ナショナルジオグラフィックさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ナショナルジオグラフィックInstagram)「Photos by Brendan Hoffman @hoffmanbrendan Belarus is in the spotlight this weekend after unprecedented opposition rallies against longtime authoritarian president Aleksandr Lukashenko, who is standing for a sixth term Sunday. Despite the widespread protests, a recent government opinion poll reported more than 70 percent support for Lukashenko, forecasting another win in an election being conducted without the traditional independent European monitoring groups, which have found major flaws with the past four elections. While I'm not there this time around, here is a look back at some pictures capturing the mood around the 2015 election. (1) A student attends a concert in support of Belarusian president Aleksandr Lukashenko, which was recorded in Minsk for later broadcast on state television. (2) The Belarus Free Theatre performs at a secret location in Minsk. The underground theater group operates in defiance of hard-line authorities, with blatantly political and otherwise controversial subject matter. In the past this has led to police raids on performances, arrests of members, and its founders going into exile. (3) People attend a concert of the band Recha at TNT Rock Club in Minsk. (4) A man sells stuffed animals from his car at a gas station outside Minsk. (5) The audience watches a concert in support of Lukashenko, which was recorded for broadcast on state television. (6) Election officials work inside a polling station in Babruysk. Lukashenko officially took 83.5 percent of the vote. (7) The Belarus Free Theatre performs at a secret location in Minsk.
