Estimates show that due to the repressions that began in 2020, at least 300,000 people left Belarus, a country with a population of 9 million. The majority are young people fleeing the threat of imprisonment and the stagnation of life in a totalitarian country. They left behind their previous lives and dreams in Belarus, but did they want and manage to find new ones upon arriving in a new place?
