Telegram three dots-three dashes-three dots. Lukashenko and his interview with Russial media on September 8, 2020. A brief review.
Interview given on September 8, 2020 - a month after the elections. We were able to find the full text only on the website https://russian.rt.com/ussr/article/781543-lukashenko-intervyu-polnyi-tekst?utm_source=smi2.
The content of the interview itself is not that important. Its subtext is important. 'We have forgotten all the bad things. We consider Lukashenko the winner in the August 2020 elections. Know everybody about it! "
The composition of the media brigade is interesting - its leader and its members. Why is composition important? Because the interview should not contain the words: "falsification (of elections)", "political terrorism", "torture", "usurpation of power", "despotism", "dictatorship" and similar ones from this range of meanings.
(These words were not used in the interview).
On the contrary, the words 'brotherhood,' etc. should be heard. (The word "brother" sounded. "Brotherhood" - we did not find it ... We liked it. The fact that the word "brotherhood" (and derived words) were not included in the interview demonstrates an element of sincerity. Brotherhood looks a little strange if one brother sees how the other brother is being tortured and does not protest. And later they change places? And the pleasant process will continue? ..).
(In the interview, the word 'Telegram-channel' was said about 10 times).
The content of the interview is secondary or tertiary, if we assume that the subtext is primary. Perhaps this explains the inconsistency, the unsystematic character of the interview.
There is no point in commenting on all the statements. Often these are separate, slang words, the meaning of which you need to guess ..
The main thing is - they are arrived. They showed respect, did not say rude, bad words, admitted the fact of being elected (of Lukashenko) ...
We set out some comments below (we believe that both these statements and these comments are secondary, tertiary). But in the process of reading, we wrote something, so we present to those who are interested. If someone is not interested, we are not offended ...
1) Is it cold or hot at Putin (in the office? Where?) - the sides remained with own opinions. But they know whether cold or hot ... (But, nevertheless ... We are people of the same circle ... Even about of the same, equal level ...).
2) Next - who is trying to influence ... Everything is clear here, traditionally ...
3) Coordination Council ... "who they are - I swear to you, I do not know." [unofficial translation] Sounds, at first glance, I am sorry, stupid. But the meaning is something like this. The coordinating council has no powers; I don't want to negotiate with the opposition and I will not ... (Our comment. Lukashenko has powers. They are based on the protocol of the election commission with true figures. The protocol was signed by honest people who care to reveal the will of the voters, and not about the keeping Lukashenko in power).
4) 'SIMONIAN:... can you tell us in more detail what happened to Maria Kolesnikova? Where's she?
LUKASHENKO: ... today they fled to Ukraine. (...) She was either thrown out of the car - well, on the move. On the move.
SIMONYAN, BABAYAN: They themselves?
LUKASHENKO: Yes. Well, the three of them were there, who could throw her away? (...)... She was detained... '. [unofficial translation]
5) Next comes the topic of economics. Our opinion: Alexander Lukashenko does not understand (or understands, but does not want to speak publicly) that Russia lives on a raw material pie. Belarus do efforts to be included in the number of consumers of this raw material pie. But the pie is getting smaller and smaller. A Russial resident is taxed, counters, fines [A Russial resident is under surrounding, is under pressing by taxes, counters, fines ... ] ... - only he, this average Russial resident, ate as little as possible from this pie ... Under these conditions, another (additional) pie consumer has little chance, few opportunities, few prospects ...
6) 'We have another very serious body - this is the All-Belarusian People's Assembly,' the congress of the Belarusian people '- as it is called. It is held once every five years, and it will most likely take place in December, at least after the New Year and Christmas holidays, in January. December - January. (...)... We will even be able to prescribe some of our actions in terms of timeframe - right up to the presidential elections, if this is very necessary. " [unofficial translation] Our comment: This already smells like Venezuela. There Maduro, in addition to parliament, convened something like a constituent assembly ...
7) Courts ... It is necessary to change the procedure for appointing judges ... About jury trials - not a word ...
8) 'LUKASHENKO: (...) Well, you can see for yourself that these campaigns are controlled by Telegram channels. (...) In the next meeting, this was two thirds of women. Most likely, students came, female students, two thirds of women.
SIMONYAN: Yes, we know how it works, Alexander Grigorievich. We all understand this perfectly well, this is not the first such ...
LUKASHENKO: And the peculiarity is that our men began to hide behind women and children. But only in our country it was 75-80 years ago, when the Nazis let women go forward, while hiding behind them. " [unofficial translation]
(Our comment. Fascists, that is, Nazis, can be fired upon without formal proceedings and without warning. With using live ammunition [war ammunition].).
9) 'Well, how can you expect that through this Internet and Telegram channels they will get so deep into the brains, into the heads of people? People are crazy. Some people are just crazy. " [unofficial translation]
10) 'We have a large resource - water in Croatia and we have ... In Belarus and Croatia, according to the UN, the cleanest water. (...)
BABAYAN: When you come to Zagreb, they say: don't drink from the tap, just in case. They probably don't know, Croats.
LUKASHENKO: Maybe, maybe. Everything is different there. Therefore ... Forests. We have more than 40% of the country's forest cover. Therefore, we also developed woodworking. Because it is our own raw material. Because there are no forests south of Kiev. And everyone needs furniture, furniture production. (...) " [unofficial translation]
(Our commentary: Water and forest (forest cover). Lukashenko's attention to these topics makes a positive impression ... Although the topics are haphazardly presented, without specific numbers that can characterize the dynamics. But - all the same ...).
A summation.
Our opinion. Subtext. You arrived. I'm here. You see: my residence is in place. I am at the residence. I'm confident in myself. I am respected. Have you made sure? I'm ready to go on an official visit, ask for bonuses ... I'll parrot a little, say some nice words ...).
