One Hour With Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya

The history is made today.

The Belsat TV channel has visited Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's headquarters to see how the day of the most high-profile candidate for presidency is going.

We make an agreement to shoot with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya's press secretary, Hanna Krasulina:

"After two o'clock Sviatlana will be at the headquarters and give interviews. At 18.00, at the headquarters Babaryka P. (popular Russian YouTube channel) talks to Tsikhanouskaya, Kalesnikava and Tsepkala".

Tsikhanouskaya's headquarters is situated in the center of Minsk, on the top floor of the shopping center. It is a narrow room with one window, where there are two tables and a narrow closet.

Sviatlana gives an interview to the famous American paper edition by phone in English.

At the end of it, Krasulina gives her time for a break, and the candidate goes out to the corridor where a group of young people are waiting for her:

- Sviatlana, can I take a photo with you?

- And have you put on white ribbons?

At this moment two more film crews of big media outlets from Germany and the USA come.

While the cameramen are tuning up the equipment, Sviatlana solves current issues by phone. At this time a man wearing a "Country for Life" T-shirt brings cold water.

One interview candidate gives in Russian, the second one - in English. She comports herself with confidence, gives detailed and clear answers.

Sviatlana's phone is constantly receiving messages and calls. She switches off the sound during video recording.

At this time, the spokeswoman gives a comment to Belsat.eu about the picket, which is to be held on August 6.

After a series of interviews Sviatlana runs away to the meeting. In an hour and a half, Tsikhanouskaya has a new interview.
