@Wyldstylist why would u say that? do u know what this is about or are u just heart less person who doesn't give a **** about other peoples wellness.???
@Kbabykgirlk Heartless you say? The power should never be removed from our soviet founders , when that happend Russia became a puppetstate for UK and the hated flag of the king was back and its political system too . Nato murder Iraq Aghhanistan and Libya they are nazis on steroids and if you aint blind you should stand behind Lukashenko and wave the red flag USA want to take you back into a hungry and exploited land.
@Kbabykgirlk Being such a traitor for foreign people and trying to mention culture is stupid , we saw how peoples culture was destroyed in Soviet freeborn republics . USA is feeding you with shit the people of belarus dont want aristocrats such as those USA have prepared to torment them .. USA should be free of Roman style fascist Hitler on steroids style dictatorship and step towards socialism.
@Kbabykgirlk you are in support of 5th columnists , only in Vietnam Afghanistan Libya and Iraq USA have killed more than the nazis , Today USA and Nato are nazis on steroids and you are the enemy of all free people for being their lapdog. *shirokaaa strana moia rodnayaa*
@Kbabykgirlk USA is full of genocidal maniacs who supported the agression in Libya and backed al qaeda and bombed neighborhoods. You are backing nazis on steroids..
@Wyldstylist BTW you never answered to my question,why so? or you have no answer? How am I being their lapdog? How can you even be one? I really wanna know, it just so intresting :)
@Kbabykgirlk By spreading the message usa wants you to spread , terrorists attacked Libya and your terrorists tried with belarus but you fail to crush the spirit of socialism and Belarus has no need for IMF or goldman sachs
@Wyldstylist I'm from the United States, and one component of our doctrine of freedom is that not all of us support what our government does. A few bad apples make the whole bag smell bad, but most of the apples are still good. I, for example, am neither genocidal nor no steroids.
@Kbabykgirlk I have stood upon the sand and I have seen a great beast rise up! and on the head of that beast lies salvation , come to spill water upon the sand , come to lead us back ... to a dry and thirsty land :(
NATO not Lukashenko are the threat , nato today are nazis on steroids ... I dont want our fellow Libyans bombed and murdered more by NATO!! Lukashenko should not be Belarus president he should be SOVIET UNION president!!
@Trinivalts haha some was russian and some wasnt...so u couldnt understand a lot unless u are russian than u could do guessing! I can bet ya u didnt!!!! Even some words that russians would understand, giving the fact that it sounds different, person who learns russian wouldnt understand it. Its like Portuguese for people who speak Spanish, but who learns spanish will not hear it the same... ur little of russian wont go far here...
@Trinivalts ok, I can believe that, what I cant believe is that someone who only knows a bit of Russian could easly understand that...its like Russian people that claimed that they can understand Polish when in fact they cant.
@Kbabykgirlk Well, specific story here. As a latvian, I was exposed to alot of russian tv as kid (& still am now) cuz of the general connection to russian via cccp, so I heard alot of russian, but I wasn't ever much interested in learning it, and also all the stuff on tv was boring enough so I mostly heard it because parents watched it. I rarely asked anything, meanings & stuff, and I had german as a secondary foreign instead or rus. So there... that is how i'm a noob, yet have an ear for it.
@Trinivalts being exposed to it, does help, with any language. But I meant if you only know a bit of russian than its not enough to be able to understand Belarusan but if you say its Russian that u could understand, than its possible.Do see what I mean?
@Kbabykgirlk Well, that bit is more concentrated in the basics, which i guess r more similar among directly related languages. I had the same exp when in poland. Even latvian on that level + more archaic terms is kinda similar to russian, (baltic & slavic r the closest indo-euro lang. groups) though alot of it could be a product of the russian empires influence back in the day. (about 2 centuries)
@Kbabykgirlk To put it as short as i can my point is that, even with distantly related languages, but mostly more close ones it's possible to understand at best the topic/at worst some random words, of what's going on. But yeah, kinda pointless at this point cuz I can't demonstrate in any way how much russian I exactly know, anyway. :}
I am enjoying the documentary and am looking forward to watching the remaining parts. Does Lukashenko want to merge Belarus with Russia? His use of Soviet symbols and his imposition of the Russian language would suggest a desire to reconstitute a smaller version of the USSR. But I have not heard that this is something under active consideration.
Belarusian (known back then mostly as "ruski") was the official language of Great Duchy of Lithuania up to end of XVII century. Diplomatic letters from GDL, and since 1569, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to Moscow where mostly written in that language to. In Grand Duchy of Moscow they where calling it "Lithuanian" and translating. Belarusian Is very similar to Russian, but this don't give anybody right to trite it as some funny local dialect of "proper" Russian.
@stator81 actually I checked out the narrator Franak Viacorka's biography online. Both his parents are Belarusian - no Polish blood. His dads a language professor, thats how he speaks Polish. He can also speak Russian and French.
I don't like the flag of Belarus of 1991-1995. It was used by the German puppet government of 1918. Also the pro nazi's Belorussians used it during the 1942-1945 years.
Alexander Lukashenko is a dictator. He is a member of the old stalinist bureaucracy. The youth of Belarus should fight this dictatorship. But they should not use anticommunist flags and nationalist themes. The youth has no future under capitalism. Genuine democratic socialism is needed.
Belarussians and Ukrainians are the real Rus'. We all called ourselves Rusyny and or Rusy, not "ruski". While the Russians at that time called themselves "Moskvytyn". We both called our language Rus'ka Mova not Yazik as the Russians do. Before Peter the Great, not a single person in Moskovia called themselves "Ruskyj". When we were under foreign rule we still called ourselves Rusyny. Moscuvy as russians say, is also Rus', but they never called themselves "people of the rus'".
@ImSoFuckingHandsome We are all brothers, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Russians. We should celebrate the things we have in common and not divide ourselves by our differences.
@Diminisch Says the man who divides himself and the Slavs from the Irish and English. You're not better than a Sunni terrorist-killer, nationalist asshole!!
@MEpianist i never meant to imply that we should divide ourselves by ethnic lines. Just saying that culturally slavs have more in common than different. you have taken my comment way out of context.
I have a question, was Belarus and Ukraine countries from Russia or were they countries before? sorry I don't know much about Eastern Europe history..
European history is confusing, but Belarus and Ukraine and the other counrtries were countries loosely united as Eastern Europe and some parts of cultures overlapped. Imperial Russia controlled but did not rule parts of the countries. When Communisn took over in the 1900's the countries were tied with Russia as the Soviet Union.
@rekrie 1000 years ago Ukraine, Belarus and Russia were one nation called Ruthenians. In 13 century their country - "Rus" was broken by Poles, Lithuanians and Mongols. Then three separate nations have started creating.

