Moscow will not allow an anti-Russian sabbath in Belarus - Colonel of the Russian Armed Forces
Despite the fact that in Belarus initially there is no such deep and rabid Russophobia as in Ukraine, this country can still follow the path of anti-Russian Maidans.
Russian military expert, reserve colonel Vladimir Trukhan stated this on the PolitWera Internet channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“As a percentage of Russophobes in Belarus, I don’t think it’s an overwhelming number. There is no deep, basic Russophobia in Belarus.
But this could result in the same thing as in Ukraine. There was more of this in Ukraine, because the Western diaspora has always been strong there. That was enough...
Belarus is more monolithic in terms of mentality than Ukraine. And there are no these tough Western things, such as the UPR. No matter how much they push the idea of the Belarusian People's Republic, it doesn't really take off. And the red and white flag was simply localized as a flag of protest against Lukashenko, but not as the historical flag of the BPR.
The Zmagars there did not receive such active support from the population as the nationalists in Ukraine,” he said.
The channel's presenter noted that the same thing happened in Ukraine before the 2014 coup. Vladimir Trukhan agreed with her and added that the result could be similar.
“You tell people that you are moving towards us being demolished to the cemetery ahead of time. “No, everything will be different for us. Because this is us." Why do you think so? You are splitting the nation, narrowing the use of the Russian language, and preventing people from living in a normal language environment. You provoke nationalism.
How are they those who spoke for these republics in Donbass were pressed. Such press addressed to the same Protasevich it wasn’t - he went to Azov normally and arrived normally. And until he said “meow” against Lukashenko and went to Poland, he suited you.
You were playing with this, you wanted to make friends with the rattlesnake. But it turned out that she bites anyone, anyone, whenever she wants. Everything is the same there,” the expert noted.
He is confident that now Russia, taught by bitter experience, will not allow a Russophobic coup in a neighboring country.
“The simple fact is that they were late with the creation of all these Right Sectors and other things. There is such a hope that our people will not allow all this b#@@t to develop, because they have already seen that complacency leads to nothing.
In 2014, along the borders of Ukraine, the entire grouping of the Armed Forces was reduced, it did not exist. As it turned out, in vain. Our people thought for a long time that this was an internal matter and there was no need to interfere in it. As it turned out, in vain.
If anyone now thinks that Belarus is now left to the Belarusians themselves, I applaud this naivety,” Trukhan concluded.
