Here we have a new national record in the Republic of Belarus. The president established it. As a matter of fact, the preceding the same participant belonged - but in this sport, Alexander Grigoryevich is simply out of competition.
And everything is simple. About ninety foreigners are invited to themselves. They are accepted with honor, they are carried around the country, they are fed, they have been adapted, which God sent, and then please in a closed room - to meet with the first person. Everyone is happy. The main thing is that the appropriate’s interlocutors can withstand: the conversation lasts five and a half hours.
Here is the record. The last time it was half an hour shorter. It was easier to endure.
It was the eleventh press conference of Alexander Lukashenko for Russian journalists. And it took place on October 11 this year. If Putin met Belarusian journalists so often, one would think that his roof had gone. But the president of Russia with Belarusian journalists met only once. There are probably other things.
Five and five tenths, eleven, one is from the field of primitive mathematics. The schoolboy can operate with such numbers.
But Alexander Grigoryevich spoke of "maternal capital." Like, for each newborn we will pay mom ten thousand dollars.
Moms, and especially future dads almost sprinkled from sofas. Because only very lazy in Belarus do not know that the country's gold and foreign exchange reserves are reduced monthly (!) By more than 300 million dollars. And in total, they amount to about 7.4 billion dollars - this is at the end of September. And in order to pay the necessary amount to all young mothers at the current birth rate, about two billion dollars a year need. That is ... Well, you understand - or are you also falling from the sofa? Belarus - not Russia, oil and gas in such quantities that it does not have ten thousand for the baby for a baby. And we do not have Kudrin so that he will take care of the stabilization fund in a timely manner. Our agriculture eats national income - in the form of subsidies ...
This is also mathematics. But from geography. Alexander Grigoryevich asked Vladimir Vladimirovich to give him the Kaliningrad region. This is despite the fact that the Kuril Islands of Russia are not going to give in to any Japanese for any billions. And here they ask to give the subject of the Russian Federation just like that. Free of charge. That is, as the character from the Soviet still cartoon said, “for nothing”.
In order not to finish the geographical theme on this pessimistic note, we will inform the respected readers that Alexander Grigoryevich publicly announced that he did not have about 10 million working people in Belarus. For reference: the population of Belarus today is less than 10 million. That is, under the Soviet regime, it amounted to 10 million, and under the sovereign Lukashenko is reduced annually by one area - approximately 90 thousand citizens. Who is dying, who leaves. Units come. Moreover, the own population, which Alexander Grigoryevich called “Narodsy” some time ago, perceives the idea of mass replenishment of his ranks by foreigners. A year and a half ago, the government announced that it invites 600 thousand Chinese to work - to build a technopark near the Minsk. There was so much scream, as if the Chinese were already here and were going to arrange a clash on the island of Damansky. The population of Minsk is a little less than two million, and here is such a sunny prospect: 600 thousand people who are not adapted to the local “people”! This is just a holiday for journalists! How many collisions will have to be covered ...
But I still do not suggest worrying about the fraternal Belarusian people to Russians. I do not propose to re -solve problems in mathematics and learn geography in the light of new statements by Alexander Lukashenko. Belarusians almost do not pay attention to this. For this is not mathematics and not geography. Rhetoric is. Empty chatter ...
