journalist for Belsat. He worked for the newspaper Belorusy i Rynok, the Belarusian service of Radio Svaboda, and was published in Russian and Ukrainian publications. Together with his wife, journalist Ekaterina Andreyeva (who is currently in prison), he wrote the book Belorussky Donbass, a documentary study about the role of Belarusian citizens in the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

Igor was detained on July 16 during mass searches of independent journalists in Minsk and other cities of Belarus. Later, it became known that Igor was detained as part of a criminal case for 10 days.

On October 22, 2024, pro-government Telegram channels published Igor's photo. However, no details of what happened were given. The photo shows Ilyash in handcuffs.

A few days before his arrest, Igor commented on the meetings between the leaders of Belarus and Russia, Alexander Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin, to Dozhd, noting that "Putin has taken a course toward a sharp escalation - he is leading the country to such a total war." He also said that Lukashenko "most likely does not want to directly participate in the war against Ukraine, but the Kremlin's pressure is becoming stronger." In his opinion, the Kremlin will also demand that Lukashenko recognize the new Ukrainian territories annexed by Russia in the near future.
