A banner with obscene words appeared on the way from Minsk-2 airport.

On May 31, ahead of Vladimir Putin's visit to Minsk, Belarusian national bolsheviks hung out a banner “F*** off Putin” on the bridge on the way from Minsk-2 national airport to Minsk. The slogan looked good near the official banner welcoming the Russian president.

Police preventively detained and accused national bolshviks of swearing the day before the action. The Maskouski district court of Minsk heard their cases and sentenced Yauheny Kontush to 5 days in custody, Dzmitry Sinyak to 5 days, and Dzmitry Paliyenka to 10 days in custody.

We remind Putin makes his first official visit as the Russian president to Minsk.
