Interview with Nasta Bazar

In 2020, after joining peaceful rallies in Minsk following the fraudulent presidential election, Nasta Bazar took her family for a weekend trip to Kyiv. As the regime in Belarus started harsher repressions, Nasta’s family vacation turned into exile in Ukraine. Being a lesbian and mother, she didn’t feel safe there and moved her children and wife to Poland in 2021. There are many challenges in the life of a political migrant, but Nast finds ways to create daily stability in these chaotic times and tirelessly continues her activism for democratic changes in Belarus.

This interview was made as part of the project Femmoz – Empwerment for women in and from Belarus.
