«Dear Mr. President, as a writer and a voter, I want to ask you some questions, which worries many Belarusians.
What's happening to us? After December 19 we live in another country. You open the morning newspaper or the Internet, or turn on your television: the arrests of protesters, detention KGB former presidential candidates, night hunting for the secret services of opposition activists and dissident intellectuals. Long queues outside the prison in Akrestsin to transfer ...
We're back in the 30's Stalin years. A little more and show trials begin. Trained crowd would shout: "Crucify him!" because he's better than us. Former colleagues and friends will be traitors, students will bring their professors, and professors will bring their students. Teachers of their students.
society is split. There is no one in Belarus, already two of Belarus.
you is not scared?
I was a witness in the hospital crying two mothers. Two tormented life of the village women. One son - a policeman, the other - from the opposition. From the same village. One writer, when I told him him about it, gleefully shouted: "Our lads gave a good cops! Their blood was flowing!" And your Minister proudly reported: the "cleansing" took seven and a half minutes.
Who made us fight each other? One rejoices blood. The other is fighting their own people. And the army - at the ready.
'll never believe ... And the history you do not believe that the area came out "bandits, terrorists and thugs," and stood at the head of the conspirators - former Your opponents - former presidential candidate. There was a lot of my friends and acquaintances. I know that they went to the area of conviction. In vain today that detectives looking for something in their apartments. Ideas in their heads, not in the safe. Are you looking for dollars and find the diehard revolutionaries.
This was an area of Despair. And if you hold the trial area, then we should all be confident that they were honest elections. And the honest numbers.
Also, we still do not know what was actually near the Government House. Was it the assault or provocation? Who needed this picture on TV?
I've never been your supporter, but also in the revolution, too, do not believe it. Even the fear of chaos of the crowd. I'm for the evolutionary path. And our people are afraid of revolution. But live in the old no one wants. Before the election, the society has just begun a political dialogue, and you immediately cut short his rigidly. Again paralyzed the country fear. It's a shame to see on television frightened faces of your officials. And they are, this is my writer's guess, I hope they think. And the nation thinks. And officials of betraying their rulers before anyone else. Staying on top of power, you know this better than me. And do not be deceived that the nation is not in the street. Smarter than people today and power and still not very experienced opposition.
you believe in the force, I believe - in a word. The authorities and people should talk to each other. And while we're talking through a window at Akrestsin. Someone who thinks otherwise is clubbed on the head. And we would be together to talk, think, think. And our past. And about the future.
You promised that will cover Internet (strange as it sounds in the 21 century!). Began to intimidate the newspaper. A cauldron of life seething. What is it cooked - no one knows. The valve should be opened. Give people say. Open public debate. On television, there must be many opinions, not one. Fear - a bad guide ...
Let us learn to live together. While no one knows. But we need to keep the peace in our home.
you won ... Your model of the Belarusian socialist "work today. And many made reflect on the potential of socialism. And we, your opponents, too. I say this because I want to be honest, do not succumb to emotional struggle. I am afraid that in this mutual hatred, we can lose is that more of us - Belarus.
We all remember that Yeltsin did in 1991 when the defeated coup. He released all of its political opponents in prison. And he began to talk to them. And it saved the country from division. Maybe even a civil war.
in history are not heroes "sweeps" and those who are wise and generous.
... And like you we celebrate Christmas?
