Book synopsis

Who is Mr Lukashenka? Do Belarusians support him out of fear and/or because they are blinkered, or there are other factors that help to explain his longevity as a national leader? The book seeks answers to these questions on the premise that Lukashenka's rule ought to be viewed in the context to which it truly belongs, that is, the context of Belarusian history and identity, not as a form of government (dictatorship) deceitfully imposed on an allegedly benighted people whom better positioned and informed outsiders seek to enlighten and liberate. The author makes use of two extensive personal interviews with President Lukashenka. They present a truly unique body of primary data. Many personal traits of Belarus's president are on full display in the interviews. Anybody willing to come up with his/her opinion about Lukashenka, not necessarily in line with that of the author of this book, can use this material.
