Аннотация: Dear comrades - a film-thimbleriggers. In connection with the screening of the film "Dear Comrades" at the Venice Film Festival. A culturological sketch.
Evolution of media approaches to Belarusian events. Brief theses for a lecture to a Russial audience.
1. Before the elections on August 9, 2020.
1.1. An outrage.
Negative loud comments in connection with the detention of 33 citizens in sportswear.
As the situation develops, outrage is sent to different addresses and with different justifications.
1.2. A benevolence.
Moderately positive coverage of huge queues to the signature tables of opposition candidates, mass demonstrations in support of opposition candidates. A moderate surprise (with different shades) in connection with the detention of opposition candidates and in connection with the registration of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya as one of the candidates. Amazement in connection with the nomination of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya as a single candidate from the opposition.
Subtext: "It will be difficult for Lukashenko during and after the elections ...".
2. Immediately after the September 9, 2020 elections.
An outrage. A mistrust. Attempts to catch a lie.
Angry descriptions of the detention of journalists, violence, torture. Irony in relation to the official figures of the election commissions. Attention to individual, separate honest results.
3. After the release of 33 people in sports uniforms and after Lukashenko assumed some political obligations.
Silence, hesitation, questions.
And what do the protests give? ... And what are the prospects for the protests? Who is more among the protesters - ordinary Belarusian citizens or opponents of Russia? ... Etc.
4. Between the visit of the Prime Minister of Russia to Belarus and subsequent political actions.
Forgetfulness, silence, optimism, commitment to selective legality.
Forget about violence, torture and human rights violations. Forget about abductions and violations of the Constitution of Belarus. Forget about real election results. Forget about who in reality was elected president of Belarus. Silence about positive actions of Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya and other leaders of the Belarusian opposition. Silence about humanitarian, political, financial actions of support of the Belarusian people on the part of the Western community and Western states.
A SILENCING OF STRATEGICAL MISTAKE IN POSITION TO SUPPORT THE LUKASHENKO REGIME, OF MISTAKE TO OVERT OR COVERT SUPPORT FOR DIRECT OR INDIRECT VIOLENCE AGAINST THE BELARUSIAN PEOPLE, TO SUPPORT DISRESPECT FOR THE EXPRESSION OF THE WILL OF THE BELARUSIAN PEOPLE AT ELECTIONS IN AUGUST 2020, OF MISTAKE TO SUPPORT PRACTICE UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS (INCLUDING RETENTION OF POLITICAL PRISONERS).
An expression optimism in connection with some plans of Lukashenko to improve the Constitution of Belarus. An expression commitment to legality by focusing on Lukashenko's powers until November 2020 - regardless of the election results.
5. A month has passed since the elections. Events are moving fast. Lukashenko is evolving, and 'we' are evolving ... When a window of opportunity opens up at the cash box office, you need to manage to get a budget money allocated for state support of the Russial media ...
