You're not right. There are no lobbyists in Belarus, but there is a president that rules for about 20 years already, doesn't want to leave the president place and likes restricting free people.


How about corruption or collusion, then?


Uhm, he's a dictator. So yes, by definition - this is just controlling the media.


Well, he could be a corrupt dictator or a honest one; which does not mean nice, just that he tries to treat his subjects fairly according to some rule or ideology. Lobbying exists in dictatorships too I just guess it is generally not as frequent as in western democracies.
