The fourth installment of Godfather, a documentary film produced by Russian NTV, is scheduled to be aired on Friday, Oct. 8 at 7:30 p.m. Minsk [and Kyiv] time.
Topics of the latest episode announced by NTV will be how a deputy mandate saved Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko from prison in the early 1990s, the ‘faked’ suicide of a opposition journalist Oleh Bebenin, how other opposition Belarusian journalists were killed, and revelations from a member of the so-called "death squads" responsible for killing opposition politicians in the late 1990s.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev harshly criticized Lukashenko on Oct. 3, accusing him of waging a "hysterical" anti-Russian campaign to boost his bid for re-election.
Lukashenko, 55, has been Belarusian president since 1994. He is widely regarded in the West as the last dictator in Europe.
