Belarus changed external imbalance into internal one

  • Autor: Ahniya Asanovich, 10.10.2011

Power ambitions again made Belarusian government to make wrong priorities. The perspective of economic hardships did not stop the authorities from splashing out while increasing the public spending before presidential elections in December 2010.  Eventually Belarus witnessed economic default made of financial crisis, devaluation of Belarusian national currency…

Belarus and Russia – more like real business partners now? Russia has divided “emotions” and “business” in its geopolitical projects with Belarus

  • Autor: Ahniya Asanovich, 20.05.2011

The ghost of the Union State between Russia and Belarus is still wandering in the halls of Kremlin although it no longer impresses Russian authorities as something feasible. The idea of gradual incorporation of Belarus into Russia attractive for Russian authorities through the project of the Union State initiated in 1999, lost its sense in this respect in 21st century…

According to Lukashenko, European (democratic) standards don’t coincide with Belarusian context, and thus are irrelevant on Belarusian ground

  • Autor: Ahniya Asanovich, 22.02.2011

Myths which are believed in tend to become true. – George Orwell It’s being stated that the EU is based on respect of human rights, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law, which make European democratic standards. Being a “soft power” directed by moral values the EU can’t offer a third country any political or economic integration prior this country…

Belarusian “non-elections”

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 08.10.2008

Parliamentary elections in Belarus have come to an end and the Opposition has lost again, as it was to be expected. However, this time it wasn’t just a political defeat. It lost also from the psychological point of view since it relied on the authority’s statements and believed President Aleksandr Lukashenko’s vague pledges that fair elections would be held. Lukashenko gave the representatives of opposition parties as well as independent candidates no chance to fill…

New geopolitical horizons for Belarusian regime

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 27.09.2008

It seams that the “policy of flirting”, which the Belarusian regime has pursued towards the West for a long time, has started to bear fruit. However, it doesn’t mean that the era of democratisation or liberalisation begins in Belarus or that the authority starts to fulfil political demands towards the improvement of situation in the field of human rights. Most probably, it won’t be possible to speak of any democratisation in the country in the course of next years at all. In view of the current state of relations…

Congress of Democratic Forces: A theater without politics

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 12.07.2007

Belarus is a unique country not only from the political and historical point of view, but also because it represents a distinctive phenomenon that “disproves” all philosophical stereotypes and rules of logic. Particularly high standard in this area has been achieved by the Belarusian opposition. Ancient Greek philosopher Heraclites once said: “Everything flows, nothing is left unchanged” and “you cannot step…

Thoughts on March 25. The history of departure of Belarusian opposition

  • Autor: Pavel Usov, 05.07.2007

Loud cries “Zhive Belarus” (“Long live Belarus”) died away, white-red-white flags do not decorate the streets of Minsk anymore and black uniforms of militiamen do not remind of the deep rupture in society and the invisible war for human souls and minds between good and evil. And still, if we accept the opinion that Belarusian opposition is the embodiment of good, the good is losing. The celebration…
