The opposition media only proudly recorded that the rally participants cleaned up the trash after themselves. The rally is like...
The Belarusian protest, where there are no designated leaders and a clear understanding of what the fight is for, in the event of the overthrow of the government, will turn the state into another black hole like Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya, which promises difficulties for neighboring countries as well.

Residents of Belarus, who go to rallies where the ringleaders and instigators are people with red and white flags of Hitlerite collaborators, naively believe that their country will avoid the fate of Ukraine.

The situation with protests in Belarus is developing according to the logic of similar coups - from the experience of the Kyiv Euromaidan it is known that now the crowd must be provoked into a new round of unrest - and for this, most likely, new victims will appear.

The Belarusian authorities announced the release of those arrested during the protests. Alexander Lukashenko instructed to investigate the facts of the detentions, and the head of the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yuri Karaev, apologized to those affected by the actions of his subordinates.

Be like water! “The protest tactics, in which security forces are scattered throughout the city and are forced to constantly frantically move in search of groups of peaceful demonstrators, have proven to be extremely successful.
