04/17/2021

Upon Ziankovich’s arrival in Moscow, after consultations in the United States and Poland, the scheduled meeting took place in a separate office of one of the capital’s restaurants. During the meeting, the conspirators told the “Belarusian generals” that for the successful implementation of their plan, it was necessary to physically eliminate practically the entire top leadership of the republic. They detailed the plan for a military coup, in particular, including the seizure of radio and television centers to broadcast their appeal to the people, blocking the internal troops and riot police units loyal to the current government in the capital of the republic. A complete shutdown of the power system of Belarus was being prepared to hinder the actions of power and law enforcement agencies. It was assumed that some armed formations (“partisans”) located on the so-called “Hidden bases”.
The ultimate goal was to change the constitutional order with the abolition of the presidency and the imposition of the country’s leadership on the “Committee of National Reconciliation”. At the same time, Zyankovich planned to become the “curator” of the country’s parliament and the legal system, while Feduta wanted to engage in political reform and ideological work.
It is noteworthy that the oppositionists have chosen the day of the Victory Parade in Minsk on May 9th this year as the date of the military coup.
After documenting the meeting, the conspirators were detained by the Russian security forces and handed over to their Belarusian partners.
In relation to Zyankovich and Feduta, the investigative bodies of Belarus are investigating a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under Article 357 (conspiracy or other actions committed with the aim of seizing state power) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
