Belarusians follow President Lukashenko’s orders to “get undressed and work.”

Posted by Lukashenko a necessary evil for EGI? on Thu, 30 Jun 2016 08:44 | # A puppet of The Kremlin, Lukashenko has rigged elections to stay in power since seizing it from Alexander Shushkevich - who was Belarus’s first democratically elected President after personally signing the dissolution of The Soviet Union along with Yeltsin and then Ukrainian President. In addition to the murders, elections are rigged, protestors and oppositional journalists have been beaten for hours and jailed. Media is controlled. Laws are draconian: e.g., 7 years for possession of a joint of marijuana. Despite this horror and at very least erosion of the perceivable distinction between Belarusians and Russians through ebbing of Belarusian language and sovereignty, those most concerned for Belarusian EGI are reluctant to go along full speed ahead with liberalizing movements from the west - viewing them at worst as potentially backed by hostile forces, as in the case of Soros’ Orange Revolution and FEMEN. At best oppositional activism can be suspected of being naively prone to the hazards of western propositionalism via corporate, liberal and YKW interests ... or the insanity of an immigration policy such as that of Merkel, which nobody can make any sense of yet.

Belarusian language is being squeezed out of usage, despite the fact that Russians make up only 11% of the population.
Tending to the strawberries in typical rural Belarus - where Belarusian language has stronger roots - and, ironically, where Lukashenko has greater support: among old pensioners and village dwellers.
