Biography
Career
Dynko edited Nasha Niva since 1999 till 2017, he also taught in Minsk State Linguistic University in 1997–2000. He was one of the co-founders of Arche magazine in 1998–2004.
Under his leadership Nasha Niva became the most red web site in the Belarusian language. He began his work as a translator and publicist. He translated from French, Italian, English, Polish, and Ukrainian.
In 2018 Dynko became the chief editor of Nasha Historyja. Since 2019 he is also the chief editor of magazines for children in the Belarusian language Dudu and Asciarozhna: dzieci!
He got Hanno Ellenbogen Citizenship Award (2003), Oxfam-Novib Award (2006), «For Journalistic Courage and Professionalism» Award (2006), Lorenzo Natali Prize (2007).
During the 2006 protests, in opposition to the results of the 2006 Presidential Elections, Dynko spent ten days in a jail; his prison diaries were published thereafter and translated in a number of languages.[1]
Arrest
Following the nation-wide protests in Belarus after the 2020 presidential election that was denounced as rigged by the opposition and the West, the authorities started a crackdown campaign wiping all independent media in the country. ‘Nasha Niva’ covered the protests and was eventually banned as ‘extremist’ in November 2021, exactly on the 115th anniversary of its founding; its website was blocked in July.[2][3][4]
By 2021 Dynko was serving as chief editor of the ‘Nasha Historyja’ (Наша гісторыя), the Arche, and the «Асцярожна: дзеці!» magazines, also published by ‘Nasha Niva’.[5]
In July 2021 he was arrested together with three other Nasha Niva workers and declared suspected first under the article 342 of the Criminal Code of Belarus («Organisation or preparation of mass disturbances or participation in mass disturbances»). The accusation was not submitted. Instead the detention continued under suspect under the art. 216 part 2 of the Criminal Code of Belarus («Causing property damage without signs of theft»). Like other political prisoners, he stayed in Akrescina prison without any bedding and personal belongings in cells where light was never switched off.[6]
On July 12, 2021, by a joint statement of ten organizations, including the Human rights center "Viasna", the Belarusian Association of Journalists, the Belarusian Helsinki Committee, the Belarusian PEN Center, he was recognized as a political prisoner.[7][8]
He is married to Natallia Dynko and has three children: Jakub, Justyna, and Vasil.
