Sergei Leonidovich Tikhanovsky (Russian: Серге́й Леони́дович Тихано́вский), also transliterated as Syarhey Leanidavich Tsikhanouski[3][a] (Belarusian: Сярге́й Леані́давіч Ціхано́ўскі; born 18 August 1978), is a Belarusian YouTuber, video blogger,[3] dissident and pro-democracy activist.[3] He is considered by Amnesty International to be a prisoner of conscience.[4] He is known primarily for his activism against the government of Belarus's long-serving president, Alexander Lukashenko.[3] In May 2020, he announced his intention of running for the 2020 presidential election, but he was arrested two days after the announcement,[5] and his wife Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya then ran in place of him as the main rival to Lukashenko in the contested election.
