In a situation with detainees in Belarus, the Russian President Alexander Lukashenko needs to find out who this provocation perpetrated, and duly punish him. This was told by the publicist Anatoly Wasserman in a recent comment, “the Free press”.
The expert explained that the Russian majority of citizens of Belarus, which, according to data for 2008 was 93%, appreciates and supports the measures taken Lukashenka to maintain good relations of Belarus and Russia.
He recalled that the majority voted in a referendum for the state status of the Russian language in Belarus, and it has repeatedly shown that it appreciates the existence of the Union state, and supports all measures to strengthen this state.
“the conclusion. Any action, worsening relations between Russia and Belarus, decreases the chances of Lukashenko to win. Most likely, he will still win and in such circumstances: he’s got a huge margin,” says Wasserman.
Therefore, in his opinion, Lukashenka has only one chance to strengthen their majority, namely, to find out who this provocation perpetrated, and duly to punish him,
