A few weeks ago, Siarhei Kakouka, known on TikTok as "The Destroyer," visited Minsk Polyclinic No. 24. This place is familiar to anyone with a driver's license, as it's where medical examinations must be completed.
The man was shocked by how things were organized there. He says there were more than 150 people in the queue. He waited three hours to get a referral for that medical examination. Then he rushed through all the necessary doctors in 10 minutes. He says that, given the number of people, the medics simply stamp papers.

The man posted a video from the polyclinic on TikTok – and didn't mince words when asking officials to address the issue. In total, his two videos on this topic garnered about a million views.
Now, the story has continued. A few days ago, Siarhei received a call from the police. It turned out that a complaint had been filed against him for those videos.
Siarhei was surprised and asked what the stranger had complained about.
"He says: 'Regarding the fact that some individuals who appeared in the frame are against being seen by the public.'" The man, however, considers such a claim nonsense, as he didn't film anyone specifically – he just wanted to show the size of the queue.
According to the blogger, the police officer said that he himself understood well what was happening at Polyclinic No. 24. But he emphasized that Siarhei must come for a conversation at the police station.
"What's my point in all this? As soon as you open your mouth about the truth, they immediately start to pressure you." The man said that the law enforcement officer warned him it would be better to delete the video. But he is principled and does not want to do so.
