Three months of our struggle for fair elections, ultimately, had the goal of electing through fair elections a government that would ensure the interests of the people, fill the constitutional democratic norms, the rights and freedoms of citizens with real content, including social rights that ensure a decent life for every citizen. The elections went the way they did. The main personalities of power and, consequently, the political regime in the country remained the same.

Yuryev's Day was such a holiday among the Slavs. At the end of November and beginning of December, the serf peasant was allowed to change his master on this day.

Our imitation democracy has long become commonplace. Everything is called the correct democratic words - “elections”, “election commission”, “vote counting”, “popular will”, etc. However, it means something completely different; all technologies are designed to produce a result that was previously thought up in the presidential administration (or local, if the elections are local).

A thirteen-year-old schoolgirl from the Belarusian outback read a patriotic rap and became a national hero. It would seem that the girl did not learn anything like that. Everything is within the bounds of decency, I would even say, decency to the point of disgrace. We have also seen different types. But! Almost a million views! An insane amount of reviews and comments, stories on television, invitations to TV shows and talk shows.
