On May 23, the Belarusian Center for New Ideas presented an online study entitled “In Lukashenka's Shadow: The Belarusian Ruling Class in the Early Stages of Power Transition.” The document analyzes the current state elite in Belarus and its views, as well as the roles that individual groups could assume if Alyaksandr Lukashenka were to leave power.
