Sasha Filipenko (Russian: Саша Филипенко, Belarusian: Саша Філіпенка) is a Belarusian writer, journalist, and TV show host. His books were translated into more than 15 languages.[1] Plays, based on his works were staged in Berlin,[2] Kyiv,[3] Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Vilnius.[4] In 2021 PEN International declared Filipenko a victim of censorship.[5] He currently lives in Switzerland with his wife and son, since it is dangerous for him to come back to Belarus.[6] For openly opposing Alexander Lukashenko and supporting Maria Kalesnikava Filipenko can be prosecuted - official press (Sovetskaya Belorussiya – Belarus' Segodnya) mentions quotes of the Criminal Code (articles up to 12 years in prison) that can be applied to Filipenko.[7][8]
