The editors of motolko.help continue to receive dozens of reports on dismissals of employees at state-owned enterprises based on the so-called «lists» that are sent to enterprises from higher authority, some write that directly from the KGB. It is known for sure that the «lists» include people who signed for alternative candidates during the 2020 elections. It’s also reported that they include those who spoke publicly (or signed appeals) against violence in August 2020, who actively expressed their position and / or were arrested for participating in peaceful demonstrations.
