Extremist resources continue to spread unreliable information, trying to mislead citizens. Another example recently appeared on TikTok: a video with the loud headline “The Collapse of the Legendary Borisovdrev” talks about the alleged bankruptcy of a large industrial enterprise in the district. An AI-generated voice reports that the enterprise has been “officially” declared bankrupt, its property has been put up for auction, and hundreds of workers have allegedly been left without jobs.

And yet, behind the loud claims, the authors provide not a single confirmation. Instead of facts, the viewer is offered an emotional presentation and the word “officially,” which in itself does not make the message reliable.

However, it is enough simply to come to the enterprise to understand: the picture the authors of the video are trying to paint, to put it mildly, does not match reality. OJSC Borisovdrev does not at all look like a place that is about to disappear from the industrial map of the district. In the production workshops, there is the usual working noise, employees are busy with their tasks, and products are being produced. It turns out a rather curious picture: on TikTok, the enterprise has already been “bankrupted,” its property virtually sent to auction, and hundreds of workers “left without jobs.” But reality did not at all coincide with the scenario invented for social networks.

To verify the information being spread on social networks and leave no room for speculation, journalists turned directly to the management of the enterprise. General Director of OJSC Borisovdrev Pavel Stankevich confidently stated: the information in the video has nothing to do with the real state of affairs.

– I want to emphasize unequivocally: all production workshops of the enterprise are operating normally. Production is not closing, the enterprise’s property and equipment are not being put up for sale, and there are no mass layoffs or dismissals of workers, – notes Pavel Stankevich. – Today, more than 500 people work at the enterprise, and the entire team continues to carry out its production tasks. Information about the closure of production or mass staff reductions does not correspond to reality.

Moreover, according to the general director, the enterprise is showing positive dynamics in its key production indicators. For instance, compared to last year, the production growth rate is 134%, with the majority of output being exported. The ratio of labor productivity growth to wage growth is 1.24.

“Today we continue to work, develop production, and accomplish the tasks set before us. Therefore, I want to emphasize once again: the enterprise is operating, the team is working in full force, and the information being spread about plant closures and mass layoffs has no basis,” stressed Pavel Stankevich.

Today, OJSC Borisovdrev is a modern, multi-sector production facility. The enterprise specializes in the production of plywood, matches, and MDF and HDF fiberboards, and constantly implements advanced technologies and the best modern innovations.

The enterprise's products are in demand not only in Belarus but are also exported to 30 countries worldwide, and numerous certificates confirm their compliance with quality requirements. OJSC Borisovdrev is a diploma winner of the republican competition “Best Exporter of 2025” in the category “Woodworking and Furniture Production,” which only underscores its production successes.
