Teaser - PTO Extra! Is time up for Lukashenko? w/ Nelly Bekus

On Sunday Alexander Lukashenko, ruler of Belarus since 1994 claimed
a landslide victory in the country's presidential election with an
implausible 80% of the vote. Large protests broke out in the wake
of the announcement of the result. I spoke to Nelly Bekus about
Lukashenko's rise to power, how Belarus differs from other
post-Soviet states in its relationship to the Soviet era, and how
Covid19 and its economic impact helped spark the protests.
