The Lukashenka System Is Collapsing

Inside the units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it comes to fights.

The information from Novaya Baravaya's chat about how Lukashenka's system is collapsing before our eyes was published on Facebook:

- Briefly speaking, this is confirmed by many individual messages wandering around on Telegram: the punishers are complaining about the hard work.

1. There, everything is also seething, it’s just not so visible. Inside the units it even comes to fights. There is the position of complete thugs who are ready to beat, torture and even kill, and there is the position of those who really do not understand why detaining and why not “let them just walk”, agree on a route and “let them walk.”

2. They get tired over the top. Both mentally and physically. It seems that we are walking, and they just move by buses or stand. But in reality it is exhausting. Especially the recent adventure marches, when the coordinators had absolutely no idea what would happen next, work according to instructions (where, who and how to place), and the protesters break these instructions. Again, given all their preparedness, if for us the march is both stress and energy at the same time, for them it is just stressful.

3. Insulation. It is already happening. Previously, employees regularly exercised on the street, ran, and practiced. Now there is nothing like this.

They are now allowed to get drunk right in the unit so that they don’t go anywhere. Relatives, friends, wives - everything is also very difficult there. As a result, it turns out that they live in prison, not us. Yes, they are paid well for this, but what good it will give you if you’re isolated, live in a house under guard, and you can’t go to the cinema or take a walk in the park.

4. Fear. Now they leave their homes only in scattered groups of 5-10 people, not alone. The area near the unit and houses are patrolled by reinforced detachments of 4-5 Interior Ministry officers.

5. Wait. Many employees are careful to refuse to participate in Sunday activities. They do not openly protest against the leadership, but they do not support everything that is happening. They are waiting for the moment when it will be possible to quietly leave, keeping the pension, without consequences.

6. Staff shortage. It is serious, if only for the reason that on Sunday they call "pensioners" from the reserve for a very good salary. Those fit in because two weeks' earnings per day of work is very tempting.

7. Yesterday's sleaze regarding a possible march to the houses of the riot policemen on the Heroes of the 120th division excited everyone very much. The story about how the wives dragged stuff from the houses to the neighbouring unit (which was surrounded by a thorn) is true, which means there was real fear.

Oddly enough, there is only one answer to the question "what to do" - continue taking to the streets. By now, let it be peaceful, methodical, active. We just do not see the results "here and now", this may cause a feeling of apathy, but we must shake this feeling off. The system is crumbling. Not fast, but the process is underway.
