- In October of last year, Alexander Lukashenko swept to his fifth term as the Belarusian president, marking 22 years in power. Despite the elections being marred by allegations of fraud, the EU has this month lifted travel sanctions against Lukashenko's government, as a reward for good behavior - the elections passed without a repeat of 2010’s violent crackdown against opposition parties. But critics argue that the EU is making a dangerous endorsement of an autocratic regime that still employs the use of internet surveillance, censorship, and intimidation to exert control over its people and press.
VICE News meets the Belarusian journalists and bloggers struggling to tell the truth about Belarus in this post-soviet dictatorship.
In BLACKOUT, a series made possible by Jigsaw, VICE News takes viewers across the globe, from Pakistan to Belarus, to examine technology's role in the ongoing fight for free expression.

Is anyone else worried for the people they interviewed? Seriously, they revealed their full names and didn't even bother to blur out their faces; If those people weren't on the secret police's watchlist before, they definitely are now.
Two things here: 1 - the police know their names and faces, most of them. They work as independent (i.e. unlicensed) journalists, at illegal (i.e. any non-progoverment) rallies and they're the first ones to get the beating and fines. And of course the police keeps their records. 2 - I don't think the police here is smart enough to look through TH-cam videos in foreign languages, but as mentioned above they don't really need to
the thing about media exposure, - their faces and names are known outside of the country. it means that if something 'suddenly' happens to them - it's not a inner story, journalists could make stories with them as strugglers making a lot of exposure what is really happen and to what extreme
Genuine underground people wont even get near foreign journalists without a mask; these are public dissidents
Makes me wonder if its such a terrible place then why wouldnt they hide names!? Sounds like typical western media

No lol. You can be technically correct but you have to use your common sense as well!!
Sike. I lied!
I live in eastern Poland, where many Belarusians live, work or simply go shopping (tax free policy) and most of them are usually scared of answering when asked about their government. Even in Poland, where you are totally free to talk and do anything you want, they are still scared. That says something.
But they are really nice people.
Probaly because they actually have nothing against their government but doesn’t want to openly support it due to the fear of being demonized at least that’s what Chinese people do most still have positive views on the ccp but due to the media demonizing China most Chinese people tend to not want to openly talk about China

belorussians like ukrainians are genuine and grateful people. They deserve a a life with dignity and free of any opression
So are russians, and any other people of the world. Theres always going to be people that stand out and be unfair.
Bro... Says you, an outsider who has no real idea what's going on... It's easy to film miserable or poor people and then blame the system. But then you realize those people have been living like rats and parasites. Not studying, not working,... Just drinking, partying and telling everybody to F off. That's cool and all but just don't cry afterwards, you made your choice despite all the warnings and all the people trying to stop you. Do you have ANY idea how many Ukrainians are on vacation while their country is being invaded?? They are at beaches, resorts, hotels, drinking, partying,.... Not giving 1 flying F! And we in the West pooring them with millions (even billions!) of $$$ and guns... How stupid and dumb are we. In fact that's EXACTLY how they view us... Dumb and stupid. Yeah I would be "grateful" too.... But those things cost others to make! Like money, resources and vacations for example.
You think they are genuine... Seems like you never REALLY met one of them. It's easy to smile and say thank you... But that doesn't mean they are "genuine". That can also be how MF's steal from you! A life with dignity is not exactly a Right... It's also a choice! You think those people want to study, work and dedicate their lifes to the greater good?? Actually they don't! They just want to live out of others... Work, effort and money. THAT'S their mindset and system. You can't tell me that a drunk or a whore deserves dignity... They don't even have that for themselves!

Vice "They operate covertly"
Also vice " look at their faces lukashenko"
Showing their faces isn't necessarily what "covertly" means in this context, especially when they literally said in the video that they've been previously arrested. It's not like the government doesn't know who these people are.
I like how no one is afraid of their identity being revealed on this video.
Because it's not that bad as described in the video...
Yah, in america people will not give identity to the police just because they don't want to. Many places have zero respect for the police in america. Ghettos mainly.
It's similar to venezuela and other countries, they may not have a system thats expansive enough to identify people as quickly but they still punish those they do catch harshly

The givernment knows very well that they wont be holding them for much longer. Thats good news.
Gets recommended at the right time.
So Montenegro isn't a dictatorship?
Whatever you say.
Lol. He's been in power for 30 years but he is controlled
Longevity =/= Dictatorship
Merkel will be in power for 16 years. doesn’t mean it’s a dictatorship.

