Politics Protests in Belarus

These are not flags of Belarus. These are the flags of Belarussian USSR minus hammer and sickle. Even Russia didn't keep the Soviet flag.

You need to be educated.

Internationale recognized flag of Belarus is a red-and-green flag with a white-and-red ornament pattern placed at the staff end.
 
Which means Russia is a traitor and collaborationist ?

Technically, the answer is Yes. Since the Russian Imperial insignia was used by all kinds of Ethnic Russian formations in service of Nazi Germany, including the St. George ribbon. But you know Russia writes its own rules as it pleases.

Once again, de facto this is the flag of the Belarussian USSR minus hammer and sickle emblem, but it perfectly matches what the state of Belarus has become under Lukashenko.

Here we go again....

Damn, how many times i need to write this.
Most of the protestors and Belorussians are not anti-russian and they have the reason to protest. However organisers and supporters of the riots are absolute anti-Russian, pro-western and western persons and organisations.
 
Lukashenko Rival Calls on Belarus Workers to ‘Expand’ Strikes

Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the main challenger to Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko in this month’s disputed elections, has urged workers of state-owned factories to continue striking against state violence and in favor of new elections despite pressure to stop.

Tikhanovskaya’s video address took aim at Lukashenko’s traditionally loyal support base in the wake of strikes at major plants that threatened to shut down production and grind as much as 70% of Belarus’ economy to a halt. Workers have since complained of being threatened with dismissal and in some cases being locked inside factories to prevent them from joining anti-Lukashenko protests.


“You have already shown incredible unity,” Tikhanovskya told the workers of Belaruskali potash manufacturer, Minsk Tractor Works (MTZ), the Grodno Azot fertilizer group and other state-run companies Thursday. “The strikes have squeezed the dictatorship into a corner.”

“The future of Belarus and the future of our children depends on your unity and determination. That’s why I ask you to continue and expand the strikes,” Tikhanovskaya said in a video address.

Belarusian authorities are pressuring and trying to divide the workers, she said, because their strikes “wounded” Lukashenko’s regime “in the heart.”

“Strikes are absolutely legal and powerful weapons against the regime,” she said. “Don’t get bullied. Unite.”

The opposition seeks to stop the violent crackdown on anti-Lukashenko protesters, free political prisoners and hold free and fair elections, political novice Tikhanovskaya said.

Tikhanovskaya’s campaign partner also pledged security guarantees to police officers, troops and investigators “if you come over to the people’s side.”

Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said Thursday that around 360 industrial workers out of 650,000 have staged walkouts.

“All factories in Belarus work as normal, output activity is not lowered anywhere, targets are met,” Golovchenko told state television.

Tikhanovskaya, 37, fled to neighboring Lithuania after claiming victory in the flawed Aug. 9 election whose official results showed an 80% victory for Lukashenko. Lukashenko’s claim of victory sparked the largest demonstrations in Belarus since it gained independence.

A harsh crackdown on peaceful protesters in the days after the vote saw nearly 7,000 demonstrators detained and sparked allegations of abuse and torture at the hands of security services.

Lukashenko, Europe's longest-serving leader, has resisted calls to resign or hold new elections and accuses the opposition of attempting to “seize power.”
 
Two or three teams or Russian reporters, who were sent by Putin, handle Belarusian state-owned channels, as all Belarusian journalists fvcked off a few days ago. Luka admitted that during his talks with factory workers.
 

Kolesnikova was expelled from Zhlobin in disgrace.

So, do you want to say peaceful protesters are neutral or pro-Russian, while violent ones are anti-Russian?
Fleeing to the West doesn't make anybody anti-Russian. If they fled to Russia, these people's lives would still be in danger. Remember what happened to Politkovska, Nemtsov, etc.
Fleeing to Russia would be a sensible option to Babaryka, as he is Putin's man.
Let's assume Babaryka, who is far more pro-Russian than Luka, wins new elections and orders Belarus to merge into Russia. Do you think the Polish government would say the election would be rigged and a Polish hit squad would attempt to poison him with polonium?
