The only thing I know about Lukashenko is whatever was in John Oliver’s piece on him; so absolutely nothing. If y’all can help me out on that I’d be grateful.

Anyway, just saw this on twitter and thought it was very sus.

    Leader is better imo. Just too much negative connotation with “ruler”. Belarus isn’t some monarchy or something. It’s a modern capitalist economy with large state intervention. While it is capitalist, democracy is a spectrum, and Lukashenko definitely represents the people more than some puppet like Biden or Kamala Harris. He is like a socially conservative soc dem.
