Crisis of confidence

If there was a competition of liars, the winner would be the one telling the truth.. (Ilia Ilf)

Any system always seeks internal balance and stability. Otherwise it risks to be destroyed. Social life, as well as nature, has a sense of measure. Defects in the political systems at first create some tension, collect destructive potential, and in the end they transform into аforce that destroys the whole system.

Last April 11th, an explosion tore through a Minsk subway, killing 14 people and injuring over 200. Two Belarussians, Dzmitry Kanavalau and Uladzislau Kavalyou, were convicted for the terrorist act and are slated for execution in just two weeks, on November 30th.

Many Belarussians believe the two men were subject to an unfair, sensational trial bereft of hard evidence of their guilt. These pending executions are a violation of their human rights, a stain on justice system of Belarus and an outrage to people all over the world.

Please sign this petition and ask your friends to join us in demanding that the executions of Kanavalau and Kavalyou be halted immediately.

The accident at the nuclear plant, "Fukushima - 1" creates an ambiguous background for the visit of Prime Minister of Russia in Minsk. There is no doubt that nuclear power remains extremely dangerous and the interest of Minsk in its own "peaceful atom" is largely a political issue. Meanwhile, the decision of allocating a loan for construction of Belarusian nuclear power plant is the most important for tomorrow's scheduled Union Council of Ministers, headed by Vladimir Putin and Mikhail Myasnikovich. The positions of parties are well known and in this case much depends on Moscow: either Russia  limits itself with allocating $  6 billion for the construction of nuclear power plant, most of which will finance the production of plant equipment at Russian plants;  or the sum of $  9 billion will appear, that will provide an infusion into the Belarusian economy of about $ 3 billion under the pretext of building "infrastructure" (the amount is overstated by at least an order) - the question of "6-9."

On March 25 - another anniversary of BNR was very well celebrated - dozens of people gathered at Yanka Kupala Park and about three hundred heroes-nationalists gathered at the monument of another classic writer of the Belarusian literature Yakub Kolas. This is almost everything that the Belarusian opposition could mobilize three months after the events of 19 December. In fact, dissidents came out into the streets, and they were immediately "packed" into paddy wagons.
