this post is devoted to the situation in Belarus
please read, it's important. I feel that everyone cared and cared about Black Lives Matter matter, not only people from the USA. it's fair but why doesn't anyone from my feed say anything about Belarus? do you think that there problems aren't related to your life? maybe, but pay attention to other people too
in a nutshel: unjust election in Belarus led to riots, meetings among citizens. these people doesn't have any weapons and just try to claim that they want justice, that they have their own choice. but they are killed anyway.
many people are dying. people who did nothing bad or wrong. they were just unlucky that someone shot them while they were in the streets.
all information about that is available. there are photos, videos. the problem is that it's mostly on Russian or Belarusian.
what's more (and scarier): Internet in Belarus isn't working. all networks, providers were blocked. people try to use VPN services, but not all of them are working and not everyone can even find the connection to download a VPN app. and what does mean? people can't talk with their friends, learn about what is happening right now. they are scared and alone. they afraid of leaving houses because they can be killed. even if they are just walking outside.
it isn't secret that I'm Russian. so I know many people from Belarus, I understand what is happening. but do you know what is shown on Russian TV? on TV they tell us that nothing bad is going on, the election was fair and people who protests against its results are ukranians and poles (because they do that to destroy Belarusian state system). yeah, it sounds like they are nuts but it's just a Russian propaganda
so, as I have said, pay attention to some "small" countries too. maybe they don't have anyone to help them
Friendly reminder that Belarus still has death sentence, so you totally can push Lukashenko into a cannon and yeet him off to Russia.
Also, keep an eye on the news - Lithuanians will be recreating the Baltic Way in support of Belarus and it's pissing Sasha off ;)
this man, his words and manners remind me of one austrian painter 🙂
