Happy Independence Day Belarus!

Somehow our ancestors did not know such a holiday and lived in peace and harmony conditional White Russia, Great Russia and Little Russia, and now, through the efforts of non-politicians, everyone celebrates some kind of independence. Independence from whom or what?

Independence from whom or what?

From our common history. Divide and conquer in action ..

[Smolin]

Our ancestors lived in the USSR. There were the BSSR, the RSFSR and the USSR .
This is what I remember!
And what kind of Russia was there under the tsarist regime it doesn’t matter to me! And was there anyway,no one knows for sure about this.
But today's Belarus is the best-preserved fragment of the USSR.
Belarus has preserved the most of all former republics of the USSR Soviet system.
And it saved all thanks to the independence of the oligarchic Putin's Russia.

- very "subtle".
Only now it will be more accurate in this form:

Quote: Smolin

In such a state it is thanks to ... "oligarchic" Putin's Russia.

But somehow, in the initial version, this thought doesn’t fight the constant worries of the AHL either about the insufficiently large discounts on gas, or at the expense of restrictions on the export of milk to Russia and so on and so forth.

Our ancestors lived in the USSR. There were the BSSR, the RSFSR and the Ukrainian SSR .. Here I remember that !!
And what kind of Russia was there under the tsarist regime it doesn’t matter to me! And just did it, no one knows for sure anymore. But today's Belarus is a fragment of the former USSR, which was best preserved in this condition thanks to the independence from oligarchic Putin's Russia.

Well, yes, with scanty knowledge, it really doesn’t matter to you, because you don’t know stories, and you still flaunt it.
And as for your joy from "... preserved in this state ..." I would like to know more about what has been preserved there by the forces of the local authorities than you are so unbridledly happy about. If something has survived there, it is thanks to "oligarchic Putin's Russia", which buys the notorious Belarusian shrimp, jamon and other exotic goods growing on "noble and not swampy" soils of Belarus and supplies natural resources to Belarus at bargain prices.

[Mik1701]

Do not buy it. What problems?

According to any census in the Russian empire, the national composition of a great country is visible, and the three peoples go in one group as Great Russians. Little Russians and Belorussians. For example, the First General Census of the Russian Empire in 1897.

Now, if the provincial system were saved from the tsarist regime and were not carried away by the international and world revolution, very much would have gone differently in our country

[Prisoner]

Where would you go without "oligarchic Putin's Russia"? You can't live on one bulb. The intellectual base of Belarus is high, agriculture is at the level, the defense industry is working. Nobody takes that away from you. But what makes it all work? Is it only thanks to the efforts of the father and the Belarusians? Question. Russia spoiled Ukraine and received a zero from the "grateful" "wide Ukrainians". Now Ukraine is slowly and surely sinking into the swamp. So think about it. Fools learn from their mistakes, smart from strangers.

Independence from whom or what?

Lukashenko’s independence from the center. Independence from the common interests of a single people. Independence from history. Independence from logic.

[Alexga]

Independence from the common interests of a single people.

And it happened, Russia did it before everyone else, namely on June 12, even earlier than Ukraine, and Belarus is to blame. Strange logic, however.

Independence Day from common sense and roots ...

[Alexga]

Independence Day from common sense and roots ...

Eugene, recall the sequence of events of that time. Something seems to me that this is the first Russia to separate from the Slavic fraternal union. So, your phrase refers to the events of June 12 in Moscow, July 24 in Kiev, and then on July 27 in Minsk. Something like that was.

[Finches]

Not Russia began the first, but .... Boris Nikolaevich! The Belarusian people, too, no one asked, but Comrade Shushkevich’s signature under the agreement in Belovezhskaya Pushcha is, so there is a complete share of your own fault!

[Alexga]

And the agreement Belovezhsky is already a consequence of all previous events. And Boris Nikolaevich did not fall from heaven. Damn, at another 19 party conference, Gorbatom was told that he was engaged in garbage. And that freak had to show off in front of Europe and America. Dokrasilas, reptile. I crossed the border on the night of July 24, and reached Minsk on August 1, 1990. There was no information on the road at all. The events of June 12 brought great turmoil in us; Sumgayit Azerbaijanis of the 1988 model and Kazakhs of the 1989 model served. And wall to wall with sharpeners. The battalion of officers and warrant officers of 24 people consists of 15 Ukrainians, 4 Belarusians and 5 of us, Russians. Also the circus was still one. And political women make a helpless gesture, cannot say anything. It was probably easier in your Union? And the blame, Zhenya, lies with all of us, you cannot hide from her. How would you now, with the proclamation of a titular nation, you wouldn’t mess around. All this is muddy, there is a people that lives on the territory of the state, all must be equal.

[Finches]

The fact that the blame lies on everyone - you can’t argue!

[Bar1]

Independence Day from the ONE state of the Russians. It's stupid.

Today is celebrated Independence Day of Belarus. This day is considered the day of the liberation of Minsk from the Nazis.

Quote: Olegi1

Independence Day of Belarus. This day is the day of the liberation of Minsk from the Nazis.

