As part of the information day on March 1, 2023, the director of the institution «State Archive of the Gomel Region» Sushchevich A.N. brought to the attention of the team information about the detention in the city of Gomel of 200 members of PMC «Redan»

As part of the information day, on March 1, 2023, a meeting of archive workers was held in the reading room of the State Archives of the Gomel Region (hereinafter referred to as the GAG).

In his report, the director of the GAGom Sushchevich A.N. brought to the attention of the team information about the detention on the eve of 200 members of the Redan PMC in the city of Gomel.

Andrey Nikolayevich told what the informal youth group of PMC «Redan» is like. As a rule, young people aged 15 years refer themselves to the subculture. They are distinguished by black clothes with the image of a spider and the number «4», long dark hair.

– Police officers quickly responded to an attempt to hold an illegal mass event. Without the use of physical force, 200 people were brought to the internal affairs bodies, 183 of whom are minors, – Andrei Nikolayevich noted.

In addition, Sushchevich A.N. informed the staff of the GAG that the detainees were being checked, and their actions were being given a legal assessment. Adolescents who were under 16 years of age at the time of detention will receive a warning with «registration» with the Inspectorate for Juvenile Affairs. But those who have reached the age of sixteen are already threatened, at least, with administrative responsibility.

At the end of the meeting, the director of the archive urged everyone to be attentive to their relatives and friends, especially children, not to succumb to manipulations and calls for mass gatherings. We must not only protect our loved ones from dubious subcultures, but also explain that participation in such events is fraught with consequences!

The GAGom team called for a strict condemnation of the subculture that involved the residents of the city of Gomel in an illegal mass event.
