Vitebsk host joked at a private event. Two hours later, police arrived for him after a tip-off
Someone from the 50 event participants sent a video of Vitaly Savelev's performance to the police chatbot and wrote that he was joking on political topics.
Vitebsk host Vitaly Savelev spoke about the outrageous incident on TikTok.
According to the man, every year at the end of the wedding season, hosts hold a "Session" — an event where industry professionals gather to celebrate the end of the wedding marathon.
"Traditionally at such an event, we do a 'roast' — it's a format of harsh jokes about each other. All the time everyone laughs, jests, sometimes even quite rudely. But it was always taken and is taken with humor. Or rather, it was taken until yesterday," says Vitaly.
The man made harsh jokes about a colleague who was not at the event.
Two hours after the performance, law enforcement officers arrived for Vitaly and asked him to give an explanation regarding those jokes.
Vitaly admits that until the last moment he was sure that the police arrival was a prank from colleagues. But it turned out that everything was serious: the policemen showed a message from an anonymous person that they received in their Telegram bot. Someone sent a recording of Savelev's performance and wrote that he had made offensive statements of a political nature at the event.
Such a statement greatly surprised Vitaly. He claims that he didn't say a word about politics.
"There were more than 50 people in the hall who, when they found out about this whole story, that a patrol arrived and we wrote a report, explanations, were in shock. The situation is so surreal that I really didn't want to believe it."
The host says he might have laughed about the story if it weren't for the accusation of some political jokes.
He called the person he joked about — that person claims he didn't write to the Ministry of Internal Affairs chatbot. Vitaly is inclined to believe that he really had nothing to do with it.
"What's the point of the story? It's that, my friends, sometimes you don't even know that the one who smiles at your face is already writing a statement about you on their phone in their pocket."
Vitaly admits that he is very disappointed, but he has no desire to find out who reported him. He considers his jokes harmless and far from political topics, as they joked exclusively about colleagues-friends and work.
