BBC - Dictatorland (2017) Part 2 Belarus

Dictatorland Kazakhstan, Belarus and Tajikistan.

Ben Zand presents a three-part documentary series on the world's most brutal and, at times, grimly hilarious totalitarian regimes, investigating how rulers' caprices can have silly and horrifying consequences.

Part 2 Belarus

In this episode, Ben Zand travels to Belarus to experience the sinister and at times bizarre side to living in a dictatorship. Ben begins his journey in Belarus by heading to President Lukashenko’s home town. He sees a small shrine to the President, before setting off to find a mysterious spring in the woods, which Lukashenko apparently drank from as a child, and to which he attributes some of his dictatorial manliness and prowess.
