Viasna since

Studied at Polotsk State University. It is also known that he is a musician and played in some bands.

In 2022, after the war began, Artem went abroad and fled to the Netherlands. But he didn't like something, and after a few months he decided to return to Belarus. In September 2022, the guy starred in a propaganda story by BT journalist Ksenia Lebedeva, where he talked about how bad it is to live in the Netherlands.

Apparently, Artem left for Russia after some time - his new VKontakte page is linked to a Russian number.

It is known that Artem left Belarus after the verdict.
