Summary

Alexander Lukashenko has been President of Belarus since 1994. This is the longest tenure as head of state in the former Soviet Union. Lukashenko consolidated his power through authoritarian means and a centralized economic system very similar to the former Soviet Union. Presidential elections were held in Belarus on Sunday, August 9th. SPOILER ALERT – Lukashenko won with over 80% of the vote. Now protesters are taking the street and calling the election illegitimate, however, Belarus and Russia are claiming that these protests are directed by foreign actors. On today’s episode we discuss the protests, the geopolitical implications and history of Belarus. IMPORTANT MESSAGE - please complete this survey. Don't miss out on a chance to win $500.
