Crimea, Belarus and the issue of freedom of choice

Two points of view on one historical event


Since the very Crimean events of March 2014, there are two fundamentally different versions of what happened. As a matter of fact, these two versions are absolutely incompatible initially and do not leave any place for any negotiations and “consultations”. The version of Ukraine (and the version of the West) is aggression; Crimea was “occupied”. From the point of view of Russia (and Crimeans themselves), there was a return to their native harbor. By the way, it is precisely the example of Crimea that clearly demonstrates to the "pacifists" that sometimes political conflicts have simply irremovable causes. Sometimes fundamentally impossible to agree and it is necessary either to fight or surrender.

Almost everyone knows that the political system of Ukraine in February 2014 irreversibly changed. Denying this (and hoping for a rollback to starting positions) is stupid enough. What happened is what happened. I must say that a significant part of the elites and the population of Ukraine either supported this reversal, or at least did not seriously protest. You know, it is impossible to make a clean policy in an airless space, without looking back at the masses.



Ukraine is not quite Russia, all today's regrets of some Ukrainians are “tactical” regrets, they say, something went wrong. If the population of Ukraine was categorically against, the Maidan would not be impossible. There are no miracles. But it did. And about the same as fractions of different densities are separated in a powerful separator, so after the Maidan the protest (and the decisive protest) went just in the Crimea, and, oddly enough, in the Donbass (strange, because Donetsk is the base of those same “Donetsk "). So there, in the Donbass, everything was “not so clear” until 2014.

I would even say that Donetsk “flew” from Ukraine due to the very unprofessional and aggressive actions of the new authorities. But Crimea was clearly, unequivocally and categorically against from the very beginning. Such matters, no one is to blame, it turned out itself. But I must say that in general Ukraine "ran" for the Maidan. And to do something with it was very difficult. We cannot decide something for the inhabitants of another state.

But Crimea just did not run. Crimea ran strictly in the opposite direction. Which, in principle, is quite normal. The only option for the new government to keep this region within Ukraine was a purely forceful one. But just the possibility of such interference from Kiev was not. Simply, Russia entered the game. And the Ukrainian authorities (both old and new) did not use any popularity on the peninsula.

And just from the very beginning of independence, Kiev was counting solely and exclusively on a power scenario, and therefore, no democratic-populist attempts to make Ukrainian power popular in Crimea were made in principle. And for millions of people in Eastern Europe, for whom the pro-Western choice is the only rational one, such a turn of Crimea was categorically unacceptable from the very beginning. And they kind of ask himself this question, and the only reasonable answer for them is we with Europe!

That is, people simply do not have the initial opportunity to understand that the choice is actually very different (in Russia, unfortunately, not everyone understands this either). And the logic itself, that someone chose Eurointegration, and someone chose to be part of Russia, is fundamentally unacceptable to them. That is why the opinion of the Crimeans themselves, paradoxically, was not in demand at all levels. Because (and this was already obvious) it was clearly pro-Russian and unequivocally unacceptable to Europeans.

And the European comrades, with all their respect for human rights and democracy, were categorically not ready for any kind of dialogue. Because this is the will of the inhabitants of Crimea (with obvious results) was categorically unprofitable for them. Therefore, a very simple decision was immediately made: the actions of Russia were designated as “aggression”, and no one in Europe was going to leave this point. And not gathered at this moment.

A “simple” solution to the tricky question from Belarusians


The approach to this problem in the Republic of Belarus turned out to be much more paradoxical. In the sense that, purely theoretically, the problem was really incredibly complex: understandable reluctance to quarrel with Ukraine and Europe, on the one hand, and close allied relations with Russia, on the other. There is something to think about, there is something to scratch your head.

So, the solution was found very quickly, and it was very simple. The Republic of Belarus not only did not recognize the fact of Crimea joining the Russian Federation, but the Belarusian press clearly defined one single all-Belarusian position on the Crimea issue: Crimea is “annexed”. Clearly, firmly and unequivocally. It’s like in the Belarusian press they never write “to Ukraine” and always write “to Ukraine”. However ... however, such an unambiguous decision on the Crimea immediately destroyed one of the most wonderful Belarusian myths that Belarusians really want to unite with Russia, but "they don’t know how."

