In August, when crowds of hundreds of thousands gathered in Minsk under white-red-white banners, I already wrote about my attitude towards this symbol. In short, the story is short and inglorious every time. Two occupations and the “dashing 90s”. Such is the Belarusian sign of trouble. Almost 4 months have passed since then.
