Officially, those responsible for the murder of Bondarenko have not been established; according to the investigation, the man died as a result of a fight.

“But we will wait for a fair, honest and open trial over those involved in Roma's case – and many other crimes. We also will not forget the names of our heroes and deeds that made them heroes forever, “Tikhanovskaya wrote.

The conflict in the Minsk courtyard with the unofficial name” Square of Changes “took place on November 12, 2020. According to eyewitnesses, unknown people came to the courtyard, which became one of the centers of attraction for those who disagreed with the results of the presidential elections in Belarus in August 2020, and began to remove the white-red-white symbols of the protesters. Roman Bondarenko went out into the street and asked them not to take off their flags – in response they hit him several times, grabbed them and took them away in an unknown direction. Later, Bondarenko was taken to the hospital from the Central District Department of Internal Affairs of Minsk, where he died.

The news of Bondarenko's death caused a great resonance – thousands of people took to the streets for commemorative actions, and the place of detention of the man became a national memorial. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko personally instructed the prosecutor to take control of the case.