This myth is shattered. After all, in fact, what happened? Crimea has done exactly what Belarus is “about to do” for 25 years - that is, to unite with Russia. And Crimea accelerated very quickly and walked around the corner of unhurried Belarusians. Or how? Or what do you want? What were you going to do? What was meant by the beautiful word "integration"? Explain, please.

If anything, then the gas prices in Crimea are just quite Russian, and the Crimean enterprises have no problems with access to the Russian market. You are it wanted to. Or what? The Crimea also has no problems getting Moscow loans today (the Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus, Rumas, is quietly envious in the corner). That is, all those problems that the Belarusian side has persistently voiced for us for decades have been resolved as if by magic.

For some reason, in the Crimea for a couple of years managed to do much more in the sense of solving all these problems, than for the entire period of the reign of a great friend of Russia from Shklov in Russian-Belarusian relations. Why? It is absolutely incomprehensible. In Belarus, the topic of contradictions along the lines of Russians - Belarusians is actively promoted and incited. Professional propagandists work. Problems created the sea. But how do Russians relate to Crimeans? Crimeans are exactly the same citizens of Russia. Everything.

In a strange way, the integration of Crimea into Russia was called (following the example of its Western partners) “annexation”, it is not studied and is not considered in Belarus in principle. "It is illegal". And, as A.G. Lukashenko, “destroy the Belarusian state”, which is absolutely inevitable during integration - is this legal? Not? Why then talk about integration?

For some reason, Crimea was integrated without any special problems (not counting those brought in by the “partners”). Nobody asks special questions, and people celebrate the day of unification. Well, as in Germany, celebrate October 3. And at that moment (March 18), when in Crimea, as throughout Russia, people are singing, dancing and having fun, Belarusians look at all this with great disapproval. When Mr. Babich gathered a press conference about this holiday, representatives of the leading media of the Republic of Belarus refused to attend it. Demonstratively.

To whom and why rejoice?


But it is not clear that the panamas do not like? The whole essence and whole meaning of the relationship between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus is kind of like integration. This is if officially. But the integration of Crimea (quite successful for itself) causes a terrible rejection. Complete rejection. But the result of integration (and we are just interested in the result) should be just: a common economy, a common policy, a common market, and so on. How this is achieved is already the tenth thing; the main thing is to achieve this.

Crimean citizens today enjoy the rights of Russian citizens; Crimean enterprises, unlike those remaining in Ukraine, have no problems with access to the Russian market. Russia, without any questions and requests, invests a lot in Crimea, the standard of living and employment of which is already higher than in the "sovereign Republic of Belarus." Yes, there are certain restrictions due to sanctions, but for this we must already say “thanks” to our Western partners.

Both Europe and Ukraine consider Crimean residents to be part of the Ukrainian state, but they haven’t done anything good for the last 5 years, only bad. That is, for the “wrong”, from their point of view, decision, they declared all residents of the Crimea “criminals”. Something like that. They do dirty tricks and sit, waiting for them to love Ukraine.

But the process cannot be stopped. Crimea really became a part of the Russian Federation. And it cannot be said that in Crimea someone was greatly offended. And yes, for obvious reasons, integration with Russia did not imply preservation of the full sovereignty of the Republic of Belarus. This, sorry, is fried ice. This does not happen. For 24 years of “integration”, it has already become clear that Belarusians would like to have a completely sovereign state, with foreign policy completely independent from Moscow, and at the same time maintain full access to the Russian market and to Russian resources, as it were, as “subjects of the Russian Federation” . Yes, yes, exactly so: an independent state on the rights of a subject of the Russian Federation.

This, for obvious reasons, sounds wild enough, and therefore not voiced aloud. Nothing is clearly voiced at all, but the reaction to the Crimean events implies that Belarusians are not going to ride joyfully at the reunion with Russia in 5 or 10 years. Then what is it all about? The Germans celebrated quite happily on October 3. This is their holiday, and this is their day. For many years they wanted unification, and they united.

