Editor-in-Chief of the Regional Newspaper.

"Regionalnaya Gazeta" is an independent publication covering events in four districts of the Minsk region (Molodechno, Vileika, Myadel and Volozhin) and three districts of the Grodno region (Smorgon, Oshmyany, Ostrovets).

In 2022, the site's materials were deemed "extremist materials." Law enforcement officials say the man will be tried for the texts he published.

On 23.01.2024, the appeal was heard and the verdict came into force.

On September 11, 2025, it became known that 52 prisoners of the Belarusian regime were forcibly transferred to the territory of Lithuania. Among them are citizens of European countries. Among those released is Alexander Mantsevich.
