Gennady Shulman

Gennady Shulman is a Belarusian producer and director of the 'Klass-Klub DK' production center, known for his significant contributions to the concert and touring industry in Belarus. He gained notoriety after being arrested in 2009 for fraud, leading to a six-year prison sentence. His business faced severe scrutiny from authorities, particularly due to his connections with criminal figures, which he claims put him under constant pressure from law enforcement. While in prison, he had a notable encounter with politician Nikolai Statkevich, who narrowly escaped a violent incident that could have led to his death. Shulman offered assistance to Statkevich during this time, highlighting the tense atmosphere and the dangers faced by political prisoners.
