Belarusian writer and activist Toni Lashden sat down with SBS Russian to discuss their latest book, Chorny Les, the reality of Belarus after 2020, and the bonds (both fractured and enduring) between those who stayed and those who left. And, of course, they couldn’t leave out the wonderfully absurd celebration of Bad Internet Day.


The spelling of the guest's name and book title aligns with their self-identification and the authour's preference.
