Union State of Russia and Belarus: trampling in one place

41

Everyone knows about the existence of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, but few understand how, in this case, to understand the term "state" in relation to two independent countries. The association is positioned as supranational, with its governing bodies, the presence of the state secretary, and supranational legislative body.

But at the moment, all this is more on paper. A real union state still does not exist. There is not a single currency, not a single foreign policy line. Even in the case of coronavirus, Russia and Belarus acted in virtually the opposite way. Moreover, the border between our countries was actually blocked.



Russia and Belarus are often in a state of, if not a political quarrel, then some “misunderstanding”. The reason may lie in the positions of the elites of the two countries. Belarus wants “union” economic preferences, Russia in response to this calls for deeper integration. In Russia, President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is accused of being "multi-vector," in Minsk they say that in Russia there are oligarchic forces playing against a really effective union. Everyone sees the problem not in themselves, but in a neighbor. Trampling in one place.

On the topic of the Union State of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus on the air of the Day channel, expert Sergey Kandybovich ponders. The question is raised whether this project failed completely:

    An endless theme for writing articles and ranting experts.
    Although all understanding people have long been saying - all garbage, no one will unite. Why should the Belarusian elite let Moscow in their place? They will buy everything, seize it, etc.
    And vice versa .... What wants Gazprom to give Belarus shares?

        I agree that everything has its time. These are two different economic systems, and Belarusians simply will not survive another privatization by Chubais.

      why stomp? Not trampling, but the complete breakdown of relations. When Belarus got a higher price for gas than Germany, it is now clear who Putin’s friends are, Belarus needs to be fed less and milked more than Putin does.

        Too different ruling elites do not agree.

        What is the difference between the "elites"?
        There is no difference, just after the collapse of the USSR, the party nomenklatura in each union republic decided that only the local "elite" was allowed to rob the local people in their clearing. them, therefore, the Belarusian "elite" wants to rob their citizens on their own and additionally receive energy resources from Russia at a cheap price, not letting anyone into their meadow, and in particular Russian capital, because it will buy them with giblets.
        That's the only difference.

      Tell me, what’s wrong with the fact that Russian successful and advanced enterprises will buy up the remnants of the former greatness of the BSSR? In relation to the former Union republics, Russia shows itself quite decently, unlike the EU and the USA. Just the former nomenclature of the BSSR really wants to live as good as in the USSR, but at the same time feel like the masters of Belarus. That it’s not the former Union Republic, but all the same thing - the small-town nomenclature seized upon the government, but does not want to live within its means.

        Someone thinks that they will come and destroy everything and therefore will not let go, they didn’t let them in well ... as an example, they are now looking for an investor to modernize the Minsk tractor ... and in Russia at this time is going to build their own ...
        ! In March 2021, the Rostselmash enterprise will begin to create a tractor plant. Currently, the site is under construction for a future plant. This was announced by the Governor of the Rostov Region Vasily Golubev. “The issue of the start of construction of the plant was decided by the shareholders of Rostselmash and the management of the enterprise. The investment policy of the company provides, in addition to the tractor, the construction of paint and varnish production, as well as the production of aggregates and equipment with a total investment of 19 billion rubles until 2024.

      It is difficult to disagree with this. It is the economic interests of the so-called "elites" that prevent the unification of the two fraternal peoples. And for cover, our peoples play off each other.

    As if there is a CSTO, the Russian Federation is personally responsible under this agreement for the sovereignty of a neighbor. Is it bad if you are guaranteed a pill for anyone in return for friendship.

    The project - the Union State - has not ripened.
    And there are many reasons.
    And they are in all, and in Belarus and in Russian.
    The Russian oligarchy and Putin do not give any guarantees that after the merger, those who have their interests and business in the Republic of Belarus will not lose it overnight.
    And this will happen. Without a doubt.
    Such a step, essentially suicidal, will not be taken.
    The topic, if not closed, is postponed "until better times."
    Unfortunately, they may simply not come.
    Very sorry.

    Russia and Belarus are often in a state of, if not a political quarrel, then some “misunderstanding”. The reason may lie in the positions of the elites of the two countries. Belarus wants “union” economic preferences, Russia in response to this calls for deeper integration.

    The position of the elites? You can find out in more detail what kind of elites are and what kind of positions are these?
    We have learned what is meant by the definition of “Russian elite”. This whole foam, which surfaced in the early 90s, scored with its own heads, thoughts and expressions the entire information space. We fully understood the “Moscow guardianship” over the industrial potentials of the regions. It’s not a secret for anyone that Lukashenko is afraid of “deep Russian integration” - the complete loss of Belarus sovereignty and the country's transformation into a peripheral piece of the liberal market structure of the Russian economy.
    If socialist integration had some kind of preference for our countries in economic, political and cultural cooperation, then a speculative-market structure built a fence between the two peoples through which both sides constantly “give” each other their claims and “insults” ...
    There will be no union between our countries in the sense that is laid down in the articles of the treaty. Only partnerships tied to self-interest and the desire to disarm each other.

    By and large - we are a single state. Yes, the very European Union is quite a state. It’s just that those days have already passed that the state is necessarily a territory fenced and fenced by towers. Now the world is ruled by money, goods, knowledge. Globalization. But at the same time, if something happens - we’ll crash together along enemy evil spirits!

    Strange article. You just voted amendments that make the existence of a union state impossible. Art. 79 and 75.1, the priority of the constitution over interstate agreements and the ban on the introduction in the Russian Federation of a currency other than the ruble. The first allows you to withdraw from any agreement or revoke your authority, if only the establishment seems that the foundations of the construction system are being infringed on something. And the second makes it virtually impossible to use the union currency within the Russian Federation, those from the letter of the amended law mean that now the Russian Federation can introduce any other currencies except the ruble .... but not on its territory.
    In such conditions, the Russian Federation is not, as it were, a contractual entity. For it can do anything according to its legislation ignoring interstate interests.
    In other words ... since the adoption of the new constitution, we are only talking about the absorption of someone in the form of Ossetia and other LDNRs. Allied movements in full volume are stupidly impossible. Only situational confederation. Purely to attack someone or fight off someone. And then again, each in his sovereign corner.

    “What is it,” Balaganov suddenly said, stopping work, “I've been drinking it for three hours, but is it still not gold?”

    Panikovsky did not reply. He already understood everything and spent the last half an hour with a hacksaw just for a look.

    - Well, sip some more! - Red-haired Shura cheerfully said.

    “Of course, we need to cut it!” Panikovsky remarked, trying to delay the terrible hour of reckoning.

    The idea of ​​a union state, if my memory serves me, began to promote Lukashenko, hoping to replace the decrepit Yeltsin as president. When Putin became president, after a few years Old Man lost interest in the project. he had no chance of nikaikh.
    I think that if he were offered unification and the presidency, then by the next elections Belarus would be part of Russia. And Russia with Prime Minister Putin somehow would have survived Lukashenko's presidency.
    Voporos, of course, to the Belarusian people, but to be honest, after Lukashenka, Belarus does not see normal development. The Ukrainian option would be a disaster for them.
