Aliaksandr Alsheuski, the founder and long-time CEO of Yukon Advanced Optics Worldwide Group of Companies, who grew his business to become a world leader in the civilian thermal imaging optics market, passed away unexpectedly at age 61.
The Vilnius University Foundation also knew Alsheuski as an inspiring philanthropist who actively supported Lithuanian education and science, socially sensitive organisations and Ukrainian refugees.
