Mathematics for Fun

The ally failed.

Sometimes I suspected that propaganda stories about millions of opposition capitals, the Washington committee and about Soros pouring rain of dollars on us might be true. Indeed, if one has convinced us for two decades that we are richer than the bourgeois of Drazdy, one might wonder what one may not know about comrades. I start realizing that Seviarynets looks like a clandestine millionaire. He has just been good at disguising for many years. These days, I found out that propagandists were right. We are not just clandestine millionaires. We're an oil and gas lobby.

Let's just calculate. For the next two months, the price of gas remains the same - $ 127 per thousand cubic meters. That's great. We remember yesterday's trials of pro-independence protesters and court decisions. Although Pavel Seviarynets pretended to be a poor revolutionary with burning eyes and had 15 days of arrest, a fair Belarusian court still fined him 50 basic units. That is 1350 rubles. This is about $670. That is, Pavel Seviarynets personally pays more than five thousand cubic meters of Russian gas. He's just a gas king! Just like his mother, by the way. Yesterday Vitsebsk court fined her 60 basic units, that is 1620 rubles or six and a half thousand cubic meters of gas.

The artist, Ales Marachkin, was fined 810 rubles. This sum is not so high but it covers three thousand cubic meters of Russian gas. But the artist also pretended to be a poor artist, although he easily provides the country with gas. Uladzimir Nyaklyayew was fined 810 rubles or three thousand cubic meters. He is a poet. But judges know the truth. Even about the former ambassador and deputy Peter Sadovsky. Though the man is retired a long time ago, he may have savings since his work in Germany. Let him help the country with two or three thousand cubic meters. Or, for example, priest Viktar Kavalkou (father Vikentiy) is fined 1350 rubles. These are another five thousand cubic meters of gas. There's a reason why people say that all priests drive Bentley. It's not only about the ROC - the Belarusian autocephalous church, as it turns out, also consists of oil and gas kings.

However, it's better this way. Those who are fined 600-800 rubles, let them buy gas. Let oligarchs like Pavel Seviarynets and his mother pay for oil for Belarusian refineries. The fine of Sevyarynets equals to two tons of oil. His mother's fine is two and a quarter tons. That is, they bought four tons of oil for the country in a day. They say that Chyzh visited the Sevyarynets manor recently. He now mows lawns there and cleans the pool. He looks happy.

If we sum up yesterday's court decisions, it turns out that literally in one day the state stole 30 thousand rubles from activists. That's almost 120,000 cubic meters of gas or 41 tons of oil. To compare: December, marked by endless court hearings, brought 60 thousand rubles to the regime. Now, in the conditions of the oil and gas war, this sum is raised within two days. Well, it turns out that the ruler has decided to do with internal resources. He wants us to pay not only for oil and gas but for all kinds of festivals and meetings, the election campaign and his seventh term. Because there is no one else to do it. The ally has failed.

In such a difficult situation for our country, I'm embarrassed by my fine only of Br385. It covers only a couple of thousand cubic meters of gas. In the coming year, I promise to fix the situation. Five years in three!
