2011 - Boris Korkmazov

ICORN
01/01/2011 - 31/12/2013

Novelist and short story writer Boris Korkmazov (1958) from the Cherkessia-Karkachay region arrived in Brussels at the start of 2011.

He and his wife were living in the apartment made available by the City of Brussels. He made a number of public statements critical of Russian policies, which led him to suffer attacks in his native land and in Moscow.

Thanks to the ICORN-partnership between the City of Brussels, Passa Porta and VUB (Free University of Brussels), he found shelter in Brussels from 2011 to 2013.
