The musician began his address with a quote from a poem by Yanka Kupala.

Siarhei Mikhalok said that Brutto musicians do not recognize the 2020 elections results and do not consider Lukashenka a legitimate President. He called for new fair presidential elections, Radio Svaboda reports.

Siarhei Mikhalok believes that the best candidates in the new elections would not be politicians, but people who have proved that they are patriots of the country.

Famous musician Siarhei Mikhalok recorded a video message that began with a quote from the poem "Song of a free man" by Yanka Kupala:

In vain the whistle of whips

Tyrants want to frighten,

Catching up with the hundreds of black gangs,

They shackle your hands in handcuffs,—

I am a free man at heart,

And so I will be for a century!

In the end, he sang a protest anthem written in December 2010, "Hraj."
