Uncle with a dog

Belarusian performance for the main viewer

Minsk is preparing for the parade. On the prospectus of the winners, the stands are chosen, on which someone will have to stand on May 9. In the evenings, two to three times a week overlap the traffic due to rehearsals of the parade. However, the rehearsal on April 29 was mysteriously canceled: first they brought military personnel to the place, and an hour later they loaded into the buses and taken back. On May 7, a general rehearsal will be held, and on May 9 - a parade with the participation of three thousand military personnel.

Three thousand are those who will march. And how many of them will stand in the stands, how many students will be driven to create a mass with flags on the sidelines of the avenue is unknown. We will see this only on May 9, as well as the accompaniment of Alexander Lukashenko. It is possible that he will stand on the rostrum not only with his son Kolya, but also with a small white dog, like Olga Buzova.

The fact is that in Belarus there are not only rehearsals of the parade and football matches. Here, on April 25, Lenin’s subbotnik also passed. A few days before, Alexander Lukashenko explained why he does not cancel the subbotnik. Because people still go to work on Friday, and if they go out to work on Saturday, this will not increase their risk of infection with coronavirus. In general, where is Friday, there is Saturday. According to official figures, two and a half million Belarusians took part in the subbotnik. They dug “from here to lunch, painted, precious, swept.

For schoolchildren, by the way, that Saturday they made a worker: there is nothing to sit at home when adults on a Saturday, let them get used to real life.

Alexander Lukashenko, that day, was engaged in the landing of trees in the National Park "Pripyatsky", where one of his residences is located. As usual, the youngest son Nikolai with seedlings was nearby. And on Lukashenko’s shoulder a basket with a white spitz hung. Czech once described exactly the same. And now Philip Kirkorov and Olga Buzova are published with white spits. Spitz in a plastic basket in the middle of the field during a subbotnik - this seems to be the quintessence of the Agroglamur style.

Why did Svitz need in the middle of the field? Most likely, because Nikolai has grown up and will no longer go for a little boy called up, standing on the rostrum next to his father, to emotion and create the image of a tyrant with a human face. Now the dog will serve as a human face. I wonder if she will come to the parade?

By the way, seven thousand Belarusians signed a petition to the Ministry of Defense with a request to cancel or transfer the parade. The Minister of Defense Vladimir Khrenin even gave an official answer: “The epidemiological situation that is currently emerging in the Republic of Belarus allows armed forces to conduct planned combat training measures. Preparation and conduct of the parade is an integral part of combat training of troops. During the training, the personnel improves skills, including driving and servicing equipment assigned to them, increases professional skills. ”

The epidemiological situation in the Republic of Belarus is really swaying. According to the Ministry of Health, on May 2, 15828 cases of infection with coronavirus were registered in Belarus. Moreover, if in March the daily growth was calculated by units - not even dozens, then in April the score went hundreds. In the first decade, it was 100-200 people a day, in the second-300-500, and from April 24-700-900. On May 2, the number of cases increased by 911 people. And if in mid -April, Belarus, according to WHO, entered the leaders in terms of the speed of the virus, then the incidence rate was 273 cases per million (with a global number 238), then in early May - 1490 cases per million (in the world - 431).

For comparison: in neighboring Poland on the same day on May 2, 13375 cases of infection were registered, in Ukraine - 11411. At the same time, the population of Poland - 38 million, Ukraine - 41 million, Belarus - 9.4 million. So with the incidence rate and the distribution rate, everything is clear. But the number of dead, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Health, is 97 people. That is, all over the world, mortality is from 6 to 13 percent, and in Belarus - 0.6.

The Belarusian blogosphere has already deduced the formula: "They die exclusively from pneumonia, and cured from coronavirus."

Although I have no doubt that the real figures of the dead we will still hear. Lukashenko now saves them like an ace in a sleeve.

Until recently, there was a hope that he would sell the parade for 60 million euros - as so much promised to allocate the European Commission to fight the coronavirus. At the same time, the EC asked in return to adhere to WHO recommendations. And WHO recommends canceling all mass events, introduce remote work and distance learning, suspend the activities of all secondary economic objects. It would seem that the normal price is 60 million euros for the cancellation of the parade. But why trifle, if in the end you can get more? If then, after the parade (and by this time, post -pass -infected are also added), put the real numbers on the table, you can make the whole world shudder and immediately quit the help of Belarus. Surely the usual argument “We shed blood for you for all at the front, and now we shed”, and the world will have to not only shudder, but also be ashamed. And these are other numbers, not at all miserable 60 million euros.

However, there is another reason for the defiant behavior of Alexander Lukashenko. Yes, he behaves defiantly. Throughout the world they die - in Belarus "not a single person died of coronavirus." All over the world, Easter services are online - in Belarus, believers are actively calling in the church, because "you can not close a person to the road to the temple." All over the world they close schools and mastering distance learning methods - in Belarus, in addition to the usual five -day, they also make educational for schoolchildren for two Saturdays in a row. Of course, at first glance it looks like a manic stage. Or as the behavior of HIV terrorists, who, knowing the diagnosis, intentionally infect the maximum possible number of people. Or even as “catching hype” - all the world media did not write about Lukashenko for a long time, but now they write. But there is another component in this demonstrativeness.

As an actor, before the performance, he looks through the gap in the curtain into the hall, looking for the grateful face of the viewer, for whom it will be possible to play at any room, so Alexander Lukashenko always plays for the viewer named Vladimir Putin. And now his benefit. Putin is sitting somewhere in the online bunker-Lukashenko puts a candle in the church, meets working at the factory and plants something in the fields of the country. Putin extended quarantine - Lukashenko held a subbotnik and is preparing for the parade. Putin suffered a parade - Lukashenko advises to be treated with vodka and a tractor. Putin fell ill and “jumped out” - Lukashenko fearlessly holds meetings in his residence. Even against Putin’s labradors, Lukashenko now has a white spitz.

That's just the fee for tickets for this idea - human lives. And the genre is Gignol.
