Kyky.org media suspended due to funding problems

Vik­tar Mal­isheus­ki explained that some jour­nal­ists will remain in the project and the Insta­gram and Tik­Tok pages will be updat­ed as usu­al. How­ev­er, the web­site is cur­rent­ly down.

KYKY co-own­er Sasha Ramana­va said that the team was reor­ga­niz­ing and plan­ning to work in a new for­mat.

Like most inde­pen­dent media, KYKY’s edi­to­r­i­al staff was forced to leave Belarus after the 2020 elec­tions.

KYKY’s co-founder, busi­ness­man Ali­ak­san­dr Vasilievich, was sen­tenced to three years in prison for tax eva­sion. After the tri­al, he was rec­og­nized as a polit­i­cal pris­on­er and left Belarus.

In recent months, sev­er­al Belaru­sian media out­lets have appealed to their read­ers for finan­cial sup­port.
