Lukashenko's Biggest Fan

Lukashenko's biggest supporter speaks her mind about the beloved leader and the opposition.

Belarus began to earn its reputation as Europe's last communist dictatorship in 1996, when Mr Lukashenko used a referendum on constitutional changes to rid himself of an awkward parliament. The new parliament was hand-picked, and the elections to its successor, held in 2000, were widely condemned. The new constitution also strengthened Mr Lukashenko's control over the judiciary.

Both he and his political opponents compare Belarus to Yugoslavia before the fall of his friend, Slobodan Milosevic.

After extending his first term by two years in the 1996 referendum, Lukashenka altered the constitution to allow presidents to serve three or more consecutive terms.
The opposition is denied a single win in the House of Representatives, as well as access to state television.

The security forces in Belarus are used increasingly ruthlessly to crush dissent, and ministers sacked from the government frequently found themselves harassed or jailed. Some disappeared.

Western governments accuse Lukashenko of trampling on democracy and human rights, and take seriously allegations that Belarus organized death squads to get rid of political opponents.

Lukashenko still tells many ordinary Belarussians what they want to hear: the country will have no truck with economic reform, "order" will be maintained, and Belarus will continue to grow closer to Russia.

This video of his biggest fan perfectly illustrates human need to worship something or someone, especially when life is hard. God, Tzar, Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev, Putin, Lukashenko...

@xMaXiMuSx What part of rigging elections and treating your citizens like crap is real democracy? Wait, you may have a point, our politicians suck, but Lukashenko is the bastard love child of Stalin and Hitler.

@xMaXiMuSx And democracy is about free elections, elementar freedoms, many different opinions being respected, not just one man ruling everything (like this ex-communist Lukaschenko)! Really, you are talking about some "bussiness interests" behind the politics. Personally, I don't give a f**k about some bussinessmen lobbists, they do not oppress my elementar rights (like for example freedom of speech), which is something this "great, independent" Lukaschenka certainly would do!

[Olmcz]

@xMaXiMuSx But he's right, my god!! It's obvious! :D Did you ever heard something about elementar politics? Hello! It's left wing, right wing, far right, far left, conservatives, liberals, socialists, centrists, fascists, communists...whole lot of ideologies in the big political spectrum in democratic states. You say just "nonsense, they are the same" but what arguments for this claim do you have?? Leftists and conservatives do make different politics.
