Raman Blizneu, "Vitebsk Region Person of the Year-2021" and former general director of OJSC "Polotsk-Steklovolokno", died in custody. He was 47 years old.
His death was confirmed by several sources to the channel "Vitebsk, I'm Walking".
Blizneu was detained in late 2022. He was later tried for receiving a bribe (Art. 430 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus).
The circumstances of his death are unknown. One channel source claims that the trial was ongoing, during which former subordinates began accusing Blizneu of several episodes of corruption — after which the man's heart allegedly stopped.
Raman Blizneu was buried this Friday, December 12, 2025.