Russians happily celebrate March 18th. We have been waiting for this for many years - and now it happened. The question is what are Belarusians waiting for and what do they want to celebrate? EU Accession Day? I understand that they are ready, but what does Russia have to do with it? What is happening in Crimea does not have to be liked by someone from foreigners. What for? What is their business, do they live in Kiev or Brussels? This is the business of the Russians themselves. "Sevastopol will remain Russian." In a strange way, those who in Belarus deny the return of Crimea to Russia (modeled on their Western counterparts) are categorically not ready to discuss something with the residents of Sevastopol themselves. But this is already suspicious: today they are not ready to talk with the residents of Simferopol, tomorrow they will refuse to discuss something with Krasnodar ...

Crimeans no one "drove" to Russia, they essentially created unbearable conditions in Ukraine. And they did his free choice. In the same way, no one drives Belarusians to Russia, for some reason this horror story is the most popular in the Belarusian press. I understand that Belarus is not a very free country, but not to deny freedom of choice as such? Belarusians today categorically do not want a union with Russia.

For some reason, the most difficult thing for residents of the Republic of Belarus is to understand that there is such a thing as freedom of choice. They also have it, oddly enough. Russian tsars at one time very much burned to the inclusion of Poland in Russia. Stalin was very burned at the inclusion of Lviv in the USSR. Why repeat their mistakes? Does Belarus want to be European? Why not?

But trying to be “like Poland”, while maintaining the “candle factory” in Russia, will fail, although pan Poroshenko tried for a very long time.

      Everything is clear with Lukashenko: he needs no one except those who recognize his greatness. And Belarusians need to understand that in Europe they are NOBODY. Like Jews who have come to Germany, whom the Germans do not see at point blank range. Belarus is a small country with almost no natural resources; it will never become great and rich. This is geography. No, they don’t pull to Russia, but they offer it for now. Free-will.

          hi
          Everything would be fine, if only narcissism and puffing of cheeks by an "agronomist". But flirting with the West and NATO under the guise of "friendly" conversations with Putin, announcements of hundreds of "integration" options, never-ending demands for preferences, this is something else and is called differently, about which the Russian government should ask the "partner" complete.

      I respect the author with respect, but I will allow myself a few objections. Regarding the differences between Russians and Ukrainians. Here I fully support Putin, who said that this is one people. There are more similarities than differences.

      The same applies to Belarusians. If we want to unite, then there is no need to look for differences. It is necessary to bring everything to a common denominator. And you can’t do without compromises.
      . Russian tsars at one time very badly burned on the inclusion of Poland in Russia. Stalin badly burned on the inclusion of Lviv in the USSR. Why repeat their mistakes?

      Poland was part of the Russian Empire for almost 200 years. And I didn’t feel any inconvenience in this regard. On the contrary, many Poles became major Russian figures and acted for the good of the country.

      Stalin, too, did not experience any inconvenience from the inclusion of Lvov in the USSR. And I didn’t even think of burning myself. All that odious happened in Lviv, it was not under Soviet rule... Yes, take at least modern Russia. If everything goes to pieces, in some republics it will immediately explode. But this is not a reason to exclude someone from the federation and accuse Putin of "laying a mine under Russian statehood"!

        Have you talked to Ukrainians?
        From personal experience: in the Moscow office we regularly met with different Europeans and Europeans
        So, it’s unpleasant to talk about it, BUT the Germans and Italians were much more open
        and friendly than the Ukrainians.
        And there were an order of magnitude less problems with them.
        I do not know why
        And even with the Japanese everything was easier

        One people? belay
        Belarusians were not too "open to communication" either, although there were different
        So the topic of "fraternal peoples" I somehow do not really perceive

          in order to understand what happened it is necessary not to meet in a cafe, but to live in Ukraine.
          Ukraine happened against the backdrop of police lawlessness in the country, economic squeezing of the population and the progressive hatred of the population towards Yanukovych. Nationalists took advantage of this. Not a single president of Ukraine was pro-Russian and Ukrainization has been going on since the country's independence

              And famous be-be-be-discussion at a meeting of senior management was also conducted not on a sovereign mov.
              However, the Ukrainian authorities are taking measures to rectify the situation, yes ... There, sprechenfyurer Monakhova already got to the bottom of children's circles:
              The default should be Ukrainian. This means that for the first time the law is explained to them, and for the second, a fine occurs. All this is in the law.

