May his memory live on.

Following a serious illness, Charter97.org journalist Konstantin Ivanov has passed away. He was 40 years old.

In the 2000s, Konstantin was one of the most prominent activists in the “Zubr” movement and the “European Belarus” civic campaign in Vitebsk. He was repeatedly detained by security forces during protests.

After the 2010 presidential “elections,” he moved to Poland and worked as a journalist for the website Charter97.org.

Kostya was a kind and caring person, always ready to help; he knew how to enjoy life and loved Belarus dearly. We have lost not just a colleague, but a friend. We will always miss him.
We extend our sincere condolences to Konstantin’s family and loved ones.
