“Cut off your tongues and just get out.” Pravosek and Navalnists were preparing terrorist attacks in Belarus
The Belarusian TV channel ONT aired a two-part documentary about the terrorist attacks that were being prepared in the country in May-June this year.
Participants in the terrorist attacks were selected through destructive chats on the Internet. The administrator of one of them, “Civil Self-Defense Units of Belarus” (OGSB), was a certain Denis Goffman. A native of Khabarovsk, he spent most of his life in Ukraine, had connections with the Right Sector, and now lives in Germany. In the chat, Hoffman appeared under the nickname Dis.
Also active in the chat was another native of Russia, Yegor Dudnikov, who operated under the nickname Evil Betz. He actively encouraged participants to use force, including murder with a poisoned awl. Initially, he planned to create a similar chat “Russian Civil Self-Defense Units” during the protests in Russia in connection with the detention of Navalny. Now he has been arrested, is actively cooperating with the Belarusian investigation and calls all members of the OGSB “morons.” He said that the chat administrators live in Germany, Japan and Ukraine.
Dis recruited people from among the chat participants who were potentially ready for terrorist attacks. He started with simple tasks - he suggested posting leaflets or painting a tobacco stall with revolutionary symbols. People with unstable psyches were selected to carry out sabotage.
At this stage, officers of the Belarusian KGB infiltrated the OGSB. They introduced themselves as an airsoft team and provided Dees with an impressive video of their preparations. The administrator was delighted, posted the video in the chat and invited airsoft players to undergo training in the use of military weapons in Ukraine. They refused.
Mostly Dis came up with the tasks himself, but among the OGSB participants there were those who took the initiative. Natalya Matveeva, under the nickname Octavia, suggested setting fire to logging equipment. She was detained at the sawmill. Matveeva immediately agreed to cooperate with the investigation, and for a long time maintained Dis’s illusion that the terrorist attack had succeeded. To do this, the KGB set fire to a faulty car, and sent the recording to the administrator of the OGSB.
Dis had high hopes for the terrorist attack with the explosion of the tower of the Russian Navy communications center in Vileika. The weapons and thermal imager for this operation were transported illegally across the border with Ukraine, and it was planned to transport the perpetrators there after the completion of the terrorist attack. At the preparation stage, Hofman flaunted his connections with oligarch Igor Kolomoisky and Russian political strategist Vladislav Rogimov.
“We need to install explosives on one tower, for about an hour and a half and leave, there will be an explosion - this is such a topic and it is also very noisy, because the object of the Russian Federation is very important to them,” Dis explained to the participants the essence of the task.
This terrorist attack was also prevented.
The last operation planned by the OGSB was the kidnapping of TV journalist Grigory Azarenka with the aim of crippling him.
“The propagandists should cut out their tongues, and just kill the cops. We need real physical elimination. Just one, two, three corpses and everything will go as planned. When you knock it out (Azarenka – ed.), then you can shoot. If our killer sees that that eye opened and saw one of you, most likely he will kill him, well, because he doesn’t need witnesses,” explained Dis.
When this operation also failed due to the fact that one of the appointed executors turned out to be a KGB officer, it became impossible to hide the fact that intelligence services had infiltrated the destructive chat. Dis became depressed. He began changing accounts, avatars, and nicknames. OGSB was closed.
However, other similar groups continue to operate on the Internet, the filmmakers admit.
