I am interested in learning of his policies, what he said and did, state of the left movement in Belarus as well as position of the country on the world stage and in the eyes of the non-western countries.

    Jews were able to make the world remember [the Holocaust], and the whole world bows to them, being afraid of saying one wrong word to them

    ~ Alexander Lukashenko

    The history of Germany is a copy of the history of Belarus. Germany was raised from ruins thanks to firm authority and not everything connected with that well-known figure Hitler was bad. German order evolved over the centuries and attained its peak under Hitler. This corresponds with our understanding of a presidential republic and the role of a president in it

    ~ Also Alexander Lukashenko

    Doesn’t really have anything to do with his policies, just make sure you factor in that he’s a raging antisemite if you’re deciding whether he’s “based” or not

      I don’t support the sentiments voiced in these quotes, for which I would like to see more context, but we should also remember that he’s allied with the Russian government in fighting genuine swastika-waving genocidal fascists (and the NATO alliance which backs them). Material reality, not opinions alone, are what makes one a fascist.

        You can still be anti-semetic and fight Nazis. Hence the current Russian narrative of “judeo-globalism”, “Soros”, and extreme anti-LGBT sentiment.

        Also I will say that you are not missing any context with those statements. Lukashenko is a known anti-semite in Belarus.
