Pavel Sheremet, a 1998 winner of CPJ’s
International Press Freedom Award, was a
Belarusian-born, Russian citizen who was
killed by a car bomb in 2016 in Ukraine,
where he reported and hosted a radio show
commenting on criminal gang activity and
on police and government corruption. The
year before he was murdered, Sheremet’s
friends told journalists that he believed he
was being followed in Kyiv, and he told
Reuters in 2015 that he felt unsafe when
visiting Moscow. Five suspects were named
in 2019, and both Russia’s Federal Security
Service and Belarus’ KGB have been
blamed for the bombing. But no one has
faced trial for Sheremet’s murder.
