Last week, BELPOL found out that a former employee of the STV propaganda channel, Katsyaryna Zhylianina, has her own business in Warsaw.

As Anton Matolka told Nasha Niva, Zhylianina worked for STV until 2020. Then she moved to MIR TV. And besides, she cooperated with the pro-government telegram channel "Zholtyie Slivy", notorious for hate speech and extreme aggression.

In 2022, together with Maksim Zhylianin - probably her brother - she moved to Poland and bought the legal entity P66A. In 2023 they opened K&M2. They also have a beauty studio in one of Warsaw's districts.

A Euroradio correspondent went to the salon owned by Zhylianina and tried to find her there.

 

"She wouldn't answer any questions"

On the evening of December 4, the former STV employee was not at work in her salon. The administrator confirmed to the correspondent that Katsyaryna Zhylianina is indeed the director of the establishment.

She said that the owner was away at the moment and it was not known when she would return. At the same time, the employee refused to give the former propagandist's cell phone to our journalist, saying that she did not have the right to do so.

The next morning, another administrator did not give the journalist any information about Zhylianina.

"Why are you interested in Katsiaryna? She doesn't want to answer any questions. If she wants, she will contact you. I can't say anything without her permission," said the salon employee.