            And was it not long before Yanukovych in Crimea that they even cut off the radio in Russian, banned the broadcasts of "Mayak" and removed Russian channels from television? Or do you not remember what kind of shit poured out on Russians in the Ukrainian print media, even under the brands MK, Komsomolskaya Pravda and AiF, while Russian publications were getting rid of in every possible way? In Crimea, only one republican publication was not permeated with Russophobia - this is "Krymskaya Pravda", and even then it was clamped down as soon as they could. So the point is not in the police chaos and not in Yanukovych, but in the very essence of the Ukrainians, who spread rot on all Russian-speakers, and this is true - I know too well what was going on there all the years of independence, which is why the Crimeans immediately fled from Svidomo. that Kiev milked Crimea in such a way that it was the most seedy region of Ukraine - and that was all before Yanukovych.

    Oleg! !!! We are guilty, and not the people of Belarus! We are guilty that we did not put pressure on Lukashenko, that integration into a single state was not immediately set as a priority task! It’s our fault that we don’t give at least our oligarchs, whom the Belarusians are afraid of, and do not keep our officials on a short leash so that they only carry out their work carefully and do not go wherever they belong! We hands Lukashenko released from the Pandora’s box Belarusian nationalists, we feed them hydrocarbons and loans, in response to the empty promises of Lukashenko, and not the people of Belarus! 20 years ago it was very tough to raise the question of Belarus becoming part of Russia on the basis of autonomy, at least for the next 20 years, until we agree and resolve all controversial issues and moments! But, nothing of the kind has been done, the nationalists of our countries , unlike our authorities, they easily found a common language, and now even the discussion of the option of not only entering, but of the economic iteration of Belarus into the economic space of Russia is actively interfering!

        You described everything correctly in the article and I agree with your conclusion - Belarus will never integrate into Russia as the Crimea did, and therefore all their arguments about the union state are just for diversion and for obtaining additional preferences. And so it's time for us to take off our rose-colored glasses and look at them the way they deserve it. Although I personally have nothing against the Belarusians themselves, but their ruler is too cunning - "both yours and ours will sing and dance."

          I saw on YouTube in a video how troops were brought in, and how army aviation acted, and how convoys moved, and believe me, having experience, I can say that I was proud of what I saw. Coherence, speed and even the appearance of equipment immediately tells the professional about the training of troops, and this is the main indicator for the army. So I personally did not exaggerate anything - the movement of troops and the further occupation of positions were at their best, at least when assessing time standards.

    For some reason, in the Crimea for a couple of years it was possible to do much more in the sense of solving all these problems than for the entire term of the great Russian friend from Shklov in Russian-Belarusian relations. Why? It is absolutely incomprehensible.

    And what's not clear here? Everything is completely understandable here, if we bear in mind the fact that all questions of foreign and domestic policy, integration and confrontation with anyone are decided not by some Belarus or Crimea, but by the political elite in the person of specific people. And if the leaders of Crimea were solving the problem of transition from a subordinate state to one leadership (Ukraine) to a similar state to another leadership (Russia), then in the case of Belarus, the political elite of a sovereign country that is not subject to anyone goes into a subordinate state of the level of just a subject of another country. And it means a lot to them. Therefore, Belarus (again in the person of specific leaders) will only agree to an alliance with Russia when it, the country's political elite, in one case, retains its position of "first" after God, which is difficult to imagine. In another case, if, under external influence, there is a threat to this elite of physical / political liquidation by a third force without taking into account the interests of the RB elite. No one will give up sovereign power on their own, even though the population of the countries seems to be interested in this step.

