New Vice-Rector for Security Lasted Only Nine Months at Grodno State University
"The dismissal came as a surprise to him."

As Nasha Niva learned, Ihar Tsitsyankou has not been working at Grodno State University since August 10. He lasted less than a year in the position of Vice-Rector for Security and Personnel.
"The dismissal came as a surprise to him," comment informed sources.

The Vice-Rector for Security is an innovation of Lukashenka's regime, conceived after 2020. Security officials — sometimes former ones — who have no relation to education or science, get positions in university management to control personnel.
Similarly, Tsitsyankou — there is not a single scientific work of the "vice-rector" in the National Library catalog.
Before taking up the high position, Tsitsyankou was responsible for military-patriotic education of students at the humanities college attached to the university.
His duties at the university are temporarily performed by Vice-Rector for Ideological Work Vasil Syanko. Tsitsyankou himself was transferred to another job according to his profile. Where exactly is not yet known.
