Jan Ciechanowicz (Lithuanian: Ivanas Tichonovičius, Janas Ciechanowiczius, Janas Ciechanovičius; Russian: Иван Станиславович Тихонович; 2 July 1946 – 10 January 2022) was a Polish Lithuanian politician who was one of just several ethnic Polish members of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR (1989–1991).
Life and career
Ciechanowicz was born in Varniany, Byelorussian SSR, on 2 July 1946. He studied at the Pedagogical Institute of Foreign Languages in Minsk (1964–1970). He proceeded to earn a doctor's degree. He then worked as a teacher of German and English in Polish schools in the Lithuanian SSR.
In 1975 he became a docent at the University of Vilnius, later becoming the dean of the faculty of Polish at the Vilnius Pedagogical University (1988–1989). In 1988, Ciechanowicz was one of the founders of the Association of Poles in Lithuania. In 1989, he was elected to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. Ciechanowicz represented pro-Soviet positions,[1] supporting the continuation of the USSR. He was one of the supporters of the autonomy movement of the Poles of the Vilnius region (Polish National-Territorial Region), that had been part of Poland before being attached to Lithuania in 1939.
The self-proclaimed Polish National-Territorial Region
In 1994, Ciechanowicz moved to Poland, where he taught German and English at institutions of higher education. He died on 10 January 2022, at the age of 75.[2]
