The book 'Belarus in the XXI century: between dictatorship and democracy' edited by Elena Korosteleva, Irina Petrova and Anastassiia Kudlenko, is now translated into Belarusian, produced and published by Skaryna Press London on 7 April 2024! The book looks at the evolution of peoplehood in Belarus taking the year of 2020 as a watershed moment for the rise of a new political force in the country, called 'the People!'. This process of emergence is examined from historical, cultural, anthropological, economic and political perspectives. The book is available for order here.

WUB Hub research fellow Dr Paul Hansbury was quoted in an article in World Politics Review titled 'Lukashenko isn't done dismantling Belarus' democracy':

'[T]he permanent [All-Belarusian People's Assembly] is "a very significant step," Paul Hansbury, a research fellow at Warwick University's Warwick Ukraine-Belarus Hub, told WPR. "It's a way Lukashenko is preparing for a power transition after he steps down from the presidency at some point."'
