Denunciation is a delicate matter

Belarusian cyber partisans gained access to 40 thousand appeals of citizens in the KGB and leaked them to the network. But real denunciations of them are two or three thousand

The other day, cyber-partisan (the Belarusian informal association of hackers working abroad) in their telegram channel revealed the secret of the KGB of Belarus, which has been issued by the helpless Server Unavailble: “The official website of the KGB of the Republic of Belarus has not been working for more than two months. And all because the cyber -partisans made their way there back in the fall of 2023 and pumped all the available information. Alas, we were a little “sensational”, and the site had to be covered. ” In the proof of “noise”, they leaked the downloaded base of citizens' appeals in the KGB from 2014 to 2023.

But those who will immediately begin to speak out in a muddy: “So who wrote forty thousand denunciations?”, Obviously hastened. These 40 thousand appeals in the KGB can rather be called the letters of the workers mixed with spam and, of course, a certain number of denunciations. Reading all this is an unpleasant occupation. It's like looking into the keyhole. Nevertheless, this reading turned out to be useful for many - for the simple reason that righteous anger becomes the first reaction to the number (“There are so many informers among us?!”), And after reading it becomes easy and fun: no, nothing like that, in the KGB - in the mail of any edition there were always more than enough, and the percentage of the subsidiaries itself is small.

Category One: descendants of the repressed

The Belarusian human rights activist Tatyana Gatsura-Javorskaya, living in Ukraine, wrote on her Facebook page on April 30: “In the database of 40 thousand“ denunciations ”of the KGB, merged with cyber-partisans, found a message from my mother, sent from my mailbox:

I ask you to help in search of information about my close relative. My grandfather Shinkarev Peter Leontyevich (Leonidovich) was arrested in 1937 on criminal charges. Unfortunately, the date of birth is unknown. At the time of arrest, he worked and lived at the Slavic, Tolochinsky district, Vitebsk region. Earlier, he lived: the village of Pytsya, Sokolic s/s, Krupsky district. Wife: Shinkareva Maria Sergeevna (before the marriage of Mashkovich) b. 1913 I ask you to inform your archive with information about it, as well as the procedure for familiarization. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Galina Gatsura.

There are two conclusions:

1. The base is real.

2. There are no 40 thousand denunciations in the KGB. ”

That's right. Having pierced a huge file, I found that approximately every tenth appeal is a search for information about relatives repressed under Stalin. Of course, they write not only from Belarus. They are looking for traces of the gully great -grandmothers and great -grandfathers convicted by the "triples" of the NKVD of the BSSR.

Category Second: "Voices in the head"

There are a lot of such appeals, and they are repeated: the same message is sent with enviable regularity. “They use the station and send an electric current inside the arteries”, “they are irradiated and recorded on waves”, “They talk without stopping inside the body”, “Rivne bandits are looking for an amber room and arranged torture with radio voltage, photographing, electric magnets.” In addition to the "Rivne bandits" are the neighbors in the porch, the Americans, the "group of Russians in the territory of Belarus."

And the writers also demand to arrest a gang of terrorists in Severodonetsk, who organized a Chernobyl disaster and killed Viktor Tsoi. They say that Sergey Tikhanovsky and Konstantin Ernst are the same person who has a sex laying company in Minsk. And, of course, they offer salvation from cancer and Covid and require prohibiting vaccination.

70 percent of the total forty thousandth volume - namely. Moreover, the same message comes to the Electronic address of the KGB with intervals in a few seconds or minutes.

In general, everything is clear here, and the authors of these messages, of course, are very sorry. I think they write not only in the KGB.

Category Third. "I can't be silent"

Everything is quite simple here. These are appeals that fall into the KGB because the authors copy the same text to all state authorities, starting with the Lukashenko administration and ending with the district police officer. In the list of addressees - the Council of Ministers, the State Control Committee, the Prosecutor General, and the KGB, and the executive committee at the place of residence, and all kinds of ministries, and the editorial board of state newspapers. These are letters about the poor work of the housing and communal services, the requirements to return the previous color of the houses, because it used to be funny, complaints about the nasty quality of Belarusian medicines and small salaries, proposals to protect Lukashenko from ill -wishers at the same time reading the prayer “The Inexhaustible Psalter”, and then he will be invaluable, the request to pass on to the confessor, where he “consulted with the confessor, where to stand up And when the elections. "

A separate subcategory is a huge number of messages, the authors of which simply share their vision of the situation and advise how to better equip special forces and propaganda, and also want long years and good health. However, they are balanced by the same indifferent that advise gathering all the personnel of the KGB and arrest Lukashenko: this will immediately make the committees heroes, and the office itself will finally help to find a good name, which she failed in a hundred years.

Category Four: offended by the state and husbands

He was illegally fined by the inspector of the traffic police of the Kobrinsky police department, wrote a complaint to the head of the police department, in response received a reply that the audit was carried out and there were no violations. Understand.

They broke the jaw during the detention. No one answered for it. Understand.

