flag Lukashenko marks 30 years in power amid repression, resistance, and enduring ties to Russia.

flag As of early 2026, Alexander Lukashenko remains in power in Belarus, marking 30 years of authoritarian rule characterized by suppression of dissent, control over media, and crackdowns on opposition. flag Despite international sanctions and criticism over human rights abuses, his regime maintains stability through state narratives, close ties with Russia, and digital surveillance. flag Cultural expression, including art, music, and independent media, continues as a form of resistance, with artists and activists using coded messages, digital tools, and underground networks to preserve historical memory and challenge state propaganda. flag While opposition remains fragmented and constrained, grassroots efforts and diaspora communities help sustain resistance, highlighting ongoing tension between state control and the desire for freedom.
