Belarus: optimistic view

92
The Belarusian elections allowed to reveal a lot of pitfalls and at the same time became a reason for cautious optimism, convincing many skeptics about the outlook of Alexander Lukashenko. One of the positive moments is the absence of a split in society and at least a cautious attitude towards the opposition. And Belarus successfully defended the title of the main Russian outpost in Eastern Europe. Let's try to figure out why.



No precedent

I think everyone remembers the events of 2010 of the year, when the Belarusian “Maidan” was very well organized and held. He did not achieve his goals, but showed that, according to American foreign policy manuals, it is quite possible to bring several tens of thousands of latent oppositionists to the main square of the country and try to “stir up” something. Fortunately, times are changing, as the current situation shows.

The Maidan-2015 was planned along roughly the same method: the alleged discontent of the population with the “dictator”, the objections of the “society” against the military alliance with Russia and the fundamentally wrong power structure organized by Alexander Grigorievich. But he didn’t catch the audience well - there weren’t people in principle, except for a couple of dozen activists, whose speeches died out before they started.

What is striking is that Europe, apparently, fed up with American pressure, not only did not react to the election results with restraint, but also canceled the effect of sanctions against the Belarusian authorities for 4 month. This is a precedent equal to that in modern stories the country has not yet existed, and it says a lot about the increased sociability of the EU (did it really see the light?).

How to live and cooperate with Belarus further

I will not go through the minuses of Lukashenko and the minuses of a very peculiar form of government in the Republic of Belarus. I just want to note that, despite some costs, it allowed preserving the Soviet legacy better than in other former Soviet republics, as well as forming a post-industrial society without destroying the traditional way of life of the economy. I would like to note a slightly different point, which for me just a couple of months ago would be somewhat unexpected, - the unequivocal positioning of the President of Belarus as an ally of Russia.

Perhaps my words sound strange, especially against the background of the recent statements by Batka about Russian air bases, the existence of agreements on which he definitely denied. Nevertheless, it is necessary to recognize the obvious: no matter how cunning and two-faced a politician Lukashenka was, he is at the same time a pragmatist, able to look at several moves ahead. And he understands very well - if you quarrel with Russia, if you seriously make friends with the West and lose all the preferences for the purchase of oil and gas, if you lose powerful economic support for your neighbor - Belarus will be in the same defenseless situation as Ukraine now, and over time will turn third world country. And this will be fraught primarily for the president himself - then for once, the eternal pro-American opposition will be right.

Once again: everyone who claims the hostility of the Belarusian politeness towards Russia is trivial to look at the components of the budget of the Republic of Belarus, which is formed due to mutually beneficial cooperation with the Russian Federation. The only difference is that the Russian Federation can afford to live without Belarusian milk and tractors, and the Republic of Belarus without Russian energy carriers and annual loans will be bent very quickly. And that is why Lukashenka in the foreseeable future will not take any anti-Russian steps that may affect relations between the two countries.

Even fraternization with Poroshenko and the recognition of the Ukrainian authorities by Belarus, even soft games of independence can be viewed as part of a complex geopolitical game in which Lukashenka and Putin act together, only the latter is in its place, and the first is under cover. On the one hand, Belarus serves as a buffer zone between Europe and Russia, and on the other hand, it is becoming increasingly integrated into the Eurasian Union and various defense projects in the CIS.

Talking about Belarusian youth is a separate conversation. The fact that she is partly keen on anti-Russian rhetoric is completely fixable. And here, I think, it is quite possible to put pressure on the Father - no matter what he plans, and the degree of this very rhetoric in the country can and should be reduced. No matter what they say, Belarus and Russia will stay together for a long time, and nothing can objectively prevent this.

PS Please consider this article as my personal opinion. I do not pretend to be the ultimate truth, but I hope that my arguments will seem rather convincing to you. Thank.

