Inside Belarus: Putin's Puppet Regime | Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2023
- They share a common ideology and vision of totalitarian power yet reportedly, Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko hate each other. As popular opposition in Belarus and the war in Ukraine force them closer and closer together, we examine the relationship between these two men. We also look back at Lukashenko’s rise to power and hear from some of the protestors brave enough to oppose him. Filmed undercover in Belarus in the weeks up to and just after the invasion of Ukraine.
From her exile in Lithuania, a mother recounts how the KGB came looking for her four-year-old son. When a video of Victor attending a protest was seen on social media, the KGB sent photos of him to every kindergarten in Minsk asking the teachers to identify him. They escaped in time but Victor’s father was arrested and imprisoned for attending the same protest. Also in prison is Daria’s husband, Igor, an independent journalist who ran an information channel on the internet. Although he never overtly criticised the regime, he was still given a 15 year prison sentence.
It was the grounding of a Ryan Air flight to arrest journalist Roman Protasevich that provoked stiff sanctions from Europe. In retaliation, Lukashenko lured tens of thousand of refugees from the Middle East and sent them towards Poland. When people started dying in the sub zero temperatures, he blamed Europe and went to play ice hockey with Vladimir Putin. It was a public sign of support from the Kremlin for a man they are bound to support.
Without Russia’s aid, the 2020 popular protests would probably have ended Lukashenko’s regime. In return, Lukashenko has not only allowed Russia to station troops in Belarus, a recently held referendum also links the consolidation of his power with military support for Russia. It enables Lukashenko to stay in power until 2035 and Belarus to host Russian nuclear weapons. The Kremlin knows that any replacement would likely be pro-Western. Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, Belarus’ President-in-Exile, has promised to cut the links with the Kremlin and denounced the invasion of Ukraine. From her base in Vilnius, she tells how she is trying to prevent her country becoming a Russian proxy and how opposition figures abroad are constantly targeted.
In Belarus, everyone knows they live under constant surveillance, ruled by a government that has lost its legitimacy and governs through force. The fear is that if Ukraine loses the war, its fate could be the same.

I like it when the guy in the nightclub says 'Holiday? Are you out of your f*cking mind? ' lol
I am British, I have been to Minsk many times. If you start political agitation etc then yes you will get into trouble. Apart from that it is a totally normal city , as a tourist you won't be bothered. The Belarusian people are some of the kindest I have ever met. Minsk as well is a fantastic city to visit.
This documentary was financed by the CIA etc...total propaganda
@@scottgleeson4905 they said " can we walk the capital as foreign tourists without being followed" .... it is the safest city I have visited in my life.
It's safe because the people are terrified to jaywalk because of the governments severe punishments and reputation.

Its hilarious that some guy with five or six different accounts is running around the comments section trying to tell everybody he moved to Belarus from America a couple months ago and its the absolute best place he has ever been. That Lukashenko is such a baller and that as long as you arent "looking for trouble" no one in Belarus ever gets into trouble there! Absolute genius this one is!

Documentaries like this one is a grim reminder that freedom and democracy are fragile and should never be taken for granted and be protected at all cost!
And yet, people here in the USA are all too eager to give up their rights for security. We see it all the time, from people who want certain speech criminalized to the ones who want private firearm ownership banned to the ones who think cops should be able to search or look anywhere at their discretion because “I have nothing to hide”.
Yes. The Left is surprisingly censor happy and questionable use of the judiciary as a political tool is on the rise.....

8:27 - "But it is impossible to know, if the network is monitored."
Not just in Belarus. Everywhere in the world.
agreed, but there is a huge difference between countries like Belarus, Russia and China compared with the USA, France, the UK and the Netherlands in the consequences for the people that are "monitored" on the internet networks...
in a country like the Netherlands you can criticise the government as much as you like/want without being snatched of the streets and locked up as "an enemy of the state" like it is happening in Belarus and countries like that. in the Netherlands you are going to be arrested if you promote terrorism and extreme hate speech towards people that oppose your way of thinking, which i am totally ok with. i can expres my political vieuws on the internet whenever i feel like it without having to fear that the (secret) police will be knocking on my door in a few hours, only when i incite violence they will come to make me stop doing that kind of shit...

It's the same with all authoritarians in the end.

