Inside Belarus: Putin's Puppet Regime | Documentary
Ойын-сауық
They share a common ideology and vision of totalitarian power yet reportedly, Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko hate each other. As popular opposition in Belarus and the war in Ukraine force them closer and closer together, we examine the relationship between these two men. We also look back at Lukashenko’s rise to power and hear from some of the protestors brave enough to oppose him. Filmed undercover in Belarus in the weeks up to and just after the invasion of Ukraine.
From her exile in Lithuania, a mother recounts how the KGB came looking for her four-year-old son. When a video of Victor attending a protest was seen on social media, the KGB sent photos of him to every kindergarten in Minsk asking the teachers to identify him. They escaped in time but Victor’s father was arrested and imprisoned for attending the same protest. Also in prison is Daria’s husband, Igor, an independent journalist who ran an information channel on the internet. Although he never overtly criticised the regime, he was still given a 15 year prison sentence.
It was the grounding of a Ryan Air flight to arrest journalist Roman Protasevich that provoked stiff sanctions from Europe. In retaliation, Lukashenko lured tens of thousand of refugees from the Middle East and sent them towards Poland. When people started dying in the sub zero temperatures, he blamed Europe and went to play ice hockey with Vladimir Putin. It was a public sign of support from the Kremlin for a man they are bound to support.
Without Russia’s aid, the 2020 popular protests would probably have ended Lukashenko’s regime. In return, Lukashenko has not only allowed Russia to station troops in Belarus, a recently held referendum also links the consolidation of his power with military support for Russia. It enables Lukashenko to stay in power until 2035 and Belarus to host Russian nuclear weapons. The Kremlin knows that any replacement would likely be pro-Western. Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, Belarus’ President-in-Exile, has promised to cut the links with the Kremlin and denounced the invasion of Ukraine. From her base in Vilnius, she tells how she is trying to prevent her country becoming a Russian proxy and how opposition figures abroad are constantly targeted.
In Belarus, everyone knows they live under constant surveillance, ruled by a government that has lost its legitimacy and governs through force. The fear is that if Ukraine loses the war, its fate could be the same.

I am British, I have been to Minsk many times. If you start political agitation etc then yes you will get into trouble. Apart from that it is a totally normal city , as a tourist you won't be bothered. The Belarusian people are some of the kindest I have ever met. Minsk as well is a fantastic city to visit.

agreed, but there is a huge difference between countries like Belarus, Russia and China compared with the USA, France, the UK and the Netherlands in the consequences for the people that are "monitored" on the internet networks... in a country like the Netherlands you can criticise the government as much as you like/want without being snatched of the streets and locked up as "an enemy of the state" like it is happening in Belarus and countries like that. in the Netherlands you are going to be arrested if you promote terrorism and extreme hate speech towards people that oppose your way of thinking, which i am totally ok with. i can expres my political vieuws on the internet whenever i feel like it without having to fear that the (secret) police will be knocking on my door in a few hours, only when i incite violence they will come to make me stop doing that kind of shit...

I grew up in Kharkiv, Ukraine. My best friend in school had a Belarusian mother and a Ukrainian dad. Her parents got divorced and eventually in 2013 the mom took her to Belarus to live with the grandmother. My parents tried to talk them out of it because the writing was on the wall about lukashenko, but they didn't listen. We kept in touch over the years. She got a visit from the police in April 2022 for liking my posts on Instagram about the war and sending messages to me. We have agreed to speak in Telegram only in a chat that wipes out all messages every 24 hours. It's truly bizarre there. Correction for you: "the defender of the motherland" holiday is on February 23rd. Not 24th. So I have no idea why you made this connection to the invasion.

If you were more familiar with how things go in American and European academic circles, you'd be aware of the consequences people face when they voice an opinion that isn't politically correct. In England and the US, academics have been cast out for stating that a woman is a woman and not a man and that biology matters. In Finland someone got a criminal process for reading from a Bible ("inciting hatred"). In the Netherlands, Christian teachers get fired from "Christian" schools for being Christian. In short, you either haven't seen it yet (which would make you not the sharpest tool in the shed) or you know it's happening and are acting in bad faith, covering up and defending this system of backwards censorship.

What he went through? He literally went through nothing. No, this is not very well done, it’s a western propaganda film (“documentary”) filled with many untruths that creates its own spy story in a niche and very far from reality. There are many Americans and western Europeans expats living in Belarus, mainly in Minsk, and they love living there. Look for yourself and talk to them, ask them what they feel about living in Belarus. The same with Belarusians.

Well foreigners are required to check their passport’s in reception in every motel/hotel in Poland during 90’s . I don’t know if that practice is still required after 2002 and now in 2023. Since I came to United States in 2002 not long after 9/11 terrorist attack.
