Political organisations are actively creating communication channels with supporters via social networks and competing successfully with traditional media. Political exiles continue to advocate for sanctions in response to security forces’ attempts to destroy human rights defenders’ organisational infrastructure, independent media, and trade unions.
Political organisations and leaders continue to strengthen their media presence by creating direct communication channels with supporters on social networks. The largest Youtube channels of politicians and organisations with more than 50,000 subscribers include Nash Dom TV [Our House TV] (130,000), UCP TV (106,000), Viktar Babaryka (93,100), Vadim Prokopiev (77,000), and Valery Tsepkala (55,000). Political exiles command the widest popularity due to the absence of self-censorship and a more robustly critical approach to the Lukashenka regime.
Happy New Year, Belarus!
The expiring year was the best one in the life of our Belarus! This year we convinced ourselves and convinced everyone that we can!
And next year we can say that we could!
In the expiring year, we got to know ourselves.
We used to walk around; we even recognized each other s faces, but it was the first time we felt like a family.
Now everyone knows at least a couple of dozens of people from one s courtyard, a hundred in the neighbourhood and thousands all over the country. According to the six degrees of separation, everybody knows everybody.
