A Belarus Maidan?
Newsletter Anti-imperialist |
Interview with a representative of Poligraf Red, a Marxist group from Minsk
Of course, the comparison with Maidan is an obvious one. After all, it
is a Liberal protest under Nationalist flags with a clear support from
the EU. But the differences shouldn’t be ignored, too. First, the
far-right forces right now are hardly noticeable (although they
certainly take part in the movement). The Nationalists are in fact much
weaker in Belarus than in Ukraine. Second, we don’t have the Ukrainian
groups of powerful oligarchs fighting for power (many of our oligarchs
are closely connected to the ruling regime). Generally, currently the
protests are much more peaceful and inclusive. For example, you wouldn’t
be beaten if you come to the protests with a USSR flag.
But some dangerous similarities are emerging nevertheless. For example,
different bullying campaigns in the Internet against teachers who were
supposedly taking part in the falsification of the elections.
