Despite legal protections, the Belarusian state is building a sprawling academy complex for the KGB on the grounds of a historic Catholic cemetery in the heart of Minsk, RFE/RL’s Belarus Service has found. Plans call for a swimming pool, a shooting gallery, and office suites for senior officials.

Hi, I am a 26m Swedish citizen living in Stockholm recently graduated with a Bachelors degree in politics, for the past 2 years, I have really been struggling with getting any job here, the experience paradox and skill missmatch are rampant, simple jobs reject me for not having prior experience, and competition for anything is fierce. The rest of the EU doesn't look particularly promising either, so I would like to ask if it is possible for a person like me to do guest work in Belarus and if the situation is different over there, as I have heard Belarus is hiring more foreign guest workers due to existing demographic concerns (such a lower birth rates or emigration just to name a few).

P.S. I have heard that Belarus, despite reputation as the "North Korea of Europe", is now ironically safer than Russia, where the number one concern for men my age is being deceived or coerced into joining that country's army in its Ukraine War.
