Lukashenko’s regime has become an ultimate pariah.
Unlike Yanukovich, Lukashenko is a full-scale dictator who doesn’t hesitate to imprison or kill people. He isn’t willing to give up his power to anyone.
Like Yanukovich’s case, the case of Lukashenko shows the ultimate failure of Russian policy in its key Slavic neighbor states. Our Russian colleagues shouldn’t be illusional about Kremlin’s long-term plan in Belarus.
There is no plan, as well as there wasn’t any plan in Ukraine. Kremlin, Putin and his cronies are not about plans, values and strategies, they are solely about money.
If there was some thought behind Russian policy in Belarus, Moscow would have someone to replace Lukashenko with. So, Kremlin either doesn’t have any plan, or Lukashenko totally outplayed Putin.
The story will either way end in Russia’s long-term cultural loss and failure. By totally supporting Lukashenko it is losing Belarusian people the same way it has lost Ukranians.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 230 points, or 0.7%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.3% and 2.2%, respectively. All three indexes began the day with gains before selling off. Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. Telegram was co-founded by Pavel and Nikolai Durov, the brothers who had previously created VKontakte. VK is Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, a social network used for public and private messaging, audio and video sharing as well as online gaming. In January, SimpleWeb reported that VK was Russia’s fourth most-visited website, after Yandex, YouTube and Google’s Russian-language homepage. In 2016, Forbes’ Michael Solomon described Pavel Durov (pictured, below) as the “Mark Zuckerberg of Russia.” The regulator said it had received information that messages containing stock tips and other investment advice with respect to selected listed companies are being widely circulated through websites and social media platforms such as Telegram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. Either way, Durov says that he withdrew his resignation but that he was ousted from his company anyway. Subsequently, control of the company was reportedly handed to oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Igor Sechin, both allegedly close associates of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
