How US And UK Information-Warfare Fronts Ignited Anti-Government Protests In BelarusThe at-times fiery protests that raged across Belarus throughout 2020 had largely fizzled out by the time local activist and seeming neo-Nazi Roman Protasevich was dramatically arrested in May this year. Now, the country has been catapulted back to the top of the mainstream news agenda, with new life breathed into controversial self-appointed President Svetlana Tikhanovskaya’s hitherto unheeded calls for Western leaders to recognize her as the legitimate Belarusian leader. True to form though, not a single outlet has deigned to mention that for many years prior to the unrest’s eru... read more
