Pavel Seviarynets shared his thoughts on KGB agent Yauhen Dudkin within his party ranks

Pavel Seviarynets admits that it "doesn't fit in his head" how a young person can make such a choice consciously:

"This is a very difficult personal choice for a young person. I simply cannot imagine, it doesn't fit in my head, how one can voluntarily cooperate with special services... Especially knowing what is happening. Especially in a situation where war is literally ongoing, not just in Ukraine, but war is happening throughout the region. And to make such a choice..."

For those who find themselves caught by the security forces, Seviarynets sees only two honest paths:

"Either you immediately reveal this, or you simply leave politics. In both cases, a trail remains. That is, it is very difficult to act after this."

"If the repentance is truly sincere, and if the person genuinely wants to benefit Belarus, it will be visible by the fruits," —

Seviarynets adds and notes that he has not yet met and does not plan to meet with Dudkin. However, if Dudkin himself wants to meet, then, according to Pavel, he will listen to his story and look him straight in the eyes.

According to the politician, the special services act methodically: they create psychological profiles and select those who could potentially break. Therefore, for any public figure, vigilance in their personal life becomes a matter of security for the entire movement:

"Those who work against Belarus create psychological profiles, targeting and identifying those who will break, who will succumb. One must be very careful and vigilant in their personal life. One must understand that if you have taken on the burden of shining for others, then you will simply be hunted here."

Pavel notes that he knew Dudkin as a clever young activist and could never have imagined such a thing about him.

"On the other hand — a person, a human soul — is a dark mystery. It's complicated," notes Seviarynets.

Reflecting on the moral responsibility an agent must bear, Seviarynets emphasizes: the only way is an attempt to restore what has been destroyed:

"Undoubtedly, there must be a restoration of what was damaged. That is, if you realize that you have destroyed much, destroyed human destinies, you must dedicate your life to restoring trust, to compensating for the losses people have suffered."

Pavel emphasizes that the public life of a former agent does not end with self-disclosure, and provides historical examples:

"One can cite an example of heroic Belarusian priests from historical Belarusian Christian democracy. They were recruited, blackmailed in such a way... [they] revealed themselves to the church leadership, tried to work for Belarus under any circumstances. It's easy, of course, to say now that Natallia Arsiennieva, or, for example, Adam Stankievich... They had some history. Interrogations there, they signed, they didn't sign."

"It is not for me to judge, but I believe that in this situation, one can also remain human, one can also overcome this with faith and work. To prove with your fruits that your choice is not betrayal, but your choice is truth," concludes the politician.
