Announcement and cause of death

Polish online creator and political commentator Waldemar Krysiak died overnight on 4 October 2026 at the age of 36. His death was announced on the social media platform X by fellow internet creator Roman Warszawski, who described Krysiak as his closest friend. Warszawski subsequently stated in a discussion under his post that Krysiak died as a result of a sudden heart attack. At the time of the announcement, medical authorities and family members had not released an independent statement outlining the detailed circumstances. Funeral arrangements, including the specific date and location of the burial, remain pending and will be announced at a later time. Krysiak had published his final materials online just one day prior to his death.

Warszawski shared a personal message regarding the loss on social media.

“With great pain, I inform you that my closest friend Waldemar Krysiak, Myślozbir, died tonight. For thousands of people, Waldek was a voice they knew from the internet. For me, he was above all one of the closest people in my life, and right now it is very difficult for me to find words. Please share this news so that it reaches the people who knew, read, watched Waldek, and were connected with him through all these years.”

Public profile and online presence

Krysiak built a wide online following through social media platforms and commentary projects under the moniker Myślozbir. He was widely recognized as the author of the blog and project titled "Gej przeciwko światu" (Gay Against the World) and created video content on his YouTube channel, "Myślozbrodnia". His public output focused on social, political, and worldview issues, attracting a dedicated audience across various Polish online spaces. Before expanding his commentary work, Krysiak was also active in photography. Warszawski noted that he had maintained a personal friendship with Krysiak for at least seven years, beginning before the COVID-19 pandemic through Facebook community management and later through joint podcast recordings during the pandemic.

Media commentary and investigative reporting

Beyond independent social platforms, Krysiak regularly contributed columns to traditional and conservative press outlets. He collaborated with Tygodnik Solidarność and the news portal Tysol.pl, authoring written commentaries on domestic social developments. Polish television and radio broadcasters frequently invited him as a studio guest, leading to recurring appearances on Polskie Radio 24 and the television network wPolsce24. During his public work, Krysiak published an investigation into the illegal domestic trade of prescription-free hormonal drugs across the Polish internet. His reporting drew sharp reactions across social media, particularly among transgender activist groups.

Worldview and political stances

As an openly gay commentator who lived in Berlin for several years, Krysiak framed his analysis around direct observations of European activist movements. He voiced support for the legal regulation of same-sex civil partnerships in Poland while simultaneously criticizing progressive LGBT organizations. His commentary focused heavily on opposing gender reassignment surgeries and hormone treatments for minors, which he argued caused harm to adolescents. In the months before his death, Krysiak also adjusted his political focus regarding the domestic right wing. Starting in July 2026, he began publicly criticizing far-right factions associated with Confederation politician Grzegorz Braun.
