'Dictator's Entourage Is Full-Fledged Participants Of Gun House Race'

Makei's death highlighted one of the junta's main problems.

Telegram channel Nick and Mike writes about the staff hunger in Lukashenka's entourage:

- Makei's death has highlighted one of the junta's main problems - human resources. It is extremely limited. Most of those who occupy key positions in the system are no younger than the deceased.

The junta does not take care of its own, exploiting those who are in the ranks to the limit. Zayats is a good example. He is being exploited despite his severe diagnosis.

Let's return to Makei. Apart from a nominal ministerial position, Makei occupied an important place in intra-systemic behind-the-scenes games, where he played independently and was not just a yes-man.

So this is a serious loss for the junta. In the Foreign Ministry itself, there could be serious reshuffles from the press secretary to the deputy in charge of human resources. Makei's people are extremely vulnerable right now.

However, the fate of the junta's Foreign Ministry is of little concern to us. The scale of the erosion within the system invites increased interest. Again, we note that the closest entourage is also full-fledged participants of the gun house race.

The junta will continue its negative expansion for natural reasons. Is the Belarusian society ready to seize the agenda and the levers of control? Personalities and structures that will play the role of statists will leave the agenda.
