Another 'Person of the Year of Vitebsk Region', deputy of Vitebsk Regional Council Dzmitry Kaliaga, has been detained
Dzmitry Kaliaga, director of Dokshytsy Housing and Communal Services and an experienced member of election commissions, is suspected of receiving a bribe.

Dzmitry Kaliaga is 50 years old. Born in Nestsyarouka village, Dokshytsy district, he built his career in his small homeland, heading the housing and communal services since at least 2015. "Dokshytsy-Kamunalnik" is the largest communal enterprise in the district with over 500 employees.
In parallel with his economic activities, Kaliaga built a career in the political vertical.
In 2018, he was elected to the Dokshytsy District Council as a non-party member. In his candidate declaration, he declared an income of almost 39.4 thousand rubles for 2016, an apartment, and two land plots in Dokshytsy.
In the 2020 presidential elections and the 2022 referendum, Kaliaga was the deputy chairman of the Dokshytsy District Commission.
Over time, he joined "Belaya Rus" and became deputy chairman of the party's district branch. In 2024, as a party member, he was elected to the Vitebsk Regional Council for Dokshytsy District No. 22.
In addition, he is a laureate of the title "Person of the Year of Vitebsk Region" for 2018.
One might have expected Kaliaga to finally be promoted in the economic vertical as well, but this is now unlikely to happen.
According to "Nasha Niva", Dzmitry Kaliaga was detained at the end of October on suspicion of receiving a bribe.
This is far from the first persecution of people awarded the "Person of the Year of Vitebsk Region" title.
