The provocateur at the Freedom Day rally, who complained about the EU, turns out to be an adventurer from Mahilou.

He was recognised by Mahiliou-based musical band Zatochka.

Two guys attracted attention of journalists during yesterday’s Freedom Day rally. One of them was loudly talking in Belarusian and Russian and asking whom the participants were celebrating independence from. He was indignant about EU flags. He wore a T-shirt "Beogradski Sindikat" – a Serbian hip-hop group popular among right-wing football fans.

The other man, who imitated a Serbian accent, introduced himself as a Serb. He also complained about the EU and unemployment. Members of Zatochka band say the guy is known in Mahilou as Grisha. He later deleted his account from social networks. People write on social networking websites that he swindled several people out of money, Belsat reports.
