Who gets Belarus after Lukashenko – family, the KGB, or Putin? | Eastern Express

Who could take power in Belarus after Alexander Lukashenko?

Jonasz Rewiński and his guest Kamil Kłysiński from the Centre for Eastern Studies examine the officials, security chiefs, and family interests sustaining the Lukashenko regime.

Recent research maps connections inside the leadership, while succession analysis questions the assumption that one of his sons will inherit the presidency.

We explain the constitutional fallback, Moscow’s potential influence and why contacts with Washington do not establish political liberalization. What would allow the system Lukashenko built to survive without him?
