Belarus

This book is the first in English to explore both Belarus` complicated road to nationhood and to examine in detail its politics and economics since 1991, the nation`s first year of true independence. Andrew Wilson focuses particular attention on Aliaksandr Lukashenka`s surprising longevity as president, despite human rights abuses and involvement in yet another rigged election in December 2010. Wilson looks at Belarusian history as a series of false starts in the medieval and pre-modern periods, and at the many rival versions of Belarusian identity, culminating with the Soviet Belarusian project and the establishment of Belarus` current borders during World War II. He also addresses Belarus` on-off relationship with Russia, its simultaneous attempts to play a game of balance in the
no-man`s-land between Russia and the West, and how, paradoxically, Belarus is at last becoming a true nation under the rule of Europe`s ”last dictator”.
