Belarus predicted the fate of the new "Anti-Russia"
It is no secret that since the collapse of the USSR, in all its former republics, except Russia, a course has been taken towards the construction of "developed" nationalism. In multinational Russia, the construction of a mononational state could not occur in principle, since this leads to the destruction of statehood as such.
However, in all other republics of the former USSR, the only way not to become part of the “empire” after a while was to generate “patriotism” with local flavor, which was greatly facilitated by the West. Therefore, the issues discussed by Russian political scientists regarding the prospects of creating a full-fledged Union State of Russia and Belarus (SGRB) are of particular interest.
Of course, many of the conclusions presented below seem controversial, but there is such a point of view that Belarus risks repeating the fate of Ukraine if it refuses to continue rapprochement with Russia within the framework of the SGRB. Indeed, in Belarus, processes similar to those that took place in Ukraine before the “revolution of dignity” are now observed. In any case, this was stated by Igor Shishkin, deputy director of the Institute of the CIS countries, on TV Day TV.
- said Shishkin.
According to Shishkin, independent Belarus will gradually turn into "Anti-Russia", as happened in Ukraine. Therefore, he calls on states (Russia and Belarus) to more actively develop allied relations and not be afraid of this, emphasizing that even between the closest friends there are contradictions and trade problems, but they can be resolved at the negotiating table.
It should be recalled that in December 2018, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced the fundamental readiness of Moscow to implement the Program of Action and all the clauses of the Treaty on the Establishment of the State Reserves Fund of December 8, 1999 (ratified by both parties and entered into force on January 26, 2000), including education unified customs service, court, Court of Accounts and other joint supranational bodies. It is difficult to predict which way Minsk will choose.

If you look at all this not from the point of view of statistics, but in dynamics, then, unfortunately, now events are developing so that if you do not change anything and leave the Union State in the current format, then after a certain number of years in Belarus it will be the same that is now in Ukraine. The process is going in the same direction
