Sergey and Svetlana Takhnovsky are the main opposition politicians in Belarus. The protests of 2020 started with him, but he found himself in the shadow of his wife, whom he himself brought into politics. Now he is her most vocal critic.

"I've never met a purer person than Svetlana, I don't deserve her little finger," said Sergey Takhnovsky in 2025. "Now it will hurt you even more, Svetlana Georgievna," he says in 2026.

These two sentences deal with his wife, the leader of the Belarusian Democratic Forces, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya; The interval between them is less than a year and a half. During this period, Sergey tried to regain influence in Belarusian opposition politics, where Svetlana and his office now play a central role. So far unsuccessful: only his streams criticizing his wife cause the greatest resonance.
