The
Russian state-controlled media have their usual Western targets. But
occasionally, the Russian press sets its sights on its neighbour
Belarus. Minsk and Moscow have been allies for years, but a recent spat
over energy subsidies and Russia's campaign in Ukraine have made
relations fragile. The two countries have made peace, for now, but the
Kremlin's media machine has become increasingly uncomfortable for
Belarus' leader, not least because of its significant influence over the
Belarusian media landscape. The Listening Post's Johanna Hoes reports
on the media component of the relations between Moscow and Minsk,
Vladimir Putin's Russia and Alexander Lukashenko's Belarus.
