Belarus could finally be on the precipice of change.
After President Aleksander Lukashenko declared victory in last weekend’s election, touting 80 percent of the votes against opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Belarusians have taken to the streets en masse to peacefully protest and contest the sham results.
Unsurprisingly, the Belarusian dictator is harkening back to Soviet days painting citizens as unruly forces being propped up by foreign antagonists. Laughable.