@SamMironov Not at all. Slavs are the largest lingustic group in whole Europe but eastern Europe is also Fino-Ugrian countries like Estonia, Hungary and Baltic like Lithuania and Latvia.
так как бол-во в стране являются "памяркоўнымi", то у Батьки сложился устойчивый электорат. и просто ужос как сложно будет его опередить на грядущих выборах.
и у меня вопрос, почему хлопец из ролика гаворыць па-беларуску с польским акцентом? он поляк? и у голоса за кадром та же фигня. или это нацелено на иноязычную аудиторию которая всё равно них*я не поймёт?
мол проникнитесь духом борьбы с ужасным диктатором и почувствуйте как страдает угнетённый народ, да?
@BardLutik Я так думаю, это прополяченный Беларус, надздем. Он наверняка каталик, или имеет польскую кровь, ты знаешь они надздемы: пишут клЯсс, кулямёт учителька и т.д. Ты что не понял?
Why do you speak Belarussian with a Polish accent????? It just doesn't make sense. You want to save this language but you can't even speak it properly?!?! I am confused ...
I was born in Belarus I understand 90% of what he says. My dad is laughing so hard when he watched this, he says this is Belarusian language but with lots of polish thrown in there.
Чо-то этот чел в оранжевом по-моему вообще на польском балакает. Ничо не понятно: жи-ши сплошное. Всех остальных понятно хорошо. Почти один в один украинский.
An extremely moving and interesting movie. I did not know that Belarusian language was almost-persecuted to such an extent. There is no "mistery" about the guy: it is well known that in Belarus there is a big Polish minority. The guy on the film has maybe a father with Polish ancestry and a Belarusian mother (who is even shown later in the film). The rest of people speak Belarusian.
I didnt watch all parts, where does it state the Language was persectuted, its considered the national langue still (alongside Russian), The president himself speaks a mix of Russian and Belarusian.
Whatever Belarus people do, they should never allow their country to become banana republic or install a puppet regime the way Serbs, Ukrainians and Georgians did.
Once you go this way, there's no coming back.
Yes, there are cats in America, too, and the streets are not paved with cheese. ;-)
Thats I think is what hits the nail on the head. Its what they are all looking to avoid, they see what a mess Ukraine has become, and this represents the "west" influence. I dont blame them for wanting to keep things stable and as they were.
What's amazing is that Gene Sharp's doctrine of nonviolent resistance which Otpor applied specifically states that revolutionary movements should not allow the interference of a foreign country because it will most certainly exploit the opportunity or it can backfire if the regime makes a deal with a foreign patron and, yet, US always gets involved and the proponents of nonviolent resistance stay mum about it.
Belarus and Russia should be in a union but still speak their own languages like most countries in EU, still have their cultures. Lukashenko is slowing everyone down and the only people that support him are old people who lived all their life under communist law and people who have never been out of Belarus to see what the western world is like. Sure he has done some good but Belarusian people need and deserve better!
so you are saying everybody is ganging up on poore lukashenko even russians themselves. i like russians but they are way too big of a nation to play these petty games. poland discriminated agains balarussians and their language befor the war. lukashenko seems to be doing the same today. freedom to all. all russians in post soviet countries and other small minorities.
in poland we have about 200,000 belarussians and about 50,000 of them speak balarussian as a first language. 8000 balarussian kids go to schools with balarussian language. nobody should be discriminated against. who wants to speak russian, balarussian or polish should be allowed to do so.
In 1995 Belarusan people democratically voted for their native langiage -- Russian to become a state language and reverted the real state symbols of Belarus, not the crap that was used by "BNR" and Nazists.
In the beginning of the 20th century no one from "Belarusians" considered themselves as a separate ethnicity or nationality. Soviets were those who carried out Belarusization and created this nationality and its statehood.
In Belarus no one normally speaks Belarusian, as it is a constructed language -- a mix of the White Russian dialect of Russian and the Polish language.
Yes Vadim - he's speaking polish in the beginning of the film because he speaks to de director who is polish..... A lot of people in Belarus can speak polish aswell. It's very similar.
Same silly stuff about language,like with Croatian Spring,though more money going to Croatia with that event was understandable,the whining about the Croatian language durring that event was silly.
Belarusian is an independant language and it was used as administrative and formal language in the Lithuanion union. The first Bible in Eastern Europe was printed in Belarusian language.
Ой, почувстуете вы себя в Южной Африке, Америки, Европе или России. Будут вас чёрные бить и будете вы бежать, а новое дерьмократическое правительство будет это поддерживать.
Дураки вы все. Не дай Бог Белoрусия станет "свободной, толерантной и демократической" страной. Ой, познаете вы ребятки все прелести мультикультурного общества.
Niesamowicie wartościowy film. Aż trudno sobie wyobrazić. Moment ze śniegiem jest chyba kluczową perypetią- taka biała euforia. Fascynujące, a takie nieznane..
Nie, żebym miał coś przeciwko :) ale trochę śmieszy mnie to narodowewyzwoleństwo. W dodatku zrobione dość amatorsko. Mam nadzieję, że jest w tym jakaś autoironia i nie chcecie być jakimś żałosnym Iwanem Franko (Wieczny Rewolucjonista!!! ach!), tylko zdolnym Szewczenkiem (no.. Vasilem Bykauem ;) żeby nie robić z Białorusinów Ukraińców). W tym jest taka młodość, niedojrzałość i to lepsza od polskiej. To cały białoruski smaczek. Film bardzo mi się podoba.

