Remember Pyatrusza, who ripped out the wires from the "DJs of Change"? He was demoted to the third league of officials after months of unemployment

43-year-old Dzmitry Pyatrusza — until recently Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee — after five months of unemployment, was demoted to the position of director of the Main State Construction Expertise branch for the Minsk region.

It appears that, to avoid being listed in the database of 'social parasites', Pyatrusza Jr. had to resort to his father's professional connections. Viktar Pyatrusza until recently headed the parent organization — the Main State Construction Expertise itself.

Dzmitry Pyatrusza was born in 1983 in Vitebsk. In 2006, he graduated from Vitebsk Technological University, started working as a gas service master at "Vitebskoblgaz", and concurrently enrolled in the Academy of Public Administration.

He graduated in 2012, began to receive managerial positions in the field, and already in 2018 — unexpectedly — became the head of the Tsentralny District of Minsk.

Replacing the disgraced Ihar Buzouski, Pyatrusza became the youngest district head in the capital.

In 2020, he became infamous for that same wire-ripping incident, but nevertheless received the medal "For Labor Merits".

In July 2021, Pyatrusza was appointed General Director of "Keramin". His tenure coincided with difficult sanction times. The enterprise did not achieve great heights, and starting from 2022, its financial statements were classified.

But the management was likely satisfied with Pyatrusza. In early 2025, Pyatrusza was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee. In the table of ranks, this is not a demotion, but rather a horizontal movement, from which one can jump somewhere into the government.

But in his hometown, Vitebsk, something broke in Pyatrusza's career.

On January 15, 2026, Lukashenka removed Governor Alyaksandr Subotsin — the one who had appointed Pyatrusza to the position — and replaced him with Alyaksandr Rahozhnik.

During the appointment, Lukashenka said that the region "needed a breakthrough" and demanded discipline. Rahozhnik himself then told reporters that he would first see "who is worth what," and then make personnel decisions.

Three months later, on April 9, two new deputies appeared, and one of them, Pyotr Byalus, was assigned exactly Pyatrusza's area. Pyatrusza was removed from his post and not immediately given any new one.

The reason for the dismissal is unknown. Perhaps the new governor was simply building his own team. But there is a fact: Pyatrusza was not given any new equivalent position; he remained unemployed for almost five months until he surfaced in his father's 'parish'.

Interestingly, in addition to his new position, Pyatrusza also received a seat as a delegate to the All-Belarusian People's Assembly (ANP).
