Sasha Filipenko
Sasha Filipenko is a Belarusian writer known for his incisive critiques of the political situations in Belarus and Russia. His works include novels such as 'Former Son', 'Kremulyator', and 'Return to the Ostrog'. Filipenko has a background in independent journalism, having lived in Russia from 2004 to 2020, where he actively engaged in media that opposed state narratives. His recent play, 'Tikhari', premiered in Vilnius in 2023 and explores a dystopian future in Belarus. As a vocal critic of authoritarianism, he has faced personal repercussions, including his father's arrest for political dissent. In April 2024, he is set to release his new book 'Elephant', which examines how people often overlook significant truths in their lives.
