Lukashenka: Informatics, Mathematics And Similar Stuff Have Not Been Useful In My Life

The dictator admits: his student years were the hardest for him.

– For me, they were not the happiest years, but the hardest years. I do not know about you, but that was my experience: when I was learning, mastering history, and when I had to deal with economics. I am a humanitarian by nature, and they put me on a bench and forced me to study computer science, higher mathematics, etc., which basically have not come useful in my life, – BelTA quotes Lukashenka.

We remind that Lukashenka has problems with human sciences as well. The most famous scandalous Belarusian ruler’s statements are connected with history and culture.

“What are we ashamed of? Skaryna was not only Belarusian, he also lived in St. Petersburg and worked there,” – in 2006, the ruler shared unexpected information about the famous Belarusian enlightener and the first printer. At that, it is well known that Frantsysk Skaryna lived in 1490-1541, and Petersburg was founded in 1703.

In 2002, during the “Freedom of Speech” talk show on the NTV television channel, Lukashenka said that he had learned from verses by Vasil Bykau.

“Aliaksandr, he writes prose, – Savik Shuster, the talk show host, tried to correct the blunder of the ruler. “And poems, too ... Well, you tell me about Vasil Bykau, whose poems I was learning at school and was learning well,” – Lukashenka was outraged. Then, the statement was refuted by the classic of Belarusian literature himself, who assured that he had never written poetry.
