In a January 2021 interview with Russian news portal Tribuna, Skinderis expressed support for the regime of Alexander Lukashenko and made controversial statements about the protest movement of 2020-2021, saying that "Belarusians have a slightly kolkhoz-like mentality and you have to treat them more harshly" and that "order needs to be preserved and no gay-parades should be started etc".[2] [3] His remarks were criticized by sports journalist Alexander Ivulin.[4]