Did our grandfathers die in battles on the outskirts of Minsk so that some Lukashenko would tear our people apart in a few decades? Is it for the fact that he received more complete power in his "patrimony" shed our blood? For the interests of the appanage prince went to death?
And what, Belarus on the day of the liberation of Minsk became an independent state? It is not written ambiguously: Independence Day of Belarus.
And the day of liberation of Minsk is the day of liberation of Minsk. To overshadow it by putting on this date some mythical "day of independence of Belarus" - a betrayal of the memory of the soldiers who laid down their heads for the liberation of this city.

And why are you building your * independence * at the expense of RUSSIA and at the expense of RUSSIAN CITIZENS ???
At the same time, why do you allow yourself * yapping * towards RUSSIA and about CITIZENS OF RUSSIA ???
Therefore, the opinion of Belarusians as ungrateful parasites is gaining ground in RUSSIA.

[Well done]

Well, since Pompeo and the Queen congratulated ... How ambiguous it is! Hold on "dad".

Happy Holidays Belarusians from the heart of you ..! No matter how you and I tried to pit, they won’t succeed! Hold on Old Man ..

Judging by the congratulations, world leaders support no less than Putin and Belarus and its president Lukashenko.

I don’t want to offend anyone, but it’s more likely to be called an attempt to census, especially if you attach a map https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/RE_1897_top1.png to it and ask yourself, where are those and those languages ​​are nations now? Who are considered in our time? The census organizer was a rather famous person, authoritative, it was not always good. In numbers and lines, he was sometimes mistaken quite significantly. Errors were revealed much later than his life.

Happy Independence Day from Bolshevism, is it not a holiday.

[Junior Private]

Well, almost all of the political elite congratulated Old Man. It is strange, quite recently historically, he was called "the last dictator of Europe", to see democracy sneaks up on the Republic of Belarus.

although history does not tolerate the subjunctive mood, but if after the war there would have been a daredevil and
would propose to Stalin to abolish all these fourteen Soviet republics and turn them into provinces
Soviet Russia, having necessarily abolished both republics and autonomy within the then Soviet Russia and created only provinces there, Russia still existed within the borders of 1945. Of course, Stalin should have been explained that he is not eternal, and that his iron hand after his death from the grave
The empire will not be able to keep in check. Along the way, not forgetting to recall that not all, and possibly not quite those
he destroyed the enemies of the people and put them in camps. But where will you find such a daredevil who would explain all this to Stalin, and even so that Stalin would understand and immediately begin to act, and not send the adviser to Siberia.
The Red Soviet Empire was destroyed by internationalism and the notorious friendship of peoples. After Stalin
liberals Khrushchev calls times the thaw. Although it was a real slush. But the seeds
Gorbachevism and Yeltsinism were planted precisely then. Under Brezhnev, these seeds only lay
in the soil of the power of the Central Committee of the CPSU, also fertilized by internationalism and the notorious friendship of peoples, and
under Gorbachev and Yeltsin, those seeds sprouted instantly and it turned out that these were terrible weeds, which were then torn to pieces by the USSR Red Empire.

A strange holiday. Belarus is dependent of course - this is the first, the second from whom does independence celebrate?
Belarus, like Ukraine, should be together with Russia and celebrate independence is not necessary when they are truly independent.

I can agree with you here, however, there are a number of questions (should I voice?) There are questions that, by deceiving their peoples, they have accomplished something for which they have no forgiveness. The difference is that we have a Yeltsin center, but they don’t have a Shushkevich center, and that’s it!

Probably not so - independence from Belarus did not come with you, it came in the brains of those who brought it closer, among the traitors, and traitors to the Motherland - the USSR, followers of those policemen, Vlasovites, and other villains who went to the service of the Nazis, but who at the same time they are painted under the patriots - by the way, the history of the state security organs knows many examples about such characters, but when it becomes known about modern ....

Figuratively. One can agree with something. However, if it were not for internationalism, it is not known how it would end, and there would probably be problems with the sources of intelligence, not only before, during the war, but also after ....

[Gennady Fomkin]

My impression is that Lukashenko finally stood on a crooked path. Having adopted slogans from the nationalist agenda, he is more confidently leading his country along the path of building a typical national state. Will he and his followers keep within the bounds of decency or will everything slide into terry, cave nationalism over time?

Judging by the rhetoric, he is practically following the path of the leaders of other former republics of the USSR - he begins to immensely highlight the titular nation. without any mention of other ethnic groups inhabiting the country. At the limit, after some time, non-titular ethnic groups, under the threat of some kind of punishment, will be required to recognize a new reality in which Belarusians are "a leading and guiding force", or "a suitcase, a station, ...", they say, " we did not invite you to our place. " There are enough examples of such a development of the situation in the former USSR.

I would be glad to make a mistake, but Belarus is not the first on this path.

[Veleslav17]

And for me, Russian patriots = Russian nationalists. Some kind of slogans dragged on ... You need to be treated for a phobia on the basis of nationalism.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Grigorych, of course, sometimes surprises, to put it mildly ... But I always respected the kind, wise Belarusian people. So, happy holiday, dear Belarusians! Happiness, tranquility and prosperity. As we quarrel, we will make peace. Tea, we are not strangers to you.

it was not in vain that a certain Pompeo "congratulated" and later hinted that Russia and Bellarusia would be "independent" from each other, this suggests that Jews and Britons with their criminals will continue to dig under the persecution of Belarusians and Russians; hope for the mexican border and the states of texas and california will be mexican
