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.
