Maxim Goryunov: “Lukashenko has no philosopher”

“If Lukashenko were a tyrant in some Greek polis, he would have his own philosopher. The philosopher would help him cope with the fear of death. Referring to Epicurus, Lucretius Carus and Socrates, he would convince Lukashenko that it is necessary to destroy independent media for news about your stroke is in bad taste,” writes the philosopher and publicist on his Facebook page.

“In the seventh decade, when there are a couple of steps left before meeting eternity, the news about a stroke should be greeted with a slight smile. Man is mortal. A dictator is a man. Therefore, a dictator is mortal - a simple reasoning that reconciles with the inevitable.

Alas, Lukashenko does not have a philosopher. Apparently, he doesn't even have a priest. As a rule, an Orthodox Christian has a Moscow listening device built into him; he doesn't trust the Catholic one. He is alone with his fear of death. Dictators are generally lonely.

Complete loneliness on the verge of death - who wouldn’t lose their nerve?”
