Belarusian tech entrepreneur George Kachanouski attends a rally against self-proclaimed Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk on Aug. 24, 2020. Despite stressing out about the current political situation in Belarus, Kachanouski decided to stay because he wants to topple the regime of Lukashenko.
