its participants acted sincerely, but the entire initiative was under the control of the Belarusian special services almost from the beginning.

The events in Hrodna could have been the same provocation, Drakakhrust believes.

"The situation is somewhat reminiscent of the case of the "conspiracy" of Zyankovich - Fyaduta - Kastusev," he muses.

Oleg Talerchik: the transition of power has begun, Kachanava is being prepared

The ex-employee of the Prosecutor General's Office, Oleg Talerchyk, talks about this on Svoboda Premium.

According to Talerchyk, the incident that allegedly happened in Hrodna could be a provocation by the special services, which fits into the process of power transition in Belarus.



"The pressure on the patriots of Belarus increased.

The regime exterminates all those who are able to defend independence.

These horrors they report may be a continuation of that chain to further tighten the nuts to further frighten.

In my opinion, the transition of power is about to happen soon.

And in order for everything to go according to their scenario, they intimidate society even more, which can hinder this process.

They introduced changes to the Criminal Code, approved the death penalty for treason.

It's all for the purpose of uniting assets that strengthen the regime, so that they don't hesitate," says a former employee of the Prosecutor General's Office.
