Russian state-controlled media have their usual Western targets. But
occasionally, the Russian press sets its sights on its neighbour
Belarus. Minsk and Moscow have been allies for years, but a recent spat

Belarus' leader, not least because of its significant influence over the
Belarusian media landscape. The Listening Post's Johanna Hoes reports

Vladimir Putin's Russia and Alexander Lukashenko's Belarus.
