A banner featuring Hleb has appeared in Minsk: at the site of his fatal accident in 2004.

According to inkorr.com: A new advertising banner dedicated to the Russian betting company has appeared in Minsk, featuring former Belarusian national football team player Alexander Hleb. This information was revealed by journalists citing the source 'Nasha Niva'.

The banner with Hleb has been installed at the intersection of Yakub Kolas and Surhanova streets.

Incident involving Alexander Hleb

The night of December 29, 2004, was tragic for Alexander Hleb due to a fatal car accident at the intersection of Surhanova and Yakub Kolas streets. His car collided with a BMW moving towards him. Hleb survived, but the BMW driver suffered a thigh injury, and one of the passengers died.

Despite everything, only two days after the accident, Hleb returned to the football field. It is worth noting that the last match of the Ukrainian national team ended in a 1:1 draw against Azerbaijan, and the next match is scheduled for October 10 against the Icelandic national team.

Thus, a promotional banner featuring Alexander Hleb, who survived a terrible accident in 2004, has been exhibited in Minsk, after which the footballer quickly returned to play.

This banner not only emphasizes Hleb’s popularity as an athlete but also adds a touch of relevance to his story, as he has become a symbol of recovery and spirit. Given that Hleb remains a recognizable figure in football, the advertisement has sparked mixed reactions in society, raising ethical questions regarding advertising related to tragic events.
