“Russian World” Freaks Out Over Concert In Ales Charkashyn’s Memory

11

BCD activist Maryna Khomich has been summoned to the police due to the denunciation of the “Russian world” adepts.

Leader of the Young Christian Democrats Maryna Khomich got a phone call from the Central district police department of Minsk. The caller informed that representatives of the organization “Young Rus” (Rumol) had filed a complaint at her to the public prosecution. The reason was claimed to be the concert of Zmitser Vaitsiushkevich in memory of Ales Charkashyn, which she had organized in the framework of the meeting with voters. Herein, Rumol activists called Ales Charkashyn a mercenary, informs the website bchd.info.

The public prosecution delegated the complaint to the police department which invited the BCD leader for a conversation. “I refused; moreover, I am abroad right now. I do not deny that I organized the concert, but I see no point in reacting to the statements of some ambiguous organizations,” - Maryna Khomich has said.

“Such chauvinistic pro-Russian organizations like Rumol simply freak out because of any demonstration of Belarus’ will for independence. First, Ales Charkashyn was a chaplain and a sanitary assistant at Donbass, and this is a decent Christian deed. Secondly, the Rumol itself should be banned in Belarus as an anti-national, anti-state, chauvinistic organization, which attempts at our country’s sovereignty, dishonoring our language, culture and state. I would advise our law-enforcement authorities to handle the organizations which are preparing the occupation of Belarus,” - the leader of the Young Christian Democrats has underlined.

In his turn, Co-Chairman of the Belarusian Christian Democracy Vital Rymasheuski has stated that the concert in memory of Ales Charkashyn was a tribute to a decent person. “Christian Democrats stand against Belarusians fighting at other countries’ wars outside Belarus. However, it is only thanks to those who are defending the independence of Ukraine today, the Russian soldiers’ boots do not hobnail the Belarusian land. Today it’s Ukraine, tomorrow it’s Belarus, the day after tomorrow it will be the Baltic States, Poland, the EU. Such is the logic of the current chauvinistic Russian-putinist regime. This should be clear to every right-minded person. The occupation of Ukraine could become an overture to the World war III. Everyone who is defending the independence of fraternal Ukraine today, protects Belarus, Europe and the world from another catastrophe,” – he has added.

The organization "Young Rus" was registered in Belarus in 2011. In 2014, the chairman of the organization Sergey Lusch put his signature under the appeal to Putin to resist the authorities of Ukraine. Sergei Lusch, who once was an authorized person of presidential candidate Viktar Tsiareshchanka, belongs to those who are "very ambivalent about the sovereign Belarusian project, often slipping into a position of denial the Belarusian nation the right to self-determination, are skeptical of the Belarusian language and culture, and the Belarusian official version of history."