      Ukraine has shown us what to expect from this "launch". And therefore more, perhaps, with this appeal it is necessary to appeal to our authorities: "Have you slept through Ukraine? Do not oversleep Belarus!" They let everything take its course: neither pro-Russian NGOs (like "Why? Where will they go?"), Nor propaganda .. Of course, the Belarusians are not khokh.ly! wassat But you can’t blame everything on one Old Man! wink

        (from the news) Over the past five years, the average pension in Minsk increased by 5,2 times.

          Explorer, compare a set of retirement goods. Then and now. Why are you doing in a puddle, taking advantage of the fall of the Russian ruble. The Belarusian pension almost doubled in Russian rubles. But food prices have not doubled in Russian rubles. You, conductor, verbiage. Such as you need to either educate, or to clarify what you are a conductor. Lukashenko is difficult, but people support him. Not you, conductor, but people. So they also chose to be father. Rotate.

            That's only our prices are considered in US dollars, and the dollar is constantly growing, prices immediately rise along with the dollar. And prices in Belarus are higher than in Russia, Poland, the Baltic states and Ukraine, the population goes shopping abroad. Relocate to us in Belarus for permanent residence, you will see that not everything is as beautiful as you think

              But on the other hand, the only way to live better is not to "lie to the west"

              We will become raw materials, etc. "appendages" at once - at best, we will repeat the fate of the Balts (or as the Greeks will be) - when everything is completely closed and live on "loans" - otherwise a form of bankruptcy and then "purchase" of an impoverished country.

              And in the worst, Nigeria’s fate awaits us - and plus a reduction in the population - they have already openly stated that there will be enough 30 million in Russia (does it mean that we have 3 million in KZ?)

              90 has already gone west - nothing good - just the horror of what happened

              And vice versa, when our states defend their interests, a rise in the standard of living begins — a vivid example is the return of the Russian oil industry to 2004 — and then the budget and debts are paid off and salaries are paid, etc. — a classic example

              I am glad that Belarus as a whole is heading east - to the "Golden Horde" as liberals often call us now. For them it is an insult - for me as a Kazakh it is a compliment.

              I respect that Old Man did not allow the oligarchs and "privatization" - his authority is very high in our country - everyone respects whoever I say. With such an ally, integration is an honor.

              And his speeches - in most cases completely pro-Russian or pro-Eurasian - and when not quite so - are coordinated with the Kremlin, or the second case is his opposition to the Russian oligarchs - the Old Man will not surrender Belarus to them without a fight - and here we all must be on the side oligarchs

                In Belarus, electronics, household appliances, cars, and almost everything are more expensive. Belarusians often come to stores to consult, and then they buy the goods they like abroad. And Belvest footwear falls apart a month after purchase.

    Welcome all! The Belarusians should not relax especially, because the "exceptional" are not happy:The US State Department has expressed disappointment with the presidential elections in the Republic of Belarus on Sunday, October 11. According to the US Foreign Ministry, the vote "did not meet international obligations for free and fair elections."

    Based on the reports of the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Washington noted that Belarus has "serious problems with vote counting and tabulation."

    In addition, according to American diplomats, the country lacks a legal framework that would govern the conduct of elections.

    The State Department welcomed the participation of opposition political parties and independent media in the elections, but added that international and local observers were cut off from the vote count process, which is incompatible with the concepts of democratic processes and norms.

And observers not from this same authority are not present in the calculations. WHAT'S WRONG? And the United States said it, or I, what's the difference? Facts have taken place to be.

    The theory is that Belarusians came from the Litvinians; the Litvinians are not Slavs, but Europeans.
    This ignorant generation grew up in Ukraine, it grows in Russia. If parents are busy at work, and the school program is the latest pro-American, then parents can’t do anything about it, and such children can often adjust their parents to themselves, especially if you study well.

    all anti-Russian movements in Belarusian politics are within the margin of error, for everything according to the protocol is under control, this is the policy of the cunning Lukashenko (cunning by the way is also a kind of mind), it may not look fashionable, but it’s simply dogmatic, without too much fanaticism, and a sheep intact and the wolves are full, is it worth changing the formula ...

