Going to Minsk on March 19?
So the information from an anonymous KGB agent was correct. Here’s Lukashenka’s perfect defense plan: they quietly canceled all incoming trains and buses to Minsk from all the cities, towns or villages on March, 19 and March, 20.
There are already dozens of people from the regions who reported that they couldn’t book a ticket from their home town to Minsk on March 19, because it was supposedly “all sold out” or “all booked.”
I’m sure there also will be road blocks, so that no one “bad” would be able to sneak into Minsk from the regions on the D-Day.
I actually don’t see any obvious weak points in this ingenious plan, especially considering the fact that Belarusans in the province are not very rich, so not many people own cars or would be able to afford Minsk hotels.
