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

News.com.au, “Belarus dictator Alexander Lukashenko accidentally ‘orders’ workers to strip naked at work”, 28 June 2016:

PEOPLE have been posting pictures and videos of themselves naked and scantily-clad at work — in tribute to their president’s slip of the tongue.

It comes after President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, 61, mixed up his words during a speech on new technology.

       

“Innovations, IT-technologies, privatisation — it is all clear. We’ve conquered all of them. But everything is very simply, one should get undressed and work,” he said.

The president had actually wanted to tell people to “develop themselves” — however the phrase sounds very similar to “get undressed” in Russian.

What many described as a “Freudian slip” instantly went viral online and triggered a saucy flashmob event on social media.

       
Dozens posted pictures of themselves at work including naked and semi-naked businessmen and women at their desks.

       
A female assistant in an electronics store posted a picture of herself with only a keyboard protecting her modesty.

Other images included a bikini-clad brunette chopping wood with an axe, a rock band posing naked but for their instruments, and a young and rather nicely tanned woman gardening in nothing but tiny shorts.

Tattoo artists, radio hosts, journalists and even construction workers were soon stripping off at work to join in the fun.

All of the participants of the flashmob posted their photos online, with the hash tag #getnakedandgotowork, where they instantly went viral.

       

Belarus is a landlocked country bordered by Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.

Russian is the main language, spoken by 72 per cent of the population, while Belarusian, the official first language, is spoken by fewer than 12 per cent.

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.

Posted by Lukashenko a necessary evil for EGI? on Thu, 30 Jun 2016 08:44 | #

                           
Belarusian nationalists claim that Lukashenko has killed at least 5 political opponents and perhaps as many as 25.

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.
