In Belarus, a court has recognized all the channels of blogger Andrei Burim, known under the pseudonym Mellstroi, as extremist materials. The announcement was made on November 6 by the press service of the country’s Interior Ministry.
“On November 4, 2025, at the initiative of the GUBOPiK of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Central District Court of Minsk recognized the blogger’s channels on all platforms, as well as logos and watermarks, as extremist materials,” the department’s Telegram channel stated.
According to law enforcement agencies, numerous violations of public order and hooliganism were recorded in the country in October. It was established that Burim, who was hiding abroad, was involved in organizing illegal actions, including calling for participation in contests via the Internet, committing offenses, and then posting videos on social networks for monetary remuneration.
Earlier, on October 23, it became known that a story spread on social networks about a one-year-old child who had a tattoo tattooed by his parents to participate in the Mellstroyblogging contest was false. On October 24, police began investigating a family from Cheboksary. According to the Russian Interior Ministry, the idea of the video originated from the child’s mother, who sought “fame” and participated in the blogger’s challenge.
All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
