Freedom's Frontier: Belarus and the Battle for Europe's Future

In her lecture, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya will explore Belarusians’ ongoing struggle for democracy and its impact on Europe’s security architecture, addressing Russia’s war against Ukraine, hybrid threats, repression, and the resilience of civil society in exile. The lecture invites students, academics, and policymakers to reflect on how supporting Belarus’s democratic movement today strengthens the West’s response to global authoritarianism.

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is the National Leader of Belarus, the Head of the United Transition Cabinet, and the President-elect of Belarus, who independent observers agree won the presidential election on August 9, 2020, against the long-lasting dictator Aliaksandr Lukashenka.
