The next part of the recording is already from the camera in the booth of the border guard and with sound.
- Where do you follow?
- In Minsk.
- For what purpose?
“Submit an application for a political refugee status, ” the pedestrian says with a strong accent.
Then - already in the room against the background of a photocopy, he says that in the USA it is an outcast and an object of hatred that he likes Belarus, where he was twice last year, and that he reads Akhmatov and Pushkin. What the relationship of Akhmatov and Pushkin have to Belarus does not specify. Yes, and not so important.

It is impossible to establish a person who came to the border (a checkpoint by video) is easy to identify. This is Mark Nakles (the journalists of Mediazones and Mirrors also recognized him), an eccentric person from the USA, an active participant in Russian talk shows.
He appeared many times on the air on Channel One, “Russia”, “Star”. He was represented as a publicist and writer.
In social networks, Moscow is indicated. He writes about himself on Facebook: Russian TV Political Commentor, Writer, Consultant. In Substack, he calls himself "an American in exile." On the first day of the war, he wrote in social networks: "Putin is a dangerous crazy one." The last post is from March 7: that Ukraine will last from two weeks to a month and that it is not just aggression, but with deep historical roots. After that, silence, although from February 24 to March 7, Nadls published posts on social networks almost every day. And in early June - a hiking on the Belarusian border and a request to provide political asylum for reading Pushkin and Akhmatova.
There are at least two oddities here. The first: if Naklz really was in Moscow and was an “American in exile,” as he called himself, then he had to come to Belarus without any border crossings. Between Russia and Belarus for many years there is no official border. So, he crossed either the Polish-Belarusian, or the Lithuanian-Belarusian, or Latvian-Belarusian border. How and why he ended up there is completely incomprehensible.
And the second oddity is the silence of state propaganda. Typically, state television channels grab on such cases and “promote” until blue. And cases like this are a rarity. They can be counted on the fingers, and each time the asylum asylum asylum - either an eccentric, or a psychopath, or a criminal who threatens a prison at home. The Belarusian authorities love them, because they are happy to talk about the horrors of Western life. Televishes and documentaries are shot about them, write articles and take comments as experts in geopolitics, economics and other social sciences.
However, it is possible that the devastating stories about America with the participation of Mark Nakles are now planned to show - propaganda is in no hurry, she has nowhere to go. She has already hurried once.
On December 17 last year, at the height of the Migrant crisis on the Belarusian-Polish border, when hundreds of migrants from Syria, Iraq, Yemen tried to break through to the European Union every night, the Belarusian state media reported sensational news: the Polish border guard Emil Chechko himself came to Belarusians and asked for political asylum in connection with disagreement with disagreement with the conducted Polish policies regarding the migration crisis and the practice of inhumane refugee handling. ” From that day, Chechko became one of the main characters of Belarusian propaganda. In television, on press conferences, in newspaper interviews, he almost every day talked about the mass executions of migrants by Polish border guards. He said that he himself participated in mass executions.

