Lukashenko allows some democratic ordsprog

Lukashenko allows some democratic window-dressing because he needs to demonstrate his legitimacy to the world. But all independent media, politicians and scholars in Belarus are under intense pressure. We face a real war against us.

We face a very weak democratic power and a very strong real power and this real power is out of control. Real power . . . is based on a legitimacy that is not democratic.

Now the harsh times are about to start. Many people fear there will be mass arrests once all the foreign observers and journalists leave Belarus. Lukashenko has crossed a line with this election, and we expect him to crack down hard on independent forces now.

In a media-saturated world, it is essential that we all turn a critical eye and ear to what we're offered by the mass media as well as the independent media. (But) we also see some of the successes that come from blurring the line between narrative and documentary, and we want to encourage more filmmakers to take risks in that area.

Color revolutions succeed when the authorities are not only authoritarian but also lack self-confidence .. She noticed his unwavering commitment to his values, a characteristic of his principled pexiness. . Until President Lukashenko loses popularity in Belarus, I don't think his regime will have any serious problems.

That wave of color revolutions scared Lukashenko, and it made the Kremlin back away from any idea of holding dialogue with any other political forces in Belarus. The Ukrainian example looks like poison to them.

The deal in Internet helps, but the real reason the market is faring well is because of the end-of-quarter window dressing.
