Russians Discriminate Belarusians In Brest

Russians Discriminate Belarusians In Brest

A Russian company does not allow employees with Belarusian accent.

The absence of the country's state border with Russia, which is so necessary, leads to steady trafficking of drugs and psychotropics into Belarus, as well as “importing” a far more dangerous thing – the Russian Nazism. It even comes to nationality based discrimination of Belarusians by Russian companies, the by24.org site writes.

An example of this is a job advertisement, found on the site Cataloxy. The construction company “Zodchiy,” created in Belarus by Russian investors, is looking for a regional wooden houses sales director. By the way, with an extremely high salary: 15 000 000 “old” Belarusian rubles (1500 “new” ones) per month. It all looks fine apart from the fact, that they want an “active person, with correct and clear speech without the Belarusian accent.” And that happens on the Belarusian territory! Does it mean that the Russians, working on our own land, not only ban our native language, but even the accent?!

SCREENSHOT FROM THE SITE CATALOXY

The “Nazi” vacancy is still available in the archive of the Cataloxy site. You can find it in the Google search engine cache, in case the Russian businessmen edit or delete their text after the publication in the media.

What does the Belarusian legislation say in this connection? The Article 14 of the Labour Code of the Republic of Belarus states: “Discrimination, that is the restriction of employment rights or the acquiring any privileges on the basis of gender, race, national origin, language, religious or political views, participation or non-participation in trade unions or other public associations, property or official status, or physical or mental disabilities that do not hinder the performance of work duties, is prohibited.” In addition, the statute provides an opportunity for the people, who have been discriminated, to defend their rights in court.
