Belarus: "Jeans revolution" against elections fraud

Polish TV on 2006 elections in Belarus. Belarusian officials claim the incumbent Lukashenko, in president's office since 1994, got 82.6% of votes while 3 candidates from opposition together ca. 12%. Civilized world deemed the elections rigged, while Russia and Iran congratulated the incumbent. Many thousands of Belarusian people went out on the streets of Minsk to protest against lies and dictatorship.
Demonstration was smashed by the riot police and many activists were put to jail.
In the video: riot police beating up women and old people, parents waiting to see their children in jail, Belarusian TV propaganda accusing the opposition, tent camp of the opposition youth in the centre of Minsk, people shouting "hanba"(disgrace)

btw "sovietstalingirl88" what kind of nick is that? Communist, Georgian, pro-nazi, Russian? Hmmm...I wonder where would be Your freedom of speech (albeit restricted)if Hitler reached Moscow, or if USA (which you apparently dislike so much) wouldn't send you military equipment all the time.

2 michalm2: i´m afraid you are wasting your time arguing with a Russian with (1)"sovok" mentality that has (2) the "Russian supremacy" phobia. i met a few of such "artifacts", they are hopeless. best regards, anyway ;)

[glamourgipsy]

wow. i am sometimes amazed how brain-washed some Russians are. re: Paris & London. too obvious you´ve never been there (maybe as russo turisto?), cuz Russians living there would probably think u r a xenopobic idiot.

I'd say death to neo-tzarate and Moscow por petty attempts to suck everything of value from its neighbours. As always all-powerful russians try (or their "benevolent" leaders) to live of someone elses' hard work. Hands off Belarus, it's their county and their future they want to decide!

[glamourgipsy]

i agree

[polaka03]

Poland supports free Belarus!!! Unfortunately no-one can rid you of Lukaszenko. You need to do it yourself. All the best!

Yeah, right, so as forced Catholisation and Polonisation of my people.

Backward nation? Well, I didn't expect better expression than that, oh, "wise polish master"... you always treated us like shit.

Now, as I said, bugger off Lach. No one needs your advises and comments.

[GaullistFan]

@GaullistFan

Hands off my country Lach!

@jakaput

There is no discrepancy between russian, lithuanian and western historians about this. There was no history fabricated under the communist rule. They either striked out from curriculum (what they didn't like) or interpreted differently with valid arguments.

Belarus people just want to clean up the mess in their country. Other evil forces are trying to take advantage of that.

[jakaput]

It is now. But how about before Stalin gave it all away?

[jakaput]

ok. so if Grand Duchy was always lithuanian, please expliane to me why the official language was rithuarian? Anyways it's pointlesse to debate with you. The history was heavily distorted by russians and it was profitable for lithuanians. Please try to read sources that are either russian or lithuinian. But then again even wester historians base their research on russians theories.
