In this video, we ventured into the bustling streets of Minsk, Belarus, to uncover the secrets of this enigmatic city. While we explored some of Minsk’s most iconic landmarks, we also delved into its more controversial aspects, including the presidential palace and the sites that witnessed the protests and violence that erupted following the 2020 presidential election.

The 2020 Mass Protests in Belarus
The presidential election in Belarus was held on August 9, 2020. Incumbent Alexander Lukashenko claimed victory with 80% of the vote, while opposition candidate Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya officially received about 10%. The result was widely disputed, with allegations of electoral fraud and lack of transparency. Mass protests followed, and authorities responded with widespread arrests and reports of police violence. Tsikhanouskaya fled to Lithuania shortly after the election. Many countries and international bodies did not recognise the result as legitimate.