Whatever Belarus people do, they should never allow their country to become banana republic or install a puppet regime the way Serbs, Ukrainians and Georgians did.
Once you go this way, there's no coming back.

Thats I think is what hits the nail on the head. Its what they are all looking to avoid, they see what a mess Ukraine has become, and this represents the "west" influence. I dont blame them for wanting to keep things stable and as they were.

What's amazing is that Gene Sharp's doctrine of nonviolent resistance which Otpor applied specifically states that revolutionary movements should not allow the interference of a foreign country because it will most certainly exploit the opportunity or it can backfire if the regime makes a deal with a foreign patron and, yet, US always gets involved and the proponents of nonviolent resistance stay mum about it.

Belarus and Russia should be in a union but still speak their own languages like most countries in EU, still have their cultures. Lukashenko is slowing everyone down and the only people that support him are old people who lived all their life under communist law and people who have never been out of Belarus to see what the western world is like. Sure he has done some good but Belarusian people need and deserve better!

in poland we have about 200,000 belarussians and about 50,000 of them speak balarussian as a first language. 8000 balarussian kids go to schools with balarussian language. nobody should be discriminated against. who wants to speak russian, balarussian or polish should be allowed to do so.

In 1995 Belarusan people democratically voted for their native langiage -- Russian to become a state language and reverted the real state symbols of Belarus, not the crap that was used by "BNR" and Nazists.
Glebchik 2 years ago
In the beginning of the 20th century no one from "Belarusians" considered themselves as a separate ethnicity or nationality. Soviets were those who carried out Belarusization and created this nationality and its statehood.

In Belarus no one normally speaks Belarusian, as it is a constructed language -- a mix of the White Russian dialect of Russian and the Polish language.

Nie, żebym miał coś przeciwko :) ale trochę śmieszy mnie to narodowewyzwoleństwo. W dodatku zrobione dość amatorsko. Mam nadzieję, że jest w tym jakaś autoironia i nie chcecie być jakimś żałosnym Iwanem Franko (Wieczny Rewolucjonista!!! ach!), tylko zdolnym Szewczenkiem (no.. Vasilem Bykauem ;) żeby nie robić z Białorusinów Ukraińców). W tym jest taka młodość, niedojrzałość i to lepsza od polskiej. To cały białoruski smaczek. Film bardzo mi się podoba.
