“I’ve been waiting for her for a month already. It’s a long time for a young man.”
Anton Surapin started looking for Kaciaryna Skurat right after he had been released from “Amerykanka” — the KGB remand prison.
The 20-year-old photographer and founder of the website Belarusian News Photos wants to make a declaration of love to the girl who was sent him the first photos of the teddy bears dropped by two Swedish pilots on Ivianiec, Belarus, on July 4.
However, Kaciaryna was also questioned by the KGB and she deleted her profiles from social networks and still don’t answer phone calls.
Thus, Anton Surapin had say “I love you” and ask to contact him via the reportage by Warsaw-based Belarusian satellite TV channel Belsat.
First, Anton did not reveal the identity of the person who had sent him the photos that became the first proof of the “bear bombing”. But now it has no sense, Anton says.
Anton met Kaciaryna Skurat, a girl who lives in Ivianiec — a town 50km west from Minsk — on social networks. However, soon they met in real life and fancied each other.
Anton says he even made a humorous proposal to her that day, but now he intends to do it seriously.
While Anton was held in the KGB remand prison, he was thinking about the girl and even sent her romantic letters, but there was no response.
