Debate over current issues in Belarus
We invite you to a debate on current events in Belarus. What are the social effects of repression? How to understand Alexander Lukashenko's strategy in this crisis period? We will also be asking our guests about this.
Where does pathology come from in peaceful Belarusian society in the form of unprecedented levels of armed forces violence?
Why and how does Alexander Lukashenko use the alleged threat of war to maintain his position of power?
How do the current protests relate to the question of Belarusian national identity?
What role do women, workers or pensioners play in the current Belarusian crisis?
