I think it's going to be the same during the next elections in Russia. It's really sad to see the declaration of the main opponent (Tikhanovskaya) (1)

Protesters are in jail (more than 2000 people), a guy has been killed by a truck, etc.

The first video in the twitter thread you link to was extorted from the winning opposition candidate by senior Belarusian officials in the office of the Central Electoral Commission.

The declaration she made after arriving in Lithuania is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DzisJ388Xs

In it, she roughly says "I thought I've been hardened by this campaign and that I will handle it. But I am still the weak woman that I was initially. I made a difficult decision. God save you from the kind of choice I had to make. Take care of yourself. Kids are the most important thing that you have in life."

And indeed, the internet is completely down in Belarus. Phone network still works.

Ah, so they threatened her kids. Sickening.
