The monograph is authored by the research fellows of MGIMO Centre for Military and Political Studies. A chapter in the monograph under the expressive title Belarus: Thorny Path to Integration with Russia is dedicated to our country.
In this work, the analysts have presented a forecast of Belarus’ development until 2050, which envisages an eventual unification of the two countries. They recommend that the Russian authorities replaced Aliaksandr Lukashenka will a more pro-Russia president in order to minimize bloodshed during the annexation.
