About this listen

Veronika Tsepkalo Biography Flash is the podcast that takes you deep into one of the most remarkable and ongoing stories to emerge from modern Europe. Hosted by Marc Ellery on the Quiet Please Podcast Networks, this show traces the extraordinary life of Veronika Tsepkalo, a woman who went from IT manager and international business professional to Nobel Peace Prize nominee, democracy award winner, and one of the defining faces of Belarus's historic 2020 uprising against Alexander Lukashenko's authoritarian regime.

Born in Mogilev, Belarus in 1976, Veronika built a career spanning international relations, export management, and business development across multiple countries before history placed her at the center of a democratic revolution. When her husband Valery was barred from the 2020 presidential election and forced to flee, Veronika stepped forward, took charge of his campaign, and joined forces with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and Maria Kalesnikova in an alliance that inspired unprecedented protests across Belarus. The regime responded with crackdowns, exile, and criminal prosecutions. Valery was sentenced in absentia to seventeen years in prison. A separate case was opened against Veronika herself. She kept going.

Now living in exile in Poland, Veronika chairs the Belarus Women's Foundation, advocates for political prisoners, campaigns for international accountability, and continues to speak with the kind of directness that has always defined her. This podcast covers the full arc of her life, from her Soviet-era childhood and internationally focused education to her career, her role in the uprising, and everything that has followed, plus regular updates as her story continues to unfold.

If you want to understand what courage looks like when it comes without a cape, this is the show.