The husband once served in the KGB, and now we cannot go on vacation, because he has restrictions on leaving. Understand, and better set the time for admission to the KGB chairman.

I work at a meat processing plant and I want to serve in the KGB, but they don’t take me because of my father’s criminal record. But my father was not engaged in my upbringing at all. Understand.

I came to undergo a medical examination and found out that I was registered with a narcologist. Understand.

The ex -husband is an officer of the KGB and pays child support. Recently, alimony has become less. Understand.

The ex -husband has access to state secrets, but told me a lot when we lived together. I think he is now telling his new wife. Understand.

It was a brief retelling of citizens from this category.

Category Five: "Can I do with you?"

The Belarusian journalist Evgenia Dolgaya in her Fabsuk remembered how a long -standing acquaintance with whom she had not talked for many years, in the spring of 2021, when she was already in exile, wrote: you need to return home, ask for forgiveness, repent, and then everything will be fine with you. Then she simply banned him, and now found his letter to the KGB in the same database of appeals: he asks for service, is ready to work as a freelance employee. For a moment, Eugene even pushed him to write short in personal messages: "You are fucking."

There are also such people who offer themselves the KGB as, if not personnel, then at least a freelance employee. Although we all know, and applicants, too, what a “freelance employee” is in relation to the KGB. Here Evgeny T. writes that he wants to help freely: he cannot count on the service because of a criminal record, but he really wants to cooperate. Of the advantages, it has not been “lit up” anywhere, so you can run into any circle without fears. Roman T. wants to “take an interview for the position of freelance employee of the KGB”. Olga K. writes about “a great desire to get into the ranks of the KGB officers”, the girl is not exchanged for freelance. Like Olga, an investigator of the UK from the district center, a customs officer, and a graduate of the Military Academy will ask for service in the valiant ranks without any freelance. But Alina K., unlike Olga, is more accommodating: she "is ready to solve problems to ensure state security on a vowel and unspoken confidential basis."

My favorite from this category is a certain Osipov with the message: “I ask you to hire as a freelance employee with payment of $ 312 a day.”

Category Sixth: Slokyvaya

These are real scammers. Fortunately, their number, as well as the number of denunciations in the database, is minimal. But they are.

Here the anonymous requires to close the site Charter97.org (Charter'97), because his father fell under the influence of destructive forces, reading the news on this site.

Here, a teacher of the art school in August 2020 reports to the director, who "speaks out against the current government, calls to go to rallies and dress in red and white clothes."

Here is a resident of the village of Tarasovo passes its neighbors on local chat, and a resident of Zhitkovichi names the names of local coordinators of protests.

Here Belarusian from Kyiv reports that a blogger, who is probably interested in the KGB, is going to Minsk.

Here Minsk resident writes a denunciation for his employer, who "finances illegal associations." He is echoed by a Belarusian from Spain, passing his own husband.

Inna Minsk woman names the surnames of the coordinators of protests in her area and reports at what address there are medicines and bandans.

Users of social networks write links to profiles of other users calling for protests.

An employee of the pedagogical university in September 2020, during protests, suddenly recalls that two years ago she saw under the bridge a car in which a man with binoculars was sitting, and in the light of recent events considers it necessary to inform the car number.

Even a Muscovite is not lazy to write to the Belarusian KGB about a neighbor married in the Belarusian, supporting protests.

The crown of creation in this category is a message from Krasnogorsk of the Moscow Region: “Hello! Please pay attention. A person seems to be a Belarusian. " And a link to the profile in VKontakte. The profile, by the way, is removed. Belarusus is dangerous.

About numbers

After the day of reading the “Working letters” I can say that, in addition to a sense of facilitating from the number of real denunciations in relation to the entire downloaded base, I experienced some disappointment from the work poorly made by cyber -partisans. No, in no case I can’t find fault. I admit that hacking the KGB and pumping out all the appeals for nine years from there is super -professional, bold and talented. But this is only half the work.

And the second half is a scrupulous, manually, separation of denunciations from the appeals of relatives of repressed and statements of unhealthy people. Because in the end, many thousands of personal data of people who are not related to denunciations or the KGB were freely available.

Their names, surnames, home addresses, mobile phone numbers - all this can now be sipped with a large spoon and use at your discretion.

People who are in the base are especially vulnerable - claiming that they are irradiated and talking in their heads. You can now go to them on the list. To take a globe with you for persuasiveness, a garlic-codel or some other random item and saying from the threshold: “I am from the KGB, we received your signal, and now I have come to free you from radiation, and the globe is a special device that will destroy all the rays around you.” And this person, seeking salvation from the KGB, will do everything for exemption from terrible radiation: he will give all the money, rewrite the apartment to the “employee”, go and kill whom they will indicate.

Of course, the separation of grains from the chaff would take a lot of time. And the list would look much more kutsy. “40 thousand denunciations in the KGB” - sounds, and even how. And two or three thousand in nine years are not so spectacular.

But clickbeit is not worth it.