She apparently wanted to speak openly. She agreed to not have her identity hidden.
I grew up in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
My best friend in school had a Belarusian mother and a Ukrainian dad. Her parents got divorced and eventually in 2013 the mom took her to Belarus to live with the grandmother.
My parents tried to talk them out of it because the writing was on the wall about lukashenko, but they didn't listen.
We kept in touch over the years.
She got a visit from the police in April 2022 for liking my posts on Instagram about the war and sending messages to me. We have agreed to speak in Telegram only in a chat that wipes out all messages every 24 hours.
It's truly bizarre there.
Correction for you: "the defender of the motherland" holiday is on February 23rd. Not 24th. So I have no idea why you made this connection to the invasion.

Socialism is entirely different. Usually linked with democratic forms of government…. learn the difference, it’s important. I realize that people sling these terms around very loosely, even in the titles of their countries but they really are totally different systems… most of Western Europe is Socialist.
@@Dikkeganzenclub you know that's not true, wappie
@@nobbynobbs8182 I know it IS true and if you don't than that's on you. If you were more familiar with how things go in American and European academic circles, you'd be aware of the consequences people face when they voice an opinion that isn't politically correct. In England and the US, academics have been cast out for stating that a woman is a woman and not a man and that biology matters. In Finland someone got a criminal process for reading from a Bible ("inciting hatred"). In the Netherlands, Christian teachers get fired from "Christian" schools for being Christian. In short, you either haven't seen it yet (which would make you not the sharpest tool in the shed) or you know it's happening and are acting in bad faith, covering up and defending this system of backwards censorship.
08:07 says that 'like in any police state the owner needs to take a picture of the passport' which is probably true in context of Belarus today, but never the less, taking picture of passports as a part of the check-in process, specially in private apartments are normal and common throughout European Union
Common in Thailand.
It's pretty fucking scary. It smacks of a totalitarian state.
Yes you're true. That's obligatory for the whole EU , for airbnb and hotels. Usually hotels collects their data before but airbnb are like freelance so they are obligated to do that and presented periodically. I'm from Spain and that's common here.

Because no one from those 74 countries is interested in travelling there

Lukashenka's head was firmly occupied with the idea that everything can be fixed by the most severe orders, tearing off skins, unscrewing heads, and similar to medieval practice. That's exactly what he says on state TV channels.

Interesting yet somewhat disturbing report. Overall, nicely done but I have real concerns about the health and welfare of Darla and her family. While I recognize her bravery for speaking out against the president and meeting with the journalists, I suspect this documentary made its way to the Belarusian KGB. I would really like to know what became of her.
I agree. It's risky to put local people in a film like this. I do like the documentary, but I feel like that might not have been the most ethical choice.
not nearly bad as north korea!
in north Korea they will just kill you!
They are working towards a cause greater than themselves
She made the choice at her own volition to participate. I just hope they made clear to her what risks might be involved.
Most likely it was a set up.
Господи, какие клоуны.

Lukashenko is a cruel tyrant, but it is the Belarusian police maintaining him with Russia as back up. Belarusian cruelty to their fellow countrymen 😢. Like East German border guards.
Lukashenko is not a bad guy. Western media makes him appear so evil. In actuality, he had kept Belarus in a state of economic prosperity. After the fall of the ussr he made sure Belarus didn’t spiral into extreme poverty like the rest of the eastern bloc. People should look up and read “the last soviet republic”. The color revolution in Belarus just like the one in ukraine was funded openly by the CIA with western corporate interests in mind

We have many political refugees from Belarus in our country.
We even have a TV program runned by the Belarusian opposition.
I think its called Biełsat.
The antennas are located near the border to give the Belarusians an opportunity to watch free worlds TV.
It's dangerous but many Belarusians watch it to confront their media with the free media from europe.
It's the same situation like West and East Germany during the cold war.
It's Belsat. Not a TV programm, but a whole separate TV channel within TVP network which broadcasts strictly in Belarusian. And that's a pretty reliable source, I've used to watch it since 2014 I believe.
Also comparison between West and East Germany actually fits here. Not sure if I ever heard it, but it's quite similar. It is one of the most protected yet one of the uncalmest borders in Europe. It even has a wall, thou this time it were built on the Western side.

