He competed for clubs from Vitebsk and Minsk and so the MADMen consider him Belarussian. Ukrainian language Wikipedia calls him Ukrainian, while Belarussian sticks with Belarussian. Russian language Wikipedia relates that while the Belarussian Athletics federation lists his 20-km time as the Belarussian record, the IAAF does not recognise this. I shall class him as Ukrainian.
His place of death is never mentioned.
