Economist Names Lukashenko's Main Mistake

Why make a plow or an axe when you can make an IT product?

Economist, senior researcher of BEROC Dmitry Kruk popularly explained the main problem of the Belarusian economy.

- Lukashenko's regime has always, since the 90s, used the logic of "appointing champions," - argues Dmitry Kruk about the decline of the Belarusian economy on the air of "The usual evening". - I think this logic is also in Lukashenko's head.

He considers it a crime to lose some industry, some production that existed in his youth.

Because it was a sign of a class economy then, it is very important to cling to it, to everything that existed.

It could have worked in the 80s and 90s, because it was a different era then. In other words, why make a plow or an axe when you can make an IT product that sells in the American market.
