Selected events

I made these screenshots in the summer of 2020 when the streets were full of people and anyone could view images streamed by the independent media, which had yet not been banned by the regime’s administration under the pretext of fighting extremism. The Internet signal was sometimes being disrupted, we could not see images but only hear voices – that we were tired with waiting and wanted to live in a normal state. In 9–12 August, the Internet was cut off in Belarus. Connections could be made using 2G, making only text messages and alarm calls possible. After normal communication was restored, information on beatings and violence against the protesters was spread, which led to protests erupting with renewed energy.