Here, for example, that he said at a press conference on February 9: “On June 9, I participated in the first mass execution. When twilight was already gathering, our Land Rover stopped in the forest. One of the border guards ordered us to go towards the world from another car. There we saw a group of refugees. They stood around a dug pit, near which there was also a truck. Next to him were my colleagues from the military unit. The border guards, aiming at our heads (I saw this when I stood in a half -brown), ordered to shoot people. After we complied with this order, we were told to shoot the second group. Then we got into our SUV, arrived at some point of border guards. There we were told to clean the weapon, after which everyone again returned to that place. "
In general, in the first lanes, Chechko was oppressed tightly.
When the terrible stories about mass executions and secret burials bored even the inexperienced consumer of propaganda, the content of the news from the Polish soldier changed a bit. For example, he began to talk about the executions of volunteers who brought food to the border. Or wrote a statement to the Hague Tribunal with a demand to institute criminal proceedings against Poland and Lithuania for crimes against humanity.
Meanwhile, in Poland, a criminal case was opened against Emil Chechko for desertion. The press service of the Polish military police said that on the night of December 11 to 12, he was stopped for drunken driving. By the way, Chechko did not deny this and claimed that the soldiers on the border were given alcohol so that they would not think, shooting peaceful migrants.
In February, Emil Chechko began to cooperate with the Center “systemic human rights” controlled by the state. The head of the center Dmitry Belyakov in an interview said that he was renting an Emil's apartment for his own money. And on March 17 - exactly three months after the appearance in Belarus - Emil Chechko was found hanged in that apartment. The investigators and experts found signs of violent death. The guy was buried in a Polish military cemetery in the village of Dolginino Vileysk district.
A week after the death of Emil Chechko, an American Evan Newman, another exposure of Western customs, received a refugee certificate.
In January 2021, he participated in the assault on the Capitol. He managed to leave the USA before the charge , in February. By the way, on the website of the US Department of Justice it is written that Evan Newman is accused under six articles: from attack, resistance or obstructing the performance of official duties to violent penetration into the territory of the Capitol. File number-1: 21-MJ-331-GMH-1.
On the air of Belarusian television (of course, the plot was called “Goodby, America!” - how else?) Newman said that he first lived in Ukraine, where he got from Italy through Germany and Poland. But in the summer, according to Newman, the SBU began to follow him, and he decided to illegally cross the border to Belarus. He walked along the swamps, fought off the wild boars and snakes, fell into unsteady sands, but reached and asked for political asylum.
Over a few months of waiting for refugee status, Evan Newman managed to tell the state media about the dishonesty elections in the United States, about the double standards of the West and the beautiful free Belarus. In return, they wrote about him as the very “simple American whose stores were burned by BLM, who were looking for justice, asked uncomfortable questions, but lost almost everything and is persecuted by the US government.” This is a quote from the Brest regional newspaper Zarya.
It was in Brest that Evan Newman settled. There he was handed a refugee certificate, and in a festive atmosphere, and not a passportist, but personally the head of the citizenship and migration department, Yuri Brazinsky, who promised a lot of opportunities to realize human potential in a socially oriented state.
However, in Belarus, they always seek and find refuge precisely such strange persons that the ordinary world seems to be distorted by hostile reality.
It was there that back in 1998, the Swiss Jurgen Graf fled from justice. He argued that there were no Holocaust that not six million, but 300 thousand Jews were killed and that the Cyclone B gas was an ordinary tearful thing that does not kill anyone. The odious count called himself "revisionist." (By the way, Evan Newman calls himself “Technoluddite.”) After the sentence (the humane Swiss court sentenced him to 15 months of imprisonment), without waiting for an appeal, he came to Belarus. In Minsk, he married, straightened his wings, began to distribute anti -Semitic interviews, and then completely moved to Moscow, which was quite consistent with historical logic.

And before the count in Belarus, Lithuanian communists were hidden, accused of murders of civilians in Vilnius in 1991. The main ideologist of the Lithuanian Communist Party, Ivan Kucherov Lukashenko, actually bought it from Lithuanian prison: by his disposal, a bail of $ 50 thousand was made for Kucherov, after which he quickly left for Minsk, where he soon died.
Maybe a certain pigeon mail has since been carrying legends around the world - they say, there is such a country where the head of state of devoted “anti -wizards” from the dungeons is redeemed, and then gives out money and mansions? True, not everyone is lucky with the mansions - except perhaps the former president of Kyrgyzstan Kurmanbek Bakiev, who was allocated 70 acres exactly side by side with the residence of Lukashenko. However, there is not an idea, but for cash. But the pigeons do not have to know about this at all.
And, of course, it should not be argued that as soon as Lukashenko came to power, so all Fricky and psychos rushed to Belarus for happiness and refuge.
Long before, in 1960, a great lover of Soviet values and collectivism Lee Harvey Oswald settled in Minsk. The same. He arrived with a tourist group in the USSR and asked for political asylum. The Soviet Union sent him to Minsk.

Lee Harvey Oswald lived in Minsk for two years. He worked at the radio factory. By the way, to teach him the Russian language was ordered to be the future first leader of the independent Belarus, Stanislav Shushkevich. Later, when Oswald returned to the United States, having sipped a large spoon of Soviet joys, and was accused of killing John Kennedy, Shushkevich said: no, this one did not kill, not with his intellect. Now with such intelligence in Belarus they go now.