    For some reason, the most difficult thing for residents of the Republic of Belarus is to understand that there is such a thing as freedom of choice. They also have it, oddly enough. Russian tsars at one time very much burned to the inclusion of Poland in Russia. Stalin was very burned at the inclusion of Lviv in the USSR. Why repeat their mistakes? Does Belarus want to be European? Why not?

    Hmm, Yegorov, with this phrase you killed me. And even more so with a photo.
    Egorov, ascribing to the percentage of the population in the amount of statistical error the opinion of the entire Belarusian people is an idea.
    I read all your articles about the Republic of Belarus and I have already formed an opinion about you as a person whom some thread Belarusian somewhere once offended and everything that is printed under the guise of "analytics" (or personal opinion) is a banal vendetta. request
    And my personal advice is to climb less on HERE.by, taking it for the axiom of the opinion of the Belarusian people. Egorov, the number of visits does not yet speak about the veracity of the resource. And if a person has brains to think in different directions, then from one analysis of comments and their criticism on this resource, a picture of the frenzied opposition of this site opens.

A rally for integration with Russia is going to be held in Minsk, I have a question - will you compare the number of photographic materials provided today with what will take place and will the expression of the opinion of other Belarusians who are against Europe, as described by you in your "articles"? wink
    And so, Yegorov, for me personally you are just a banal offended oppositionist in views. With the same success, you can write about your "bogies" and attribute to them the opinion of the entire Russian people. But the difference is that I don't even have such thoughts. wink

      Well climb on Deutsche Welle

      A former SOBR fighter told how they killed Zakharenko, Gonchar and Krasovsky



      Recall, on Monday, Deutsche Welle published the story of a man whom he introduced as a Belarusian Yuri Garavsky. The interlocutor claims that in 1999-2003 he was a fighter of SOBR - a special unit for the rapid response of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus. According to Garavsky, 20 years ago, he participated in the abductions and liquidations of opponents of President Alexander Lukashenko. If you believe the words of the interlocutor, along with colleagues he kidnapped and killed ex-Minister of Internal Affairs of Belarus Yuri Zakharenko, ex-head of the Central Election Commission Viktor Gonchar and businessman Anatoly Krasovsky.

        Dmitry Pavlichenko about the interview of the “ex-fighter of the SOBR”: This is complete nonsense
        465
        16 December 2019 to 18: 03
        Elena Tolkacheva / TUT.BY

        The ex-commander of military unit 3214, the ex-commander of the SOBR, Dmitry Pavlichenko denies that the SOBR was related to the disappearance of Zakharenko, Gonchar and Krasovsky. And Yuri Garavsky, who claims that he participated in the abduction and murder of Zakharenko, Gonchar and Krasovsky 20 years ago as part of the SOBR, never served in the special unit under the command of Pavlichenko. This was stated by Pavlichenko in a comment to TUT.BY.

        Photo: Belarus today
        Photo: Belarus today
        Dmitry Pavlichenko commanded a special forces brigade of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (military unit 3214, Uruchye, Minsk). In 2008, he was deputy commander of the corps of public order of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for combat training. In 2009, he resigned. Now heads the Belarusian Association of Veterans of Special Forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Troops “Honor”.

        Dmitry Pavlichenko is included in the list of Belarusian officials who are banned from entering the EU and the USA due to the suspicion of his involvement in the high-profile disappearances in Belarus in 1999 and 2000.

        On November 23, 2000, Pavlichenko was detained on suspicion of involvement in the disappearances. However, Pavlichenko spent only a few hours in jail. He was released by personal order of the president. A few days later, the prosecutor general Oleg Bozhelko and the KGB chairman Vladimir Matskevich lost their posts. Bozhelko's place was taken by Victor Sheiman.

