Elizabete Elīna Vizgunova – Vikmane, “Putting on the post-colonial reading glasses: Belarus in contemporary Ukrainian media narratives” . Belarus Research Network on Neighborhood Policy, 2025.
This analytical article provides a deep analysis of how Belarus is portrayed in Ukrainian media in 2025. Focusing on the three outlets deemed most high-quality in 2024 — Suspilne, Babel, and Hromadske — it shows Belarus framed largely through negative narratives of Lukashenka’s illegitimacy, repression of opposition, and Russia’s colonial dominance, while also reflecting solidarity with the Belarusian people.
