Belarus
The Last European Dictatorship
«“This new edition brings Belarusian history up to the present day. With changes,
especially after 2014, this was increasingly needed.”—Stephen Hall, Eurasian Geography and Economics
“In this version, the most comprehensive analysis of post-1991 Belarus available today, the author has added a new introduction, two additional chapters (Chapters 13 and 14), a new conclusion, eight more photographs, an updated appendix of economic indicators and an enhanced index. These recent materials investigate Lukashenka’s political machinations in the decade since 2011.”—George O. Liber, Europe-Asia Studies
'Andrew Wilson's incisive and accurate judgment and the depth of his research make him a true expert. His ability to convey the complexities of the region's murky politics and tortured history is unparalleled.' - Edward Lucas, Central and Eastern Europe correspondent for The Economist
'Andrew Wilson has done all students of European politics a great service by making the history of Belarus comprehensible, and by showing how the future of Belarus might be different than its present.' - Timothy Snyder, author of Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin

A comprehensive and revelatory history of modern Belarus - from independence to 2020's contested election
In 2020 Belarus made headlines around the world when protests erupted in the aftermath of a fraught presidential election. Andrew Wilson explores both Belarus's complicated road to nationhood and its politics and economics since it gained independence in 1991. Two new chapters reveal the extent of Aliaksandr Lukashenka's grip on power, the growth of the opposition movement and the violent crackdown that followed the vote. Wilson also examines the prospects for Europe as a whole of either Lukashenka's downfall or his survival with Russian support.
