Sergei Tikhanovsky
Sergei Tikhanovsky is a Belarusian opposition figure and prominent political activist known for his efforts to challenge the regime of President Alexander Lukashenko. He initially gained attention through his popular YouTube channel, 'Strana dlya zhizni' (Country for Life), which he created in 2019 to expose government corruption and advocate for democratic reforms. Tikhanovsky intended to run for president in the 2020 elections, but faced arrest and was barred from participating. His wife, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, subsequently took his place as the opposition candidate. Following the disputed elections and widespread protests against alleged electoral fraud, Tikhanovsky was sentenced to 18 years in prison for organizing mass unrest and other charges. In a recent development, he was released from prison, aided by diplomatic efforts from U.S. officials.
