Two blokes on Savetskaya in Brest in red-green caps sang along to the song "Zhukovs". And carelessly posted it on Threads
A comment wishing them "advice and love!" collected over 500 likes.

Two young men in dark jackets sang along to songs on the pedestrian Savetskaya Street in Brest on May 1st. One of them, Vyachaslau Sishchuk, posted a video of this on his Threads. Both he and his companion were wearing identical black baseball caps with the red-green flag.
Their behavior was perceived ambiguously in combination with the Russian pop music they were moving to — the song "Batareyka" by the band "Zhuki":
И вроде всё как всегда,
Всё те же чашки-ложки,
Всё та же в кране вода,
Всё тот же стул без ножки…
Я тосковал по тебе
В минуты расставанья,
Ты возвращалась ко мне
Сквозь сны и расстоянья…
As a result, the post went viral, but not in the way Vyachaslau Sishchuk had intended — he had accompanied his May Day posts with the tag "#хочуврек" (I want to be recommended).
The video gathered hundreds of likes under condemning comments.
The most liked comment at the moment was the ironic: "You have a handsome guy, and you look good together. Advice and love to you!"
In second place was an equally biting comment: "What wonderful faces! Untouched by the stamp of intellect! And those wonderful dead fish eyes! Advice and love to you!"
Other people call them "salty hunchbacks". They write: "What kind of penicillin is this?" And also: "That moment when you hope it's AI."
"They put this collective farm [cap] on their heads, and I'm the one who's ashamed," concludes another commentator.
Any public performance of songs in Belarus is now strictly regulated. "Blacklists" include hundreds of artists, among them all stars of independent Belarusian music, almost all contemporary Ukrainian singers, and all Russian performers who spoke out against the war. At the same time, low-quality music by artists loyal to the authorities is welcomed everywhere. And state symbols have come to be perceived as a symbol of mass repression and humiliation of people by security forces after 2020.
