Yury Khashchavatski: Authorities Show Their Deceitful Nature Again
YURY KHASHCHAVATSKI

The famous movie director is outraged by the prohibition to publish the video record of his speech at the Belarusian Television on the internet.

The Belarusian Television had no right to demand that YouTube should remove his speech as a candidate for deputy at the “Belarus-3” TV-channel.

Yury Khashchavatski has told this to charter97.org.

– The Belarusian Television demanded to remove the video with your speech from YouTube. What do you think about it?

– I am familiar with such things. The point is that YouTube doesn’t have investigators among the personnel. When someone addresses to them claiming that his copyright was broken, they delete the material immediately. This was how they removed my movie “Lobotomy” upon the request of Sergey Kuryagin (the pro-Kremlin political analyst – charter97.org). They investigate nothing, just delete the contents. It is possible to reinstate the material though. I can write them now that someone led them into misconception, as it was my pre-electoral speech and I am interested in as many people as possible watching it. Probably, this is what we will do.

Still, the fact remains – they are trying to prevent the people from hearing the truth that I told, by any means. These are the cheaters who commit falsifications. Such demeanors are their usual practice.

It could be so that the Belarusian Television wrote it had been their material. But it’s not their material, it’s my pre-electoral material, my speech! They have nothing to do with it.

– You pointed out in your speech that the Belarusian Television had blacked out your video appeal four years ago. Why did they decide to pass it now?

– It’s because now they are trying to show Europe, which they need for loans, their “democratization”. However, they already showed it when they had delegated 0,08% of the people who were associated with the opposition one way or another, to the elections commissions. The international observers should see that the situation has deteriorated compared to the previous “parliamentary elections”.

Four years ago, when they blacked out my video appeal, it was an absolute nonsense. This showed that the parliament really was illegitimate. On the ground of this outrageous violation, the “elections” should have never been acknowledged, they should have been abolished, but they turned the corner. This time they feared to do so, but you see, they are by-passing to reach their goal.

Realizing that no one watches the Belarusian Television now, they decided to remove the video from the internet. Because, when my speech was finished yesterday, practically no one called me. However, when this speech got into the social networks, the internet, also to the websites charter97.org, Belarusian Partisan and even tut.by (which is surprising), they began to stir. They knew it was going to distribute anyway. So they shut my speech down another way.

– Do you plan to continue participation in the so-called “elections” or will you respond to the calls of some opposition politicians and withdraw?

– We are discussing this issue now. It is quite complicated. The point is, I have always been an adherent of the idea to withdraw from the “elections”, and I still think so. On the other hand, it is necessary to make the authorities show their deceitful nature for as long as possible.

I mean, I am convinced that they will plot something, also during votes counting. That is why there is a discussion going on at our HQ on what to do best: to present the facts of falsification of votes counting, or to restrict ourselves to these speeches. This is under discussion right now. Now it is important to tell the people the words they long to hear, through this gap. This is what we are doing now.
