A Fairy Tale by Siarhei Tsikhanouski Appeared on the YouTube Channel of the Academy of Public Administration
So far, not many views, but the fact itself is significant.
It was posted six days ago, probably the day after Siarhei presented his new YouTube channel. So far, the fairy tale on the Academy of Public Administration's website has few views — 395.
On Tsikhanouski's YouTube channel, it was viewed by 11 thousand people.
Last Saturday, Siarhei Tsikhanouski presented his channel, referencing Alexander Blok's famous early 20th-century poem "Night, Street, Lamplight, Pharmacy."
He says that while still in prison in 2023, he decided to create a channel for his poems. "Poems are a mirror of the soul; I invite everyone to look into my soul," urged the ex-political prisoner.
That's when he posted "A New Belarusian Fairy Tale," written in 2023.
In the video, Tsikhanouski walks through the forest. Perhaps these are the surroundings of Los Angeles, where Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's husband now lives.
"Once upon a time, in some kingdom, in the 375th state, there lived a magical little people, similar to others, but deformed. And the deformity was that they were deprived of freedom," the ex-political prisoner begins his story.