If Belarus gets involved with boots on the ground in Ukraine, then NATO has no reason not to do the same
You're a nut
Nato has been doing a lot with no success and still there will be no defferent. Russia will continue humiliating them as always
Lol, u said the truth - “NATO has no reason” to do the same
Why would NATO respond if none of its member states are being attacked? Besides, Belarus is already involved by allowing the Russian military in their country on the Ukrainian border.
@@cun7us NATO is already involved by supplying an invaded country with mean to resist the occupying force. Unfortunately Russia is a lot bigger and powerful than the Ukraine and needs the help. If NATO leaves Russia to do what's it's doing and wins, what country is next? There will be another.
As far as NATO not physically being attacked ,the countries on Russias hit list surrounding Ukraine are NATO countries, moldovia, Hungary, Poland, Romaini, Slovakia. , Lithuania, Latvia. Anyone of these could be next.
One of Putin's ideas for attacking was to stop Ukraine from becoming a NATO Allie,where does it stop ? Back to cold war territories?
Belarus might have a problem 🤔 Poland 🇵🇱 might have something to say about it 😊
Poland is USA puppet. Zero power on their own
whats that saying: "power has the ability to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely
Nobody is allowed into the country but we posed as foreign tourist! 🙄
People put up the United States as being the leader of the free world, yet Belarus doesn't seem that different from my perspective. The US has more caged citizens per capita than any other in the world. I moved to New Hampshire to partake in peaceful activism (part of a migration to change government somewhere, so we can have a place that is actually free) and am part of the Free State Project migration. I'm in opposition to the use of violence by the state against peaceful people (anti-drug laws, anti-licensing, anti-copyright, pro free market, against taxation, etc).
The government including the feds have been arresting me (to a lesser degree) and my friends and throwing us in cages for over a decade now without much in the way if any genuine justification too. It's really not that different in the US, but you may not realize it until you become a nuisance to the powers that be. In a recent case they tried to claim some kind of fraud against six of my friends- even though there was no fraud committed by the accused and those accused followed the law and the advice of lawyers during their brazen daring to sell cryptocurrency. While the risk to activists overall is pretty low it's mostly because there are so many people who have moved and continue to move, but that hasn't stopped the feds from surveilling us for over a decade and trying to take out particular prominent activists. They've spent millions of dollars on just one recent 5 year investigation of six individuals for effectively selling cryptocurrency. Humorously the feds tried to claim that the KYC (know your customer) activities and calling customers (getting drivers licenses) was somehow evidence of law breaking. The evidence introduced actually showed these individuals did KYC more thoroughly than even the banks and the governments expert witness. The IRS agent even said that the church may not owe ANYTHING tax wise at one point. The judge at another point suggested that the prosecutor should charge the main guy with a sex crime even though the prosecutor said there was no evidence of a sex crime! With the implied point by the judge that they can just let the mob string an innocent man up from a tree. So.. no, the US isn't the free country you think it is- you just haven't been a threat to the state and thus no one has bothered you. That doesn't make you free. This is no different than someone in Belarus- in that- if you don't misbehave the dictator won't (for the most part) bother you either. And the humorous thing here is the complaint about taxes being high are true for Americans too! So the libertarians literally have one of the same major complaints that the Belarus folks in the documentary have.
In the Crypto6 case the FBI tried taking out a major activist Ian Freeman on 2 prior occasions prior to the 2021 FBI arrest. One was in 2012 via the arrest of a Free Talk Live co-host and fellow activist. The FBI arrested Rich Paul over small time weed dealing, but they don't care about that, they don't even do weed, that's the DEA and local cops, really local cops job. They had him arrested so that they could intimidate him into becoming an informant and wear a wire into the Keene activist center (as if we were doing something illegal, and no, no one ever was, it was protesting, organizing, etc). He refused and went to trial instead. He spent a year in a cage, but was threatened with 99+ years in a cage if he refused to become an informant.
In 2016 the FBI raided Free Talk Live two weeks after a co-host criticized the FBI for distributing child porn while also having said for decades distribution hurts children. It may, but then the FBI was hurting children. The feds reacted violently raiding the studio two weeks later under the guise that somehow the main man behind the show was involved in child sex crimes even though they lied to get the warrant (and got computers back, which is evidence no download of child porn occurred because they won't return something that is a crime to posses even if you aren't charged/convicted!), no arrests were made, and 7 years later they simply switched to an attack vector that would sound more plausible. What they thought was they could take out Free Talk Live by implying that the shows founder was a pedophile- effectively slandering his good name by fraud. From about 2016 to 2021 Ian and through the Shire Free Church (which was founded long before crypto sales) sold crypto for charity. Despite that selling crypto immediately following an FBI raid isn't something you do lightly. The Shire Free Church got lawyers involved and made sure to do everything by the book including something called KYC- or know your customer. During the trial the FBI's expert on KYC even admitted that the church did more KYC, aka called customers to reduce the risk of victims of third party scammers taking advantage, got drivers licenses, etc. The governments own victims (of third parties) who were witnesses in the case even stated that the banks who were a party involved in the purchase of crypto (they were used to send money to buy crypto) never called any of the victims and yet every witness testified that Ian Freeman and the church had called to verify that the purchaser knew what they were purchasing and wasn't being defrauded by a third party scammer.
The 2016 raid was clearly done to send a message and undermine the largest nationally syndicated libertarian radio show called Free Talk Live (it's on ~200 radio stations). Some of us libertarian activists in New Hampshire have been under survalance, have been followed, recorded, and targeted for over a decade now. You'd think we were some sort of violent white supremacist group or something (the enemy and feds have actually tried to claim that too both in speeches and in court despite there being no truth to it, but it looks good if they can make it sound like you are somehow connected to violent people, but in reality what actual libertarians believe (as opposed to people in politics, particularly at the national level which may or may not be actual libertarians) is more of a philosophy of pacifism and we advocate against the use of violence outside of self-defense including government violence, so if there is not a violent act you can't use violence to achieve your social, political, sexual, or financial goals, etc, yet that is what the government does and those involved every day, and what the democrats, greens, socialists, republicans, right-wing nut jobs, etc do, they think they can justify violence through their intended objectives which may be good, if not for the use of law to achieve them).
NBC actually released a documentary on the Free State Project recently. One of the 12 part series is an episode on the Crypto6 case above I described. See Ep 10 if you want the most interesting episode of the series. It's on the Crypto6, aka six folks were arrested for selling crypto, and is at nbcboston.com/freestate

