Presentation
The social movement that shook Belarus in 2020 made international headlines for its scale and for the violence of the police repression. Many rock musicians were quick to join this protest movement against the dictatorship. This is nothing new. Belarusian musicians have been expressing their opposition to the dominant political forces for forty years.
