ONT presenter, who became famous for a meme about a wasp in the frame, told what happened after that video
Presenter Ihar Ulanau (Dzmitryieu) spoke about himself in the YouTube show "O(b)suzhdaem".

In 2011, ONT channel journalist Ihar Ulanau (at that time he worked as a special correspondent for Latvia and Great Britain) was reporting from Riga when an incident occurred — a wasp flew into the frame. The presenter reacted emotionally:
«What the f*** is this? There's a wasp in the camera. F***, shoo it away, it's getting into the lens.»
He later posted that video on his social media. But the channel's management did not appreciate the joke.
«Literally a couple of days later, one of the channel's directors called me in a rage: "Ihar, who set you up like this, what's going on?" And I said: "What's happening?" He said: "Well, this video with the wasp." I said: "But it's just a joke." "Some f***ing joke." I honestly wasn't tracking that meme. It turned out that this wasp was already edited into a police cap, stuck to Lukashenka, and I was shooing Lukashenka away to hell," the presenter recounted.
The ONT management panicked, and Ihar, a native of Latvia, genuinely didn't understand them — he initially hoped he would be given a bonus for popularizing the channel.
As a result, to keep his job, the presenter deleted the video.

Interestingly, in Latvia, some people recognized him precisely from that video with the wasp.
Now Ihar is studying art at the London College of Contemporary Arts and collaborates with Azerbaijani television.
