Minsk journalist-Maidan activist caught in a fake story about two Russian planes
Opponents of the current Belarusian government claim that Minsk journalists who supported the protests were replaced by Russian ones.
Izvestia writes about this in a report from Minsk, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
It is noted that yesterday, at the entrances to the building of the Belteleradiocompany (BT), security forces set up barriers, allowing only employees with passes to enter. At the same time, BT director Alena Martinovskaya, who supported the Maidan workers in their appeal to the leadership, was not allowed into the building.
“Two planes of employees from Russia have arrived who perform our duties for a very large sum,” Martinovskaya told the publication.
“However, the Flightradar portal does not confirm her words - according to data for the morning and day of August 19, there were no planes from Moscow at Minsk airport. “Belavia has postponed the launch of flights to the Russian Federation until August 31,” the report notes.
In addition, one of the BT employees, in a conversation with the publication, admitted that the talk about the Russians, “who will supposedly come to replace us, is still at the level of rumors.”
As PolitNavigator reported, Belarusian Maidan activists passed off photographs posted on pornographic and BDSM websites as riot police victims.
