Lord, have mercy on Belarus and her sons and daughters brave enough to stand up for human freedom and dignity. I just read the latest report on the CNN website with a heavy heart. May this setback only galvanize the courage and daring we have seen in Belarus over the past week and make 25 March 2006 the first day of a new, if difficult and arduous, Belarusian spring. With as many crosses as Belarus has had to bear in her history, resurrection has to come along sometime…
Commiserations, maybe next time. In Belgrade thousands of people protested every day literally for months in 96/97 and got exactly nowhere, so don’t beat yourselves about it.
Hi, I’m a Chinese journalist. I support the democratic movements in Belarus, and thank you for your blog. It take the fresh news for me.
I think the biggest obstacle of democracy in Belarus is poverty, so the dictator can use the low salary and poor welfare to control the people. In Belarus, the political structure and the social structure are both different from Ukraine, so the contentious politics in Minsk is so hard.
By the way, if you have enough time and interest, I want chat with you on MSN Messager, because I will write a summary about the vote in Belarus. Maybe you can help me. This is my MSN address: priestliu@hotmail.com
The brave protesters have made it into the history books. In 25 years schools will teach that this was not the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning; … no it will be marked as the beginning of the start of Belarus’ road to liberty from itself. Although it was just happening on a square in Minsk, the whole of Europe and the United States were standing with you on that square. Time works for you,….. always.
RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!
In the evening, several thousand people stood with candles, shared food and hot and sang in the square. in the morning the camp is gone and all tents crushed and destroyed.
the rest of the Belarus people are only being shown a big picture of a pile of empty vodka and beer bottles. All these were placed in a tent by the police collaborators after evacuating the people.
no information=little results. The only hope that i see is in the fact that at least several dozen young people, who used to be inactive, realized the power of their connection and started their own media campaign. For instance, there is a database of templates for samizdat leaflets, which people are printing out and disseminating wherever they can on their own.

Good work Belarus, all evil comes to an end and so did this one. I particulary liked the flag of the UPA - German collaborators who butchered close to 90 000 poles in Volhynia during the second world war - Lukashenko was right about the neo-fascist elements of the white-red-white flags. Hey given the Russophobia on Pravapiss.org that the author exhibits I am not surprised that this was another puny attempt to turn Belarus into another Apraheid-infested Latvia/Estonia. However at least 82.6 % of the Belarusian population have much more common sense than this author.
I do sincerely congradulate all of the Belarusian peoples that will eventually get rid of the Litviyak skeletons in their closets. And personally to Batka!
Хочется всей
Необъятной страной
Батьки крикнуть:
“Спасибо, родной!”
Долгие годы живи,
Не болей.
Жить стало лучше,
Жить стало веселей.

I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
