In his former position as Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of Brest Region/Oblast Executive Committee and Major-General of Militia, he was responsible for the repression and intimidation campaign in that region/oblast against peaceful protesters in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, in particular arbitrary arrests, excessive use of force and ill-treatment, including torture. He remains active in the Lukashenka regime as Head of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is therefore supporting the Lukashenka regime and is responsible for serious violations of human rights and the repression of civil society and democratic opposition in Belarus.

En tant qu'ancien chef du département des affaires intérieures du comité exécutif de la région/l'oblast de Brest et général de division de la milice, il a été responsable de la campagne de répression et d'intimidation menée dans cette région/cet oblast à l'encontre de manifestants pacifiques à la suite de l'élection présidentielle de 2020, en particulier d'arrestations arbitraires, de recours excessif à la force et de mauvais traitements, y compris la torture. Il continue de jouer un rôle actif dans le régime de Loukachenka en tant que directeur de l'académie du ministère de l'intérieur. Il soutient donc le régime de Loukachenka et est responsable de graves violations des droits de l'homme et de la répression de la société civile et de l'opposition démocratique en Biélorussie.
