Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 challenged much of the common Western understanding of Russia. How can the world better understand Russia? What are the steps forward for Western policy? The Eurasia Center’s new “Russia Tomorrow” series seeks to reevaluate conceptions of Russia today and better prepare for its future tomorrow.
On Thursday, November 13 at 1:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center hosts a live event launching its newest Russia Tomorrow report on how Russia subjugated Belarus into a Russian satellite without formally annexing the country.
“Minsk in Moscow’s grip: How Russia subjugated Belarus without annexation” by author Hanna Liubakova, nonresident fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, examines how the Lukashenka regime in Belarus moved from close relations with Russia to full-scale integration under the Kremlin.
Brian Whitmore, nonresident senior fellow at the Eurasia Center, moderates a virtual panel discussion on the process of Belarus’s absorption and how the United States and its allies can best counter Lukashenka’s deepening alignment with Russia.