      All anti-Russian movements in Belarusian politics (and this is the policy of Lu and no one else) are within the framework of the GDP that has been launched from above. And it’s funny to pretend that this is not so. The more you cling to a throne supported by GDP, the stronger the chain. And no need for an independent independent policy of dwarf states.

What was then and what is now. Where was Belarus then, and where now. Anyone who wants to-works, who does not want to scream.

              In fact above, here they are, but they are not.
              Look a little further, I'm talking about history and do not make hysteria.
              In fact-Belarus, for Russia is an ally at the moment and was him before, whatever you shouted here. In fact, the Russian air defense station is constantly standing and operating on the territory of Belarus, and the armed forces of Belarus are constantly in exercises with the Russians.
              And your airfield is a Russian business, it’s not today, but tomorrow it already is.


              So go ahead and wang. Well, mathematics help you (this is about facts in history), there are sections related to quantization, and integration sections.

      Lukashenko and Putin act in conjunction, only the latter in its place, and the former undercover.

      And so the picture is seen, Putin meets with Lukashenko in a safe house and Putin says here:
      - Do not recognize South Ossetia and Abkhazia, let everyone see how independent you are;
      - when you go to Kiev, say that you had to fight for the Crimea and that means killing Russian soldiers;
      - Do not send a single humcon convoy to the Donbass, because you are against the Russian world, let old people and children die of hunger and lack of medicine;
      - when I instruct the Russian government to conclude an agreement on the creation of an air base, say that you know nothing about this and substitute me;
      - at a meeting in Astana, agree to the air base, but ask again for money.

      For example, in the United States they pay taxes once a year, if the single tax in Belarus is 1500000 rubles, then multiply this amount by 12, they brushed a pumpkin for scratching 1000 bucks. And these are just trifles, but people earn there no longer argue but spend more.

That's what I never understood, as people who live not in this country, I know better than the Belarusians themselves, whom they love or dislike, whether they are glad to the leader or not, whether they like domestic politics or are sick of it. And such things as the parasitism law or the rule of gathering more than 3 people or in court for clapping, they know nothing. They only glorify this idol. So take it to yourself, most of the Belarusians will fold and pay more!

    The example of Urkaina really influenced the Belarusian society. In 2010, most Russophobes crawled out onto the square, but ordinary people dissatisfied with the economic situation, they were cleverly used by provocateurs. This year, on Saturday, Svidomo marched in the center of Minsk: they wrote that 800, there really were a herd of 300 goals, along with journalists. A thousand could get out on election day, but by 23:00 they had resolved - beer had fallen in price on the street -5 * C, a provocateur with a goat beard carried some gag in a megaphone, did not even prepare to see))))) And for example of 2012 to celebrate some little-known anniversary of something there in Pshechi Pshepolitoy, already 2000 crawled into the park.

    What is striking, Europe, apparently saturated with American pressure, not only did not react to the election results with restraint, but also lifted sanctions against the Belarusian government for 4 of the month.


    In fact, the abolition of sanctions was promised so that there was something to blackmail But father during Belomaidan. However, the idea was not so hot. Probably, they believed that But father decided to integrate European. Although, most likely, the sanctions were lifted from officials who should have merged Father But, like the dill bureaucrats of Yanuk. However, it seems that there is a bummer. Even banderlogs with bits were not missed.

      So, for the most part, commentators somehow do not understand that our people live in the 90s. Every couple of years, permanent crises. And constantly the president has someone to blame. There, people bought up the currency, they themselves are to blame for the devaluation. There is a global crisis (about which the authorities croaked intensely that we do not have a crisis) - devaluation. There, the Russian Federation imposed sanctions, we have a devaluation. All my life you just hear some excuses. And the fact that for 21 years they were in f * ck, so they stayed there, for this the king does not answer. And the good Russians praise yet, as we were lucky. UGH! Cheto none of them goes here to work. And they sing that the wise helmsman has done justice with us, and whoever is dissatisfied and says this is bought by the West or someone’s agent. And what they can sincerely hate our Kozlevich, they do not allow this. They know better from somewhere from Russia ...
