“It is hard to imagine that we will no longer have such a caliber in the public space, not just a journalist, but also an intellectual, and there is not even anyone who can fill the gap,” Roland Barys, editor-in-chief of Verslo žinios, told BNS.
“But one of the positive things is that his work remains, his memories remain, and I think the most important thing is that during his long career as a journalist, he has grown up with the younger generation, who will continue to see the deeper world.” Barysas.
A.Katkevičius was born in 1962. He studied at Vilnius University.
He worked as an advisor to the Chairman of the Supreme-Restorer Council Seimas Vytautas Lndsbergis, a journalist, and had established a public relations agency.

A. Katkevičius spoke about his illness in an interview with Ignas Staškevičius. you will find this conversation by clicking here.
“It was very difficult when I announced the diagnosis. Going then is true death. You understand how Bulgakov wrote that man is deadly and deadly all of a sudden, at lightning speed. Well, sometime after the diagnosis, I started to be much more public than I was before I was sixteen, I was diagnosed and removed in 2016. It has been cut, but already in the third stage, which means that it has escaped a bit to other organs, and now it needs to be constantly repressed by chemistry in one form or another. When I hear that Squernel has cured blood cancer, I say that oncology is not cured. Because the POLA commander Šarūnas also says: “I have been in recession for twelve years.” In that sense, you can keep it in a cage, but you will never run away from it, “said A. Katkevičius at the time.
