Maxim Samotoy hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Bumprom Gomel can pretend not to have heard.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Baranovichi is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Scoring charts1 Sep 2026
Nobody in the division bettered it last month: 5 goals in 5 appearances for Dnepr Mogilev.

Egor Karpitskiy is the division's player of the month — 7.89
A club's paper reports this as one of its own being honoured. On this page it is what it actually is: a verdict on everybody who played, and it went to a Dnepr Mogilev man on 7.89 with 6 goal contributions.

Alexey Dunaev is the month's best young player — 7.77
The award the rest of the division reads as a transfer rumour. 7.77 over the month and 3 goal contributions, from a Dnepr Mogilev player whose price has just gone up without anybody at his club doing anything.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Only the photograph left for Vitaliy Kibuk
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Vitaliy Kibuk will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Volna Pinsk the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Nobody made more than Matvey Kovruk this month
4 assists, 5.60, and a Uni-X Labs player who spent four weekends being the reason somebody else's name went in the paper. It is the least-rewarded skill in football and the easiest one to notice its absence.

Martin Artyukh is the division's best-marked player — 8.49
The chart that catches everybody a goal tally never will: the centre-half who was immense for four weekends, the holding midfielder nobody outside his own ground has heard of. 8.49 across 4 matches for Baranovichi.

3 goals in 4 appearances for Baranovichi leave him among the month's leading marksmen.

Pavel Seleznev up among the month's scorers
A productive month at Belshina — 4 goals from 5 appearances, and a place near the top of the charts.

3 in 4 for Dnepr Mogilev. Nobody outside his own ground is talking about him, which tends to be true of everybody on this list except the man at the top of it.

No place for Timur Pukhov in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Timur Pukhov has his answer from Baranovichi; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Still no offer on the table, and Kirill Kirilenko’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
