Michalevic was deputy to the Pukhavichy district council and coordinator of the Assembly of Deputies to Local Councils. [...] In 2007-08, he worked as a legal consultant at the Association of Disabled Veterans of the War in Afghanistan, and in 2008-10 he worked as a lawyer at the Belarusian Independent Trade Union, where he was protecting rights of disabled people and workers. [...] To sum up, a vast part of the election program was devoted to rule of law, real division of powers, establishment of democratic institutions and evolutionary peaceful modernization and non-violent development of Belarus. [...] This program was to attract a vast group of people, up to one third of total amount of voters that formerly either did not take part in the elections, or voted against all candidates: people that wanted stability and guarantees, yet at the same time modernization of the country and establishment of real democracy. [...] Michalevic became known only to the next day when a worker called the wife of politician and told that her husband was in the KGB prison.
