Two indulgences (issued to themselves) during a meeting in Sochi. A political note.
Talking about the summit talks in Sochi on September 14, 2020, the media quoted the participants in the events directly.
Alexander Lukashenko said that the sides of the confrontation in Belarus (after August 9, 2020) have not yet crossed the red lines.
The Belarusian people are really limited himself to peaceful civilized protests (practically without violence) and resemble the followers of Leo Tolstoy and of Mahatma Gandhi.
Alexander Lukashenko is another matter.
The events that followed after August 9, 2020, mass torture, dispersal of peaceful demonstrations, walks in the center of Minsk with a Kalashnikov assault rifle - all of this significantly changed the reputation of Alexander Lukashenko.
"SIMONIAN: It is clear that it is impossible to sort it out. But then, when they were detained, a day passed, two passed, three passed. Not fed. They were beated. This is what you need to deal with [to investigate].
LUKASHENKO: Maybe we can turn this page?
SIMONIAN: I'd love to. I wanted to tell you this so that you know about it.
LUKASHENKO: Do you think I don't know about this? I know by name. Margarita, I experienced it, I know by name. But I have to weigh. Yes, and there were overkills, extreme actions. I'm like here Karaev - I apologized twice. I say, "Apologize. Apologize once if there was something there. " He apologized twice. I say: "Why did you apologize twice?" [unofficial translation] (From an interview of September 8, 2020; https://russian.rt.com/ussr/article/781543-lukashenko-intervyu-polnyi-tekst?utm_source=smi2).
Politely speaking, there is no remorse in these words. On the contrary, some of the readers may feel here an irony and a resistance to repentance ...
The representative of the Russian side spoke in the sense that the support provided by the Russian authorities cannot be considered as interference in the internal affairs of Belarus. Well, well, well ... The reward of a human is according to the works of his hands.
