...charismatic member of parliament with a bushy mustache and a talent for fiery oratory built his presidential campaign on a pledge to stamp out corruption, rein in the high-handed bureaucracy and restore ties with Russia. Many voters hoped that such an alliance would ease the burden of cleaning up after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster next door in Ukraine, which contaminated almost 23% of Belarus and still costs the government nearly 25% of its meager $3 billion budget.
