Lukashenka's Decree, Baskets With Sausage

Is a surge of corruption awaiting Belarus?

In the coming weeks, Lukashenka will issue a decree and grant the district executive committee heads the right to approve appointing heads of private enterprises, as well as heads of territorial bodies of all ministries and departments (except for the KGB), and heads of the district's key organisations of all forms of ownership.

Owners of private restaurants or butcher shops will now not only have to know how to fry steaks, but also how to find the right approach to the district executive committee chairman. Baskets with sausages for the chairman and his wife will be in use. To become the director of the barbershop, you will need to pass an interview with the district executive committee chairman and show how you have made haircuts to at least a few of his acquaintances.

Now, in order to run a private firm, you need not only to be a successful professional, but also know how to please the local bosses.
