Person:notes | Vadzim Gigin is one of the most vocal and influential members of the Belarusian state propaganda system. He systematically supports the Lukashenka regime and often presents his views on the state TV channels ONT and Belarus 1. Vadzim Gigin has supported and justified the repression of democratic opposition and civil society and of independent media, in particular after the presidential elections in Aug 2020. Vadzim Gigin spreads his propaganda narratives on a “nazi regime in Ukraine”, discrediting the West and justification of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Until Jun 2023, Vadzim Gigin was the head of the Belarusian society “Knowledge”, which is known as a state-sponsored non-governmental organisation promoting Lukashenka and his regime. Gigin’s contribution to the regime has been acknowledged by Lukashenka in Sep 2021 when Gigin received the medal “For Labor Merits”. Furthermore, he was appointed in Feb 2023 as member of the Commission to consider appeals of Belarusian citizens abroad concerning offences committed by them, headed by Prosecutor General of Belarus Andrei Shved. Therefore, Vadzim Gigin is benefiting from and supporting the Lukashenka regime. | ch_seco_sanctions | ch-seco-65324 | ||||
