A Russian Actor Caused Two Drunken Disturbances In Minsk In The Span Of A Day

He faces a five-year ban on entering Belarus.

Russian actor Kuzma Saprykin was detained in Minsk after two drunken brawls in one day. First, Saprykin caused a scene at KFS, and the next day at “Vasilki,” according to the Telegram channel Mash.

According to the channel, on November 8, the actor got into an argument with fast-food employees and was taken to a temporary detention center. After his release, he went to the “Vasilki” café, where he swore, smashed dishes, provoked a fight, and slapped a friend who suggested he seek medical treatment. The friend then contacted the police.

Saprykin also caused a scene with the café’s staff, banging on the table and demanding his order, while boasting about his celebrity career.

Saprykin was detained on administrative charges. Documents regarding a possible five-year ban on entry into Belarus have been submitted to the court, according to Mash.

Kuzma Saprykin rose to fame after the film “Moving Up.” In the film, he played the famous Belarusian-born basketball player Ivan Edeshko (a player on the USSR national team wearing number 9).

According to Mash, the actor has been battling alcohol addiction for the past year and a half.
