About this listen

Alexander Lukashenko, Europe's last dictator, has ruled Belarus for 28 years. Very much an old-school tyrant, he exhibits the standard authoritarian hallmarks of military caps, rigged elections, human rights abuses and a bushy moustache. His opponents refer to him as the Monster Cockroach and, as this episode reveals, the Russian fable from which the nickname comes may yet hold the key to his demise.

Presented by Fraser Allen & Malcolm Triggs, with Belarusian guest commentator 'Volha'.
