He grew up in Argentina, and studied philology in Universidad de Morón in Buenos Aires (1951-1956), and that's where he started his writing career. He became a friend of Pablo Neruda. In 1955, he became editor in chief of the newspaper 'Mi Pueblo'. In 1956, influenced by the Soviet propaganda, his father decided to return to Belarus (BSSR then), taking the whole family. At first, Carlos worked there in a factory; then as a translator and librarian (chief of the publishing operations of the Jakub Kolas library of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus), and from 1980 onwards, devoting himself exclusively to literary work. He has translated into Spanish the work of several leading Belarusian prose writers and poets (such as Jakub Kolas Janka Kupala, Ryhor Baradulin, Vasil Bykau) and into Belarusian and Russian the works of Garcia Lorca, Pablo Neruda, and many others, while continuing to write his own poetry in Spanish. In the late 1980s, he launched a campaign to establish a Belarusian Centre of the International PEN organization, and, once it was established, served as its vice-president until 2002 or 2003, when he was forced to retire due to ill health.
