The creators of the podcast "Lachowski i Pi膮tkowski o prawie mi臋dzynarodowym" [Lachowski and Pi膮tkowski on International Law] invited Dr Anton Saifullayeu, lecturer at the Centre for East European Studies at the University of Warsaw, Editor-in-Chief of , to talk about the characteristics of the Alexander Lukashenko's regime.
What did Lukashenka's unique phenomenon that allowed him to win elections for the past three decades consist in? What did 2020 change in this regard? What is characteristic of the peculiar relationship between Alyaksandr Lukashenka and Vladimir Putin and can we say that today Belarus is in fact a satellite state of the Russian Federation? What benefits does Lukashenko's regime derive from the migration crisis triggered in 2021 on the border with Poland and Lithuania? What is the pattern of repression and the situation of political prisoners in Belarus? Will Lukashenko ever be held criminally responsible for his actions, especially considering Lithuania's recent application to the International Criminal Court in The Hague indicating crimes against humanity committed by the Belarusian regime after 2020? Finally, what about the Belarusian political emigration led by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya?
