Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya: “It’s hard to accept that this is true. It feels as though this simply could not have happened. Sadly, on the night of December 21, journalist and host of Zhytstsio-Malina Mikita Melkaziorau passed away.
Mikita had a rare gift – he knew how to give people the space to be themselves. His work became an important part of the Belarusian media landscape and will always remain so.
I express my sincere condolences to Mikita’s family and loved ones, his friends, colleagues, and everyone who cared for him. This is a great loss for Belarusians.
May his memory be eternal”.
