Why does NTV lie?

To be more precise, it doesn’t say the truth, because I can’t believe only laypersons work there now. Let’s think Viktor Kuzmin is not strong in elementary arithmetic. Otherwise it may be difficult to explain that only some hundreds of people took part in the demonstration, when other informational agencies reported about thousands.

Russia has problems with it now. I think, even great mathematician Lobachevski, who was notable for his nonstandard views, wouldn’t have been understood the mutually exclusive maxims, concerning Russian gas supplies to Belarus. From the one hand, they say us about transmitting to market prices, which have exceeded USD 370 per cubic meter, from the other hand, they sell it to Belarus at 128. From the one hand they say about stopping sponsoring of Belarusian economy, from the other hand they save it from a smashup.

What concerns the yesterday’s action, I’d advice to pay attention to just two details.

Firstly, I assured myself once again the Belarusian authorities are lack of brain. The weather (like on the day of election) made everything for the protests were not mass. It was windy, cold and moisty. Forecasters promised a storm. It would seem, the devil helps to think up something new, but nerves snapped.

The yesterday’s demonstration surpassed all analogical actions of the last time in brutally and foolishness.

Access routes to Yakub Kolas Square were blocked of so silly, that it looked like absurdity. People had to fetch a big compass to get to Kamarouski market. People, who were coming back from work, couldn’t reach their homes. Parents couldn’t take their children from kindergartens. Many innocent people, who happened to walk in this district and were far from politics, were arrested and thrown to paddy wagons.

In short, everyone “has fun” and now only special steps, for instance release of Kazulin, are able to save Lukashenka’s regime from EU joining the U.S. sanctions.

Secondly, I’d like kuzmins and others help the Kremlin to understand: by achieving insignificant strategic success it loses in strategy. I, for example, don’t feel joyful from the fact, somebody is called a “lawyer” of dark forces.

A mess with numbers can be explained with two factors. The main of them is that these numbers have suddenly turned into the fairest ones. This metamorphose happened after Pavel Selin’s deportation from Belarus and deferred relays, when Kuzmin’s programme has become semifresh.

And one more thought. It’s strange for Russia when protests exceed “permitted” some hundreds.
