Political Observer
Zerkalo.io (media created by a team of ex-employees of Tut.by, destroyed by security forces)
Kiev
08.2021 - Current
- After the entire political department of the country's lead media Tut.by was destroyed and the editorial office moved abroad, I became the chief political observer of Zerkalo.io. This media was created by a former team of journalists from the biggest Belarusian media Tut.by. Due to political persecution, we were forced to leave Belarus.
- I am the only journalist of the media who does political and economic analytics and signs texts with personal name. Due to the political pursuit of the media in Belarus, the journalist's publicity threatens the freedom of them and their family (31 media workers are now in prison). I choose to be public, despite the risk, because I want to inspire the trust of the readers of the largest Belarusian independent media Zerkalo.io. In addition, I comment on political changes in the region that are related to the economy. I made this for other foreign media as a political observer.
- I also wrote analytical articles with the country's leading experts in the political and economic fields. The majority of my articles had more than 100 thousand views and became the most popular topic on the political and economical agenda of the country. Besides that, i make reports on important international events (such as the NATO summit).
- I wrote about the Ukrainian-Russian war from Ukraine when it started. Now I am continuing to cover the topic.
- I was working from Kiev, Ukraine from August 2021 till February 2022.
- In Berlin, Germany right now.
