On episode 43 of the show we are joined by Grigory Azarenok, a Belarusian television presenter and journalist. Grigory gained wide popularity during the protests in Belarus in 2020 with his speeches in support of the incumbent President of Belarus - Alexander Lukashenko. In 2021 he was added to the Ukrainian kill list ‘Myrotvorets’, in July same year Belorussian KGB announced an assassination attempt on his life was prevented. For his journalistic work he was awarded by the state with a medal “For Courage”. In 2022, Azarenok was sanctioned by the European Union for “counteracting democratic changes in Belarus”. His opponents call him a propagandist, yet among Grigory’s supporters his name is a synonym for sincerity, honor and dignity.