I’ve been angry with Belarus for supporting and helping Putin with his Ukraine invasion BUT this video has shown me the people want their leader out of office more than even the Russians want Putin out.,.. I pray tht their leader iis taken out of power !
Да люди одинаковые, поверьте. Все хотят мира и дружить с соседями. Но есть политика...
Angry with Belarus, aren't we all
My unrealistic mind was waiting for someone to tackle putin in that hockey game 😂
I'm Belarusian, born and raised in Minsk city. One of the cleanest and safest places on earth. I haven't watched this documentary. The title speaks for itself, I don't want to lose my precious time on this piece of propaganda. Just for those who is really curious I'd like to say that our so called dictatorship is WAY better than your so called democracy. As for Russia, it's our neighbour, ally and more than that it's our MOTHERLAND the same as BelaRUS! Russians are our brothers! Live your lives and let us live ours!
Lol many Belarusian don’t agree whit you 😂
then don't invade other countries.
Planting puppet government's, organising coups , applying sanctions on countries that results in poverty and many more deaths than the rolling tank in ukrain is just as much an invasion .
Love from Serbija braco ❤
@@ernststavrosblofeld366 Скажи это Америке.
I was a student in Grodno Belarus and I would love to say that a lot of the bad things that have been said about Belarus are not actually true. the people are friendly, food is cheap compared to other EU countries, movement is free and not monitored as being speculated, the only minus is the leadership and in recent times there have been major modernization of the major cities like Minsk, Grodno, vitebsk, mogilev and others and the country is now more open to tourists than before.
What about that 4 yo kid?
@@lucastanga6732 brainwashed. Do you actually think he has a brain to interpret what he is saying lmao
I'm sure it's cheap for those in charge and much compared to other EU countries for sure but the common man I would like to see what the cost of living is that being said hail the father land lmao 🤣
Yes the west is always painting others as being evil, they should look at their own back yard.
🤡
Puppet or not puppet, its better than a situation in Ukraine, thanks to this regime😊
This is amazing

@@santanughanta5463 Yes really, they brought a lot of danger to national security, and to the people.
Because of people like them, screwed up countries like North Korea and Russia can better manipulate our people, and can more easily spy and breach security measures.
that's a clean and beautiful country. WOW.
Yes it is, among other great things. Visit Belarus and draw your own conclusions about this so called “documentary”.

