Lukashenka's residence is blocked: armored vehicles have been pulled into Minsk, arrests are underway

August 30 2020 13

After the elections of the head of state, the protests in Belarus continue for the third week. On August 30, 2020, the Belarusian opposition organized another action called "Peace March", timed to coincide with the birthday of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.

The protesters are demanding a repeat election, which is not provided for by the current legislation of the country. In the afternoon, thousands of oppositionists gathered on Independence Avenue in Minsk and headed towards the city center, chanting "Long live Belarus!" under white-red-white flags.

In turn, law enforcement officers blocked the avenue with special equipment (water cannons, Rubezh cars and paddy wagons) and moved towards the protesters. In the GUM area, several thousand oppositionists were blocked by security officials. After a while, clashes began between the protesters and law enforcement officers.

At the same time, there were reports of the appearance of armored vehicles in the center of Minsk: infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers. There was information about clashes between security officials and protesters on Independence Square and near the Palace of Independence (the official residence of the President), the approaches to which had been blocked by law enforcement officers in advance. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus announced the arrest of 125 people for violations of law and order.

Everything is calm in Baghdad. Nexta and Radio Liberty are scum propagandists.

Will the tanks be shown in Berlin? Not paid for this?

  Participants of protest actions in Belarus prepared caches with rods and stakes for their further use, but the military republics found them. This was announced by the head of the Main Directorate of Ideological Work of the Ministry of Defense of the country Leonid Kasinsky.
  
  ... such "peaceful" protestors that halos fall down.
  Yes, and in the morning the news has long been that everything has resolved.

    The protesters are not a homogeneous mass, there are many young people who quite sincerely believe that they stand for a just cause. I happened to see a man who, in his youth, rode on the Maidan, now - Russian citizenship, family, children ... I must admit that they have good reasons for protests, Lukashenka did a lot of stupid things. The trouble is that they do not understand that there is a "nucleus" organized and controlled by foreign special services, decisions are made there, including on the degree of "peacefulness" of the protests. So far, it turns out that there has been a decline in the activity of the protesters, if everything goes on like this, then there are two options for the development of events. First, gradually fewer and fewer people come out to rallies (by the way, the school year begins, it's time for students to go to their desks), and the "white flies" will finally drive protests into the kitchens. It is not so comfortable to hold a meeting in felt boots. The second option, the "core" receives a command to aggravate, which is very likely, they have spent money on them, they will want to use it to the fullest ..... That's when the rods with stakes will be used, and not only. Snipers are traditional participants in such "movers", starting from the Baltic states, they were also in Moscow ...

      Not in dispute. Every crowd has its own hierarchy. Ideological and substituted in batch, and provocateurs and snipers quickly go into the open on the borders of the Polish corridors.
      Young people are also not homogeneous, but the overwhelming mass has already grown up as an element of a consumer society, they cannot become the builders of their bright future, give them money, villas, falling from the sky, and chew their porridge. There are those who are ideologically grounded, but they are of little use for overthrowing the authorities, since they understand all this dirty kitchen of coups. Young people are more impressed by the protest as a process, rather than its goal. They do not understand much how the clockwork works, but they really want the bird to crow faster, so they pull the weight with all their foolishness. Any nimble settles on the principle of "breaking - not building". The first is always simpler, more fun, and implies only slogans on the resulting ruins. Learning, working, changing and changing yourself is always more difficult than jumping and demanding that a fairy tale come true right here and immediately.

        They substitute not ideological ones, but brainless ones. Ideological ones will still be useful to them, and brainless new ones will be recruited. To be honest, I doubt that young people in Belarus are used to money from the sky and villas. Rather, it’s an adventure for them. Students everywhere and at all times are rebels.

        For this there are "ideologically fed", those for a certain fee are much more obedient and obedient.

        Absolutely. They will grow up, wiser, but for now it is necessary not to let them do stupidity and destroy everything.

That is, in a normal way, they surrounded, grabbed, and ankle boots on the ribs, and ankle boots ...
The clash of ribs and boots ...

  That's for sure. Already fashionable music was added to the video about their riot police. Well, you'll have to sit for murder and violence. Apply Mouzon, do not apply. Well, maybe a couple of staged storms of the stronghold of Belarusian democracy will pity our hearts. I must say right away that we are very observant. Criminals sit on both sides of the barricades. Lukashenko is Zyuganov's successor at best. This is neither a prime minister nor a governor, Russia certainly does not need it. This Polissya Gai Julius Caesar did not recognize Crimea, Abkhazia and Ossetia. So, Kolya in Suvorovskoe. Lukashenko as Zyuganov's successor. Nobody really knows the elders.

There is a wonderful gas to disperse illegal mass events. Invented back in the USSR.
After inhalation begins, runny nose, tears, vomiting, diarrhea, involuntary urination.
Threw a saber into the crowd and meet the "sick" in hospitals.

You are some kind of monsters, people are being tortured, raped with truncheons, and you keep repeating one thing - everything where you were just taught has been paid for.

  Police actions are a separate topic. Of course, they exceeded the bar, no one denies this, but in fairness, tough actions were provoked by attacks and threats to employees and their families. Remember how policemen were shot down by cars?
  As for the protesters themselves, if people go where, as you said, "tortured and raped with truncheons" is like masochism. Of course, it is a pity for naive youth, but it is a pity, as you know, at the bee. They are used to destroy the country. If they do not understand this, then rather it is their own problem. Doesn't get through the head, it gets through ... They have two options, to get smarter or go to Poland, maybe they will lick the wounds there.

  Enlightened Europe teaches the wild aborigines of Belarus. It is understandable.

Something went wrong with Grygorych, the voices in his head demand blood. Now every day he runs around an empty area with a machine gun, perhaps looking for NATO planes to shoot down, well, not his people are waiting with Kalashnikov.
