Alexander Gapankov talks about Sergei Tikhanovsky

Sergey Tikhanovsky became one of the triggers of the Belarusian Revolution. The stream, which he has been leading since 2019, showed how Belarus under Lukashenko differs from the country in which we would like to live. Today we will tell you about Alexander Gapankov. He became the hero of one of the streams of Sergey Tikhanovsky. Sergey inspired Alexander not to give up but to fight for a better Belarus.

How did you meet Sergey?

I was advised back then, a small but interesting YouTube channel, "Country for Life." I looked and liked it. I wrote to Sergei, later met, and began to communicate constantly.

This is his life, soul, another child.

What's the funniest joint incident?

It was on January 29, 2020. I came to the regional court of Gomel to support Sergey during the appeal. After the trial, we went to his studio. I offered to go to Dobrush, he refused for a long time, saying that there was a lot of work and what to do there. I said: “Let's go. We’ll lose a maximum of an hour, and what difference does it make to you if I drive you in my car.” Go. As a result, it turned out to shoot the hit of the channel about Figa Fedorovna.
