Lukashenko Began To Praise His Crazy Idea

The dictator shared the results of an experiment in conscripting farmers into the army.

Lukashenko ordered that those who perform poorly and fail to observe work discipline in agriculture, especially during the harvest season. Today, August 27, he shared the results of the experiment:


“Let me give you an example. Some reacted with ‘hee-hee, ha-ha’ when I said during a conference call: the slackers, the drunkards, and others unwilling to work the land during harvest—off to the ‘front.’ To the army, to special operations forces, to the border—to Krupko and Parkhomchik; Khrenin is in charge,” said the prime minister


“I didn’t believe him. I said, ‘Double-check it; see for yourself.’” A week later, I asked again. He told me, ‘Alexander Grigoryevich, may I recommend a promotion?’ I said, ‘Are you out of your mind? These are drunks, good-for-nothings…’ But they’re bright, they work hard, and they do everything the officer tells them to. Well, no complaints at all.

And they say that the army isn’t a reformatory, as Volfovich said. Yes, it isn’t a reformatory. But it’s a very good school for discipline. Decent guys. They’ve gone through retraining. I said, “Give everyone weapons, just like the military. Change their uniforms, shave them, give them haircuts. And send them there.” Combat coordination—everything was done according to the latest standards. Mobile groups, tactical groups. Everything we need to defend the border. We’re not fighting in Ukraine, but we have to defend the border. So we sent 170 people there right away,” he said.

Lukashenko added that, under field conditions, the conscripts had set up their dugouts better than apartments.

“They dug their dugouts better than they’ve furnished apartments in Minsk. So much for them being drunks and all that,” he said.

“We weren’t able to organize them. But in the army, Khrenin and his officers organized their work and are asking that they be awarded. I say, ‘Let’s start with you awarding them—I’m not against it.’” He’ll be awarding individual top performers there. So, people can work,” Lukashenko concluded, noting that “there are certain methods and levers of influence for those who do not want to properly fulfill their work duties.”
