Ilya joined the Belarusian Wikipedia 17 years ago, in May 2008, and during that time, he created over 6,700 articles and refined tens of thousands more. But his most significant contribution was to visual content: thanks to him, tens of thousands of historical images and documents, including very rare ones, appeared in the free encyclopedia.

It was Kazimir Lyakhnovich who, virtually single-handedly, wrote articles about the national symbols of Belarus, the symbols of the Lukashenko regime, the referendums, and the separate presidential elections during this period.

For many years, Kazimier Lachnovič remained anonymous, and even his fellow Wikipedians weren't sure who was behind the nickname. But that didn't save him from criminal prosecution.
