    Is that true that the candidate of the opposition was jailed before the election and his wife took over the position, who is now in Lithuania.

    What was this story with the rassan paramilitary guys?
    They wanted to show that the current regime can handle the rassans so they throwed in some guys they can arrest?

    It was fucking weird on many levels especially that some of the recording included the faces of the captured "soldiers".

      If the riots are successful, it will inspire Russians as well (the sentiment is similar at the moment + Putin's rating is at all time low, I think)

      I hope it happens

      • The problem with Russia is that they still see themselves as a savior of the world, and they will elect anyone who promises to regain their superpower statusdrgs
      • More likely Putin will stay in power next 15-20 years, then AI version of Putin will take over.yuekit
      • Its a country with a big collective ego, but full of inferiority complexes. All they need to do is to realize that they are "one of many"drgs

      • As for Putin: He did nothing of what he promised to do in early 2000s and did everything what he specifically promised not to do (change the constitution)drgs
      • I think he means well, and is trying to do something, but he now appears as a stuttering, insecure, weak figure. His time is updrgs

      ok, it needs its own thread.

      This is where it's located.

      This is the president of Belarus for the last 26 years who faked his 80% exit poll few days ago

      Today is the third day the riots go on it doesn't look like it will slow down any time soon. Internet is completely disabled in Belarus

      and I was born in Belarus too, but have been living in the US since 1991

      Жыве Беларусь!!
