KK. Kochanova and Kovalchuk. Absurd attempts of quasi-dialogue. A political essay.
Doctors can go abroad. Workers can quit (write dismissal applications)! Do not stop anyone, do not persuade! And the protesters need to be punished - mainly to be beaten and imprisoned for 10 days.
These were the initial guidelines.
But there were also hesitations.
An absurd quasi-dialogue between Lukashenko and those behind bars was launched.
Almost four months have passed since August 9, 2020.
"Still, the dialogue would not hurt!"
But who should carry on this dialogue?
The main lover of speeches and meetings with ordinary people is Lukashenko himself.
But he is politically unsuitable for anything. He lost his qualities as a real politician when those mysterious events began, which some people call political assassinations.
The politician acts by word, symbol, conviction, by law ...
They looked back and wept!
In Belarus, there is the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus with 174 deputies (in 1991-1996 the Supreme Soviet was functioning). But there are no politicians.
(Let's remember the protests in Khabarovsk. The only politician who was able to talk with the people and decided to engage in dialogue was the LDPR senator Greshnyakova ... But she talked for about an hour ...).
So, there are no politicians - in the true sense of the word - in the Belarusian establishment. We do not take Lukashenko into account. He lost his face.
They dragged Kochanova to the surface of the political ocean. She is one of the bosses in the modern Belarusian parliamentary sphere. (Speaker of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus Natalya Ivanovna Kochanova).
At sea - storm, tempest. Kochanova pressed her lips together, reminded herself of the existence of riot police and other law enforcement agencies, smoothed her feathers and went to meet with the people.
Meeting with students- journalists. A worn-out record. Not a single clear and meaningful answer to any question.
Who are you? What do you think? I will tell Alexander Grigorievich that the guys are asking the questions...
Kochanova, Kochanova ... Some consider her (like other deputies) a product of electoral falsifications ... A bureaucrat who is ordered to become a politician ... In a week! This is a sad sight.
She will not leave Alexander Grigorievich and will go with him to the end ...
And what can she do? And who needs it? When Pashinyan achieved free elections, the previous party, which previously gained about 70-80 percent of the vote (according to the CEC), gained about 20 percent ... But the party that ruled before Pashinyan, as some media now recollect, had some merit and achievements ...
Lukashenko's party before the murder of Roman Bondarenko could gain from 5 to 20 percent of the vote ... and Kochanova could get into parliament. And now?:..
An attempt at a quasi-dialogue with the participation of Minister of Sports Kovalchuk looks even more ridiculous. He even signed aт open letter from loyal athletes. (Minister of Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Belarus, Colonel, ex-employee of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus Sergei Mikhailovich Kovalchuk).
Loyal athletes are secondary to the population. The population needs national heroes in normal times. The state contributed to the appearance of these heroes. Newspaper pages were filled with photos of healthy smiling people and interviews. Everyone was proud.
Now is the era of crisis.
And for narrow groups of the population there is hope - not a prospect, but a hope - of maintaining a good standard of living.
They try to escape from the public ship to an elite yacht!
It's hard to resist the temptation. Moreover, if the bosses do a reminds: do you remember how they supported you? Do you know what this support cost the state? (O'key, pan Colonel!)
In democratic countries, athletes are grateful to parliamentarians, government, people ... Here you need to be grateful to Lukashenko ...
This letter is a kind of a quasi-dialogue.
First, these are not truncheons, and not a pre-trial detention center. These are words, these are text.
Secondly, it is an appeal. To whom? To public opinion within the country? It treats with contempt such letters and similar concessions in favor of Lukashenko. Is this an appeal to world public opinion? World public opinion has received enough information about fraudulent elections, torture, seizure of political hostages, various forms of political repression, which are carried out on a wide scale ... World public opinion is not interested in the letter of loyal athletes. World public opinion demands to stop the violence - for a beginning .. So, to whom is this letter addressed? This is a pseudo-action of a pseudo-politician from the sports field.
This quasi-dialogue (organized both Kochanova and Kovalchuk) looks absurd.
What to do? Life will find an answer to this question.
If someone is interested in my answer, then I think it's time to repent, pray in church, publicly ask for forgiveness, publicly cry, lay flowers on the grave of Roman Bondarenko, to kneel in front of crippled and beaten people, look for effective mediators for negotiations ...
However - as you please ... Do as your wise advisers and your effective brains tell you ...
And now, - KK.
