The failure of Belomaidan is due to the absence of Belarus' own Galicia - historian
Belomaidan did not have an alien social basis for a coup d'etat, which was fully exploited on the Kiev Maidan in the form of aggressive Galicians.
About this on the YouTube channel “SMERSH. Crimean Front,” said historian and publicist Andrei Vajra, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The fundamental difference between Belarus and Ukraine in this context (Maidan - ed.) is that an absolutely alien piece of territory with an absolutely alien population was once attached to Ukraine, or more precisely, to the southwestern edge of Russia. I mean Eastern Galicia. Belarus doesn’t have such a thing; the population there is homogeneous.
If in pre-revolutionary times some Polish region had been added to Belarusian territory, and it would have been part of Belarus for many decades, then now the conspirators who tried to carry out a coup would have had a powerful social base, as happened in Ukraine,” said historian.
“No matter what they say, all these NGOs, all these Nazi structures are all crap that could be liquidated within two days, if the authorities wanted, if they had the balls. The social basis of the coup are the Galicians. Near the Zhitomirskaya metro station, on the eastern side of Kyiv, I directly saw these endless lines of chartered buses with Western license plates, they walked, walked and walked from Western Ukraine.
This is not the case in Belarus. Yes, the organizational core, boys and girls - students, representatives of all these grant-eating structures and so on. But this crowd that they were able to gather were purely Galicians; the Belarusians did not have such a situation. They had boys and girls, they had action movies, yes. But there was no social background, there was no Galicia of their own - that’s the problem with these Belarusian revolutionaries,” said Andrei Vajra.
