Something went wrong!
Hang in there while we get back on track
Belarus, September 01, 2006. A member of the unregistered oppositional youth organization "Malady Front" ("Young Front"), dressed as a medieval executioner, participates in a flash mob "executes" a textbook on the history of Belarus for 10th-grade students.
The action illustrates how the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, treats the real Belarusian history.
In 2006, Nine members of "Malady Front" were prosecuted and held criminally responsible for activities carried out on behalf of the unregistered organization.