We suffer from the same problems here in Morocco
Respect from Morocco ❤
No we don’t
we suffer from jewish Moroccan fascists and thought police in israel
@@rayanbenaboud4483 Yes we do, don't deny it.
Morocco: the first country on Earth to recognize the United States as a nation state and its own sovereignty. Our oldest ally, next to France.
From this American: love you guys. And yeah, I know about your political situation. Nooot okay. Wish there was more i could do directly than sympathize and learn about your country. Atm, it is all i can do. Hell, too many Americans cant even place Morocco on a map..
If this comment is unwelcome simply because I am an American, I understand but I make no apologies. For me personally, I have a soft spot for Morocco.
Peace, love and long life to the people of Morocco and Belarus.
💜💜💜💯
Morocco isn't a European country

They could have blurred the old man and young boy’s face for the interview. They put them in danger. Idiots !
y'all used the same footage/thumbs as from the eritrea video....i guess vice doesn't know the difference between eastern europe and africa
What's the difference tho
@@seneccasyracuse4168 No difference
They're both shit
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic6379 untrue. Eastern europe is way better for living than other continents. And many eastern european countries are safer and less violent that western nations like UK and USA. I'm from Eastern Europe, Macedonia. Life isn't as bad as the media portrays it.
@@legendmk52 Macedonia is not like Belarus. It is an democracy and has rule of law. I mean, you don't have the homicide rates of Russia but that doesn't mean Eastern Europe is less violent than Western Europe. Ukraine has a civil war at their East. Still I like Eastern Europe, I travelled two E. European countries that I liked a lot. Still more slow and relaxed than my Turkey.
@@scepticsquirrel ок, I guess you do have a point. Which countries did you go to? I went to Turкey this summer. It was quite nice.
Motherland, stuff haven’t changed since I left in 2004
Thank god I left motherland
"This is Europe's last dictatorship"
Hungary: helo
or poland or montenegro xd
Wait Hungary is that corrupt? They actually limit the freedom? Wow never knew that one I thought it was just really grumpy right wings
bruh yall r just calllin everyone a dictator
Russia has been saying hi since 2000.
@Vladimir
They all say Russia and Hungary are the dictatorships, because they apparently have no clue what the word actually means.
Like Jesus, is it fucking hard googling the definition?
The fact that it took Ukraine for the world to realize what Putin is doing, is quite sad. Georgia, Belarus.... the world is in a mess.
Um.... wtf I don't remember Belarus like that
the last cheap country to party at in Europe ... hands off of Belarus
I want to be able to drink beer for 30 cents
Shout out to my fellow slavic brethren in Belarus and all through out east europe and russia - your polish brothers and sisters
This aged terribly.
In America
Half the Population wants this
If that is you
Here is your ideal world
Move to Belarus
"half" how's that tinfoil hat mate?
I would do it gadly, if I were an American
Belarussians are so nice people and so welcoming to foreigner, but this dictatorship has to be gone.
A dictator that dose not want to lose his status just like North Korea .Much the same thinking
NICE PROPAGANDA BUT NOBODY WILL BUY. BELARUS HAS DEMOCRACY AND NOT DICTATORSHIP. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CAMOUFLAGE DICTATOSHIP..........BETTER LOOK FOR IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY
this aged well
Protesters against Government in India can get far severe treatment for far lesser protests.
They call it ‘Sedition’
It reminds me of Soeharto (the 2nd president of Indonesia) era...
Otw diculik
Halo Petrus

Apa hak mu berbicara seperti itu ?

I came here because I heard a news about the Olympics 2021 that one of there athletes were forced to go home to Belarus without her consent because the higher ups in there government told her so? And her coach was upset because she criticized the coach and i was so confused and then i saw this now. I didn't know Belarus is a dictatorship country 😱 that's why going home is a bad idea. I now know why. 😭 ahhhh !!!
West never records East Europe during spring or summer, they always record in winter to make it look more depressing. This video was uploaded in August.
No it has nothing to do with that
Eastern Europe looks Depressing because of the Buildings.
@@cakeisyummy5755 They're literally no different than mass housing complexes in Canadian cities
@@SkyblueAviation they’re better maintained in canada at least
God damn It's been a long time since I saw the last episode.
Well, we know why Jonh Wick become an assassin
Somehow VICE didnt know Russia existed when they made this lol
