Belarus to Probe Egor Krid's Video for Nazi Rehabilitation
The Prosecutor General's Office of Belarus proposed that the Investigative Committee check the video clip by Igor Kridd for signs of inciting social hatred or enmity, rehabilitating Nazism, denying the genocide of the Belarusian people, and other crimes.
Consensus

- Egor Krid stated he did not watch the film and was unaware of the reference, and apologized for the incident.
- The long-sleeve shirt was blurred in the video and removed from sale after the controversy.
- The film 'I Go to See' is based on real events during World War II and depicts Nazi atrocities in occupied Belarus in 1943.
