“Abused society” is rather manifested from women, who have always been the weaker sex in society and who are more likely to be subjected to violence than men. Lukashenka holds Belarus, a woman, with his blue hands.

Teaching through Openness, not Fear
Nicola Grace Orlovsky
Remember when kids in middle school were punished by getting sent to the corner or hit on the tips of their finger with a ruler? Yeah, that must’ve been fun! Fortunately, that has changed, but has it changed for the better? I personally do not think so.

I grew up in Minsk
Anna Vasilenka
I was born and raised in Minsk, my school years passed here, where I first fell in love and then broke up, skipped classes at McDonald’s and drank champagne in the yard. Here I made friends, rode on a skateboard, and drank a lot of coffee. Here I went to university, found a job for the first time, and it was from here that I always wanted to escape.
A Warm Welcome to Slovakia
Mara Stieber
Before I came to Bratislava, Slovakia meant for me a blank spot on the map of Europe, the continent in which a fair deal of my twenty-two years life has been spent. I chose to spend my semester abroad in Slovakia since it was one of the only destinations of which I had no stereotypes at all.
