| Background: | After seven decades as a constituent republic of the USSR , Belarus attained its independence in 1991. It has retained closer political and economic ties to Russia than any of the other former Soviet republics. Belarus and Russia signed a treaty on a two-state union on 8 December 1999 envisioning greater political and economic integration. Although Belarus agreed to a framework to carry out the accord , serious implementation has yet to take place. Since his election in July 1994 as the country's first president , Alexandr LUKASHENKO has steadily consolidated his power through authoritarian means. Government restrictions on freedom of speech and the press , peaceful assembly , and religion continue. |
