It wasn\u2019t a convincing contest, and few believed that victory would go to anyone other than the man who had ruled the country for the past two decades. With an economy in tatters and a chilling charge list of human rights violations against his name, Alexander Lukashenko has long presided over Europe\u2019s closest equivalent to North Korea. That said, the president many accuse of being a dictator eschews a personality cult. There\u2019s little need, say his opponents; Lukashenko rules through fear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X2QERR5wyks?si=3ZzxI6kE7X6b3TYw\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Europe&#8217;s last dictatorship, Al Jazeera <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, time-warped Belarus provides a glimpse into what life was like before the collapse of the Soviet Union, where the secret police are still called the KGB, and the success of the economy is measured in tractor sales.
