Ales Pushkin (né Aleksandr Nikolaevich Pushkin; Belarusian Алесь Пушкін) (b. August 6, 1965, village Bobr, Krupki District, Minsk Region, Belarus) is a Belarusian non-conformist painter, theater artist, performer, art curator, and political prisoner. He is a member of the Belarusian Union of Artists. On March 26, 2021, the General Prosecutor's Office of Belarus opened a criminal case against the artist for showing a portrait of anti-Soviet underground figure Yevgeny Zhikhar at an exhibition in the Grodno Center for Urban Life. The prosecutor's office saw this as a "rehabilitation of Nazism." Pushkin found out about the criminal case but did not cancel the flight from Ukraine, where he had an exhibition, and in the evening of the same day he returned home. At night, his workshop was searched. On March 29, Pushkin was fired from Belrestavratsia, where he worked. The next day he was arrested. More information...
