The president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, is often been referred to as Europe's last dictator. But could this all be about to change? Earlier this month, Belarus held a presidential election which it was announced that Lukashenko, who has ruled the nation undemocratically since 1994, had once again won with a huge majority. From then until now, Belarusians have taken to the streets in their masses through protests, rallies and worker strikes, on an unprecedented scale, calling for Lukashenko's resignation.
In today's episode, I'm joined by Nelly Bekus, Associate Lecturer at the University of Exeter, Ihar Barysau, the Chair of the Belarus Social Democratic Party (Hramada), and Ido Vock, International Correspondent at the New Statesman, to get more of an insight into the situation.
