Revised Article:
Say goodbye to another fallen comrade, Olga Klaskovsky mourns the death of her brother, Sasha, at the tender age of 46. Initial reports suggest a possible heart-related issue, but an autopsy will provide the definitive answer.
Born on September 26, 1978, into a well-known Belarusian journalistic family - Alexander and Lyudmila Klaskovsky - Sasha started his career as a traffic police inspector in Minsk's Leninsky District's GАI in 1999. He parted ways with the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2005, holding the rank of lieutenant.
Sasha became a figure of contention when he was seen among protesters during the Square-2010 demonstrations, donning a police uniform. He was arrested from his residence that same night, suffered severe beating, and was detained in a KГB detention center on charges of three criminal offenses. He served his sentence of five years and was granted pardon, eventually being released from the Shklov colony on September 14, 2011.
Subsequently, Sasha left Belarus, residing in the USA after 2020. He was married and blessed with three children.