        - Garavsky served one and a half years of military service, and then dishonored [internal troops]. He has nothing to do with SOBR. We [in 1998] opened a staff of contractors, he did not have much intelligence, the lad was healthy, but there were certain skills in hand-to-hand combat, and we took him. But SOBR was formed in 1999. And at that time, in 1999, he fell under criminal liability - he was engaged in extortion. He was taken into development by the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime and Corruption, detained by Almaz - everything was serious there. Therefore, when some events happened [in 1999], to which the SOBR was not related, he was serving his sentence.

        There is a dossier in the KGB on Garavsky. He has nothing to do with the SOBR, he disgraced our ranks, took up criminal business - extorting money from ordinary citizens, hiding behind the fact that he was an employee of the [Ministry of Internal Affairs]. We expelled him from our ranks, he served three or four years. He sat down in 1999.

        “But he claims to be a fighter of the SOBR from 1999 to 2003.”

        - This cannot be, he was serving a sentence at that time. Despite serving his sentence, his own was not his own, but he served with us, and I helped him get a job. He [at work] again committed some fraud, and he was kicked out of there. Then he got drunk while driving in an accident and became crippled. I also found a way, it is customary with us, I support many - I head the Belarusian Association of Veterans, and I have a lot of patients and cripples in my care, I also found a way to support it. But the man [Garavsky] is trying to make money on this all. The man simply lost his conscience and guiding lines. For 20 years there have been many publications, I have already seen enough. There were no mysterious operations.

        - So you say that the SOBR under your command did not participate in the abduction and murder of Zakharenko, Gonchar and Krasovsky, which Garavsky talks about?

        - This is some kind of nonsense. Well, maybe someone out there doing something about it. “We are a special forces special forces unit, these are issues that are within the competence of other bodies, if they were doing this,” Pavlichenko says.

He gathered our skeleton and says: “Who will go to detention? It will be necessary to detain and liquidate two "- said Garavsky. The surnames of those who need to be detained were not given to the group again. “Understand, I’m saying how the conversation was:“ So, you decide who will go to detention, who will dig holes. ”

    ... Ukraine is not quite Russia, all today's regrets of some Ukrainians are "tactical" regrets, they say, something went wrong. If the population of Ukraine was categorically against, the Maidan would be impossible. Miracles do not happen.

    So it is in the USSR! The population of the country came out against Yeltsin and the Bialowieza Agreements - there would not be today's realities.

    ... Donetsk "flew" from Ukraine due to the very unprofessional and aggressive actions of the new authorities. But Crimea was clearly, unequivocally and categorically against from the very beginning.

    If the population of Ukraine was categorically againstMaidan would be impossible. There are no miracles. But it did. And about the same as fractions of different densities are separated in a powerful separator, so after the Maidan the protest (and a decisive protest) went just in the Crimea, and, oddly enough, in the Donbass (strange, because Donetsk is the base of those same “Donetsk "). So there, in the Donbass, everything was “not so clear” until 2014.

    Do you know why Belarusians do not want either Europe or Russia? I'm not talking about Lukashenko, but about the results of the polls. Because Belarus used to be the assembly shop of the USSR. She did what was ordered from what was given. And now nobody offers anything like that.

    It is "clever" in quotation marks to compare independent Belarus with the Crimean region (autonomy) within Ukraine. Crimea is ahead of Belarus - what nonsense)))) Nobody wants to be part of Russia. Yes, there was a referendum in 1996, people voted for an alliance with the Russian Federation, essentially nostalgic for the USSR.
    Maybe at that moment they would vote for joining the composition, but not now. Since 1991, a generation has already grown, born in an independent country. It will be difficult for them to understand why we should now become part of another country.

      So what about Crimea? Did he "not aim"? And where is the standard of living now higher, in the Crimea or in the Republic of Belarus?


      And yes, can independent Belarus fight as Donbass fights?
      Tell us how the salute was arranged on Independence Day.

      already grown, born in an independent country. It will be difficult for them to understand why we must now become part of another country.


      The main thing is that they understand how to pay the sovereign debt of Belarus.

