Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994 and once referred to by Washington as " Europes last dictator, " must find $3 billion by years end to prop up his heavily indebted economy.

This print showcases a vibrant field of marigold flowers, blooming in all their glory at a private plantation near the village of Pishchalovo, located approximately 220 km east of Minsk. The image was captured on July 18,2011, by esteemed photographer Vasily Fedosenko for Reuters Images. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko's economic struggles are juxtaposed against the resilience and prosperity witnessed in this particular plantation. Despite the country's financial crisis and heavy debt burden, which necessitated finding $3 billion to stabilize the economy before year-end, this picturesque haven remained largely unaffected. The director proudly attests that imported products have minimal presence within these fields. The marigold flowers themselves symbolize beauty and warmth while representing resilience in adversity—a fitting metaphor for both nature's ability to thrive amidst challenging circumstances and Belarus' determination to weather its economic storm. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of self-sufficiency and resourcefulness found within local communities. Through Fedosenko's lens, viewers are transported into an idyllic scene where rows upon rows of golden-hued marigolds stretch out towards the horizon—an enchanting sight that evokes feelings of tranquility and hope. It reminds us that even during times of uncertainty or political turmoil, nature continues to offer solace and inspiration with its timeless beauty
