Russian political blogger who praises Lukashenka banned from entering Belarus

Nazir Yevloev's TikTok channel, where he expresses his thoughts on various political events, has about 412 thousand subscribers.

The blogger himself is not an ordinary person. Yevloev is Ingush by nationality; previously, he worked as the press secretary for the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ingushetia — a republic within Russia.

He received a first-group disability in 2008 — a bomb was placed under his car. The injured man was taken to the hospital; he had to amputate his left leg.

Nazir Yevloev has Russian citizenship, but it appears he lives in Germany.

Last year, the TikToker was already involved in a scandal at the Polish-Belarusian border. The problem arose then because Nazir, who has a disability, wanted to pass without waiting in line. For this, he needed to show border guards a certificate stating the percentage of his disability. Russian certificates do not indicate this, and the German one needed to be translated into Belarusian or Russian. An indignant Yevloev even recorded a video address to Lukashenka.

A few days ago, the TikToker, who was genuinely convinced that his border adventures were over, again wanted to enter Belarus from Poland.

— Belarusian border guards took my passport back and forth... 'Please,' they said, 'park the car here and come with me.' I went. They took my fingerprints, I signed what was needed. I asked: 'What happened?'

The blogger was informed that he is banned from entering Belarus until September 17, 2026. This decision was made by the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs — that's where the border guards advised Nazir to go for all explanations.

The TikToker is furiously offended and again appeals to Lukashenka:

— This is how it is, Alexander Grigoryevich! And I am a person who wages an information war, supports Belarus, supports Alexander Grigoryevich.

I consider him a real man, a true patriot of his people. In 2020, I personally supported the president. When every dog hated him and was ready to tear him apart. When Alexander Grigoryevich, together with his son, defended his people with weapons from Western intervention.

Nazir assures: if Lukashenka had been in Ukraine instead of Yanukovych at the time, there would have been order. And if Yanukovych had been in Belarus instead of Lukashenka, it would be "like in Ukraine" here.

The blogger hopes that his video will reach Lukashenka or at least his administration.

In the next video, Nazir tries to be less harsh in his statements — he says that his attitude towards Belarus will not change anyway.

— Belarusians will still be an example for me of how one should live, how one should build their country. Belarusians have long shown this example. It's just offensive. For simply demanding that the law be followed. For defending my rights…

Now the blogger is thinking about what to do next and how to get to Russia.

— Through Estonia? But Estonians are also angry…

And he worries whether he will be allowed into Belarus after September 17 — because the ban can be extended.