21:31 they are really trying to tell me that a drunk Belarusian guy can speak English without the slightest accent and pretend to be a drama queen
Svetlana(T.) for Lithuanian people cost 35000 euro every month. Just incase if they forgot to mention.
It’s like watching a documentary about Venezuela. Opposite countries geographically, with no culture similarities except for one thing: Similar if not the same regime.
What are you talking about. Venezolean economy is 90% private. What's similar is that the opposition consists of irresponsible people and outright putchists. I mean, even the US have forgotten about their friend Guaido. Cichanovskaya accuses Lukashenko of running a self-proclaimed government but does pretty much the same in Vilnius. Her "government" consist of people she and her friends got into the "cabinet" Bankrolled by the EU. These clowns have literal cabinet meetings every single day, How idiotic.
you can easily destroy any country with global sanctions and embargoes, like poor victim Venezuela, which only fail is that it has crudes. Everything is about crudes. Are you blind not to see?
Yes....
Ну только что тут нет collectivos, которые убиваю несогласных, но тут своя политическая полиция которая отправляет в тюрьму людей на долгие сроки тюремного заключения😢
Wow, I love seeing people that are so obviously propagandized thinking they know what other countries are actually like, it's fascinating.
Nobody is "oppressing the Belarusian youth and forcing them to live in fear"
That is just one of the lies of this western propaganda film masked as a documentary.
Maybe you could produce a documentary "Inside Britain......Puppets of the United States"

Indeed amazing documentary . I traveled those Eastern Europe 1979 did face KGB only questions They ask me pass port . Look at my passport. Ok fine. No matter what part Eastern Europe you travel u are suspicious in the beginning
I also visited Belarus did not face any major issues . But minor local language
Thank you for this documentary. I pray and hope for the freedom of Belarus (and Russia) soon
Sadly this can only happen at the cost of the lives of their dictators and supporters. Those people are not easy to "get to" with the aim of removing them from power. A shift of power has to come naturally.

A puppet regime is Kiev which surfaced after the west's stage managed coup not Belarus.
Kyiv*, and also it wasnt a coup, it was a popular revolution
Stop sharing your schizo lunatic points of views, thanks.
@@air2091It was a coup backed by the CIA.
These white people use human rights for everything when it's about their interests. They are for ceasefire in ukraine but not in GAZA. Why?

Maybe you should’ve done video about EU as an American puppet!
Wow your really that thick how many times has EU gone against America so many times a puppet state is when one country decides the leader of another like Russia did with Belarus USA did no such thing in the EU we have a democracy ffs something anyone other then the west can understand
Great documentary, thank you
i am as mad as hell and are not going to take it any more !!
Balls of steel on the journalists!
Where can I find Brandon's Puppet Regime countries documentary?

Is all over the news begging for another 11k tanks.
You can't find something that doesn't exist in reality. It exists only in your schizoid brainwashed mind.

Some corrections/extra context:
8:10 - I don't think asking for document photos is a sign of a "police state"
9:20 - Yevroopt is not an upper middle class grocery store. I'm pretty sure most urban residents shop in stores like Yevroopt
11:40, 28:35 - Secret services won't follow or arrest you if you're not of interest to them
13:25 - It was the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic
14:04 - It's the Republic of Belarus, founded in 1991
17:00 - Seems like this was filmed in Lithuania, which wasn't mentioned
19:35 - He's talking about the 2020 election, not the previous ones
33:55 - Exactly, Putin cannot replace Lukashenko. So not really a puppet regime, just a weaker ally
40:22, 50:43 - Belarus usually jails its own citizens. Haven't heard of a Belarusian Brittney Griner. But you never know
Every country has the right to deverlop as it sees fit. Not in accordance with any other wealthy individuals, country or bloc of nations who think they have 'all the answers'. Let Belarus decide what's best, for itself. Especially if that's not best for anybody else. That being said, the West has too much invested to just let that happen. Anywhere.
Can you do one on Ukraine, USA's puppet regime?
uh oh someone is upset that Ukraine rejected Russia? 🥺 Here, here dont cry

A Tyrant's power is your complacency. When you act, you take their power from them. Unfortunately history shows us that freedom has always come at a cost, you must be willing to become a martyr, for your blood will further feul the fire of rebellion.
Fuck becoming a martyr! You can fight against a tyrant without killing yourself in the process.

Sadly it’s not.
The people all seem so nice and especially at the bar. This is sad to see that they are so afraid and they know they at root are free people but yet can't feel 101% of that freedom. It makes me feel good that human kind knows right from wrong and I really hope for the best interest of the Belarusian and Ukrainian people.
Nobody is free , even In America
I've met quite a few Belarussian people, and I've found them exceptionally kind and friendly. Which only makes the tragedy of their country even sadder :-(
