I am interested in learning of his policies, what he said and did, state of the left movement in Belarus as well as position of the country on the world stage and in the eyes of the non-western countries.

    I think this is more complicated than a “enemy of my enemy is my friend” deal, Russia is finding an ally in Belarus because of their proximity to NATO. They don’t exactly hold all the same ideological lines. That, and Russia isn’t exactly fighting Nazism first, they’re just fighting NATO encroachment and justifying it with the convenient fact that there happen to be Nazis in Ukraine to make the war sound good domestically and to make NATO look bad. Russia is just playing the self-preservation game like any other Capitalist country does.

    Besides if they were actually against Nazism in every instance, they wouldn’t be buddy buddy with Belarus.
