Yakauleuski: Sheremet Has Recently Written a Lot About the National Consciousness

Pavel Sheremet well understood the political situation in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.

Journalist and political commentator Raman Yakauleuski who worked with Pavel Sheremet in the Belorusskaya Delovaya Gazeta informed Radio Svaboda :

- When Palev was 22 years old - the mid-90s - he aired interesting and professional programme Prospect on the Belarusian TV. Then it was a phenomenon. There are no such programmes on TV. As well as such brilliant TV hosts. Right after every programme we exchanged views on pluses and minuses. I was surprised with his professionalism. Besides, he was not just a teacher, but an expert in the economy - a young, cheerful, talented man.

In 1995-96s Pavel Sheremet used to be a regular participant of the Business Topicalities on Radio 101.2. By the way, Paul had a good education in economics - he graduated from prestigious Belarusian State Economic University. He and his colleague Volha Karatkevich told about economy in simple words! Three weeks ago Volha passed away, now it has been the turn of Pavel.

Pavel Sheremet was a close friend of Boris Nemtsov. It is no coincidence that Sheremet took the lead at the farewell ceremony for Nemtsov at the Sakharov Center.

He was welcomed at Radio Svaboda, on Dozhd TV channel, he used to be a well-known journalist and media expert who well understood the situation in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.

Pavel has recently written a lot about the national consciousness. Just the other day the Belarusian partisan published his article "Ukrainian Lessons" , he told that he had recently bought a textbook of the Belarusian language.

I recall Lyudmila Stanislavauna, mother of Pavel Sheremet. When in the late 1990s, he and Dzmitry Zavadsky were in the Hrodna prison for the story about the Belarusian-Polish border, his mother said: "Lukashenka won't see me crying." I think that his family blessed him with firm character and adherence to principles.
