Opinion: Unprecedented Departure Of Security Officers Is Taking Place

The current situation is unprecedented.

The Reflexion And Reaction telegram channel revisits the interview of Aliaksandr Azarau, the former head of the department in the Main Directorate for Combating Organized Crime and Corruption. And highlights an important point in it.

- The most interesting thing in the interview is the last phrase: "Only our members, who have worked with us, will definitely be in the new Belarus and they will even occupy higher positions.

Bypol has never communicated in such a way. Openly and boldly. To defeat the Dragon you must become the Dragon, everything according to the classics (and here greetings to those who yearn for "total lustration").

There are no such conditions for the change of power, under which such lustration is possible. This is reality, Belarus will not be freed by either aliens or NATO armies. It is impossible without the help of the security and law enforcement officers.

There has never been such a departure of law enforcers. Even when people were disappearing at the turn of the century, only a few left. The number of those who have changed the side shows that the current situation is unprecedented, even for the security bloc, which used to be treated as a closed caste.

Yet a split in any closed community is the natural evolutionary state of such a community. Mostly for internal reasons that we do not even see. When there is a conditional "second side," then people will strive to stay in contact with it.

The fact that the level of speakers on Bypol is rising shows that the situation among the security forces is not all roses, and even if people are quietly fired, it is not known who will come in their place and with what kind of views.

A situation of eternal paranoia for everyone. It is also a typical crisis thing - when you talk to a person in office, you don't know who he really is and what his thoughts are. Except that before, such background stress was used exclusively for destroying the opposition. Now this thing has turned against the very creators of such a system.