          And rightly so.
          An independent power is required to pay bills
          That's just the whole year RB tried to get a loan from Russia
          It didn’t burn out - they ran to the Chinese

          What - to pay ... what are you talking about? belay

        The standard of living in the Crimea? Are you seriously? Belarus is a European country, unlike your collective farm Crimea.
        So the standard of living has risen in your Crimea that tear three skins from Russian tourists? Probably only due to this and rose.
        It is necessary to adopt experience.

          Well, if you are so European and independent it’s enough to go round the Russian Federation, return our money, planes and bring us to Europe, collect apples and need to clean the apples for the Polish panam, and forget the way in the Russian Federation!

          I know most of all I like to look at running water, burning fire and Belarusians talking about high morality. laughing

          Russian military regularly and independently launch ballistic missiles
          Belarusians on Independence Day were not able to launch a cracker -
          a woman died.

          Next (go to the highest morality)
          Two civilian representatives of a fireworks manufacturer from Russia were arrested
          None of the valiant Belarusian military was arrested

          They really are not able to launch a cracker

    You speak very beautifully, exalted, spiritually, patriotic. BUT you do not sufficiently note such a question as. MONEY. The reason for the coup in Kiev. The increase in Russian gas prices led to a decrease in profits earned by Ukrainian oligarchs. and naturally to the search for other sources of financing.
    The result: Western-oriented oligarchs receive promises of preference and make a coup. In the east, the entire economy is built on interaction with Russia, so the transition to the west is the death of enterprises, unemployment and hunger. Therefore, people began to speak intensively. In Crimea, the situation is similar. Most vacationers from Russia. Moving west is the construction of NATO bases and the Crimean Tatar redistribution of property, which leads to a loss of earnings. nobody can rest there, therefore unemployment and hunger. Russia took advantage of the situation and annexed Crimea. The truth must be said. Now Crimea is like the Baltic republics in the interim USSR. and naturally not interested in change. The situation with Belarus is similar. The economy is tuned to Russia, but the recent actions of the Russian leadership lead to financial losses. And Belarus is losing its incentive to work with its eastern neighbor. And it can be seen from there that the talks about integration are the main issues, the redistribution of property and Belarusian enterprises in favor of the Russian oligarchs. And since Minsk is located outside the Moscow district, he will not have money after the merger. And now they live in Minsk much better than Pskov or Vladimir. Now explain the meaning of integration with Russia. But with Moscow they would probably be ready to integrate, but with Russia it makes sense.

      Poor and primitive "money analysis". Especially impressive - ". And now people live in Minsk much better than in Pskov or Vladimir. Now explain the meaning of integration with Russia." it is, allegedly, Russia has nothing to do with it. Arrogance and stupidity are just off the charts.

    It’s obvious that the RB of Russia is not a friend and not an ally ... Once they call the return of Crimea to Russia an annexation, then it’s time for the Russian Federation to close the border with the Republic of Belarus, and let Lukashenko ask Kiev for loans, discounts and jobs for his ... How Professor Preobrazhensky said - You can’t serve two gods ... Minsk made its choice and it is not in Russia's favor ... Minsk only needs a freebie from Russia, they don’t want to unite with the Russian Federation ..

        In the Russian Federation there is a criminal article related to the violation of territorial integrity. Therefore, the Russian Federation believes that the country is indivisible and in no way can be divided.
        And in relation to other countries, this is ignored. International and national law are also there.

        So listen, if Ramzan wanted to become part of the UAE or the United States, for example, the Russian Federation would sit and look at foreign troops in Chechnya (helping unfortunate Aborigines) and holding a referendum. And then the State Duma officially formalized the withdrawal of the republic from the Russian Federation.
        Sounds like a fairy tale, right?

    It would be better if Belarusians were left alone with their integration. So that Belarus and the rest would like to join us, we must first create a normal state for ourselves, and this is also attractive for others. And there’s no reason for anyone to change their oligarchs and burglars of bureaucrats of embezzlers ... So, our players play along while it’s profitable, our strategists will begin to put pressure and Lukashenko will have to be taken out so that he doesn’t rush to the guard from Poland with saviors :)
