While Lukashenko sends the army to rescue the harvest afterhis
own mass mobilization of farm workers, authorities in Khabarovsk
expose "New Zealand spies," and an Estonian woman is sentenced to
three years in prison for trying to take seven bottles of wine to
Russia.

But the most intriguing questions arise in Lithuania.

Why are conscientious objectors, journalists, human
rightsdefenders, teachers, and trade union activists labeled
threats to national security simply because they might
theoretically be recruited one day? And why, at the same time,
does Andrei Shimanovich—the son-in-law of Viktar Sheiman, oneof
Alexander Lukashenko's closest and most notorious associates, and
one of the creators of the well-known spyware service
mSpy—continue to obtain and renew aLithuanian residence permit
without difficulty?

In the second episode of Morning Paranoia,
VolhaKarach takes an ironic look at the week's most absurd
stories and shows how genuine security threats are often
overshadowed by political theater and spy hysteria.

Written, produced, and hosted by Olga Karach.
