View submission: Whats Happening in Belarus?
Everything is silent, because of the war. Similar situation was during 2015 elections, but it is so much more serious this time around. Belarusian primary fear is being dragged into a war, and as long as Lukashenko keeps Belarus out of it directly, he will be tolerated even by those who protested during 2020. Most radical ones left the country or are in prisons. The socio-economic basis of 2020 resistance of the new middle class was destroyed by Western sanctions and IT people left to Poland.
