Alexander Evdakha is a book distributor who runs the website KNIHI.BY, which is currently unavailable.

On March 3, 2026, a coalition of print publishers, including the Kamunikat.org Foundation, Lohvinau Publishing House, and Andrei Yanushkevich Publishing, was added to the Ministry of Internal Affairs' updated list of "extremist groups." The list mentions Yaroslav Ivanyuk, Dmitry Kolos, Igor Logvinov, Vaclav Bogdanovich, Andrei Yanushkevich, and Alexander Yevdakha in connection with this group. The publishers' websites and social media accounts were also added.

This is not the first time Yevdakha has been subjected to repression by the regime. In 2017, he was implicated in the "White Legion" case and spent over three months in pretrial detention. The case fell apart before reaching trial. Previously, in 2012, he was sentenced to a year of house arrest for illegally selling books. In 2021, he was taken in for questioning.

Released in March 2026.
