Alexander Ivulin is a Belarusian journalist, the author of the ChestnOK project and a player of the Krumkachy football club. He was detained on June 3, 2021, and on January 19 he was sentenced to two years in prison.
Recall that earlier Shkurin refused to play in the national team of Belarus as long as Lukashenka's regime is in effect. He was ordered to return to his homeland.
