The Belarusian Maidan will smolder for a long time, periodically exploding - political scientist
It is time for the Belarusian authorities and elites to realize their own guilt in what is happening in the country around protest movements, which are beginning to take on a long-term character.
Russian political scientist Dmitry Evstafiev stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Completely predictably, the Belarusian “opposition” (it is only a shadow of the opposition, which is clearly not responsible for its actions) has slipped into Russophobia, and the appearance of Shushkevich is completely no coincidence. I think Zenon Poznyak will make his mark; as far as I remember, he was in America.
But what did Shushkevich say that some Belarusian officials did not say at an event like the Minsk Dialogue? Where the entire Belarusian political elite ran half-bent in order to show their respect to the EU and where they were very reluctant to invite Russian guests, so that they would not hear anything, with the exception of the most trusted people.
Therefore, I think that the main thing the Belarusian political elite and government can do is to realize their own guilt in these events, their own mistakes,” the expert said.
“Because - yes, all this is Poland, all this is Lithuania. I think we underestimate the role of Poland and overestimate the role of the United States. Yes, there are probably some nasty field workers there, but still. By the way, the British could have been there. But to say that all this arose through external manipulation is not serious.
In this regard, the second thesis. You can’t hope that it will burn out on its own. This shapeless soup - what does one of the protests we've seen lately look like? In my opinion, most of all on the “yellow vests”.
Incomprehensible people, without special leaders, the political program is “Lego”, it can be rebuilt every day. The same.
But these people have no political program at all. The economic program of beautiful Belarus in the new world is generally a complete economic desert without a chance.
This broth can bubble for a very long time, having periodic crisis bursts with blood through very little funding,” said Evstafiev.
