Belarus on Edge
Wednesday, August 26, 2020 — 3:00PM - 4:30PM Online Event
Sometimes called “Europe’s last dictatorship,” Belarus has seen massive and unprecedented street protests in the aftermath of its presidential election on August 9. Decrying fraud and harassment, protesters have called for fundamental change to Belarus’s political system, which has undergone little reform since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
In this discussion, Olga Onuch (University of Manchester), Maryia Rohava (University of Oslo) and Lucan Way (University of Toronto) discuss Belarus’s protests and its prospects for change.
Moderator: Seva Gunitsky (University of Toronto)
