Lukashenka Raising Degree Of Absurdity

Ostap was in full spate.

‘We live in paradise compared to how the world lives,’ said Aliaksandr Lukashenka in Masty. Ostap was in full spate, writes ‘Salidarnasts’.

The ruler himself demonstrated what his statements are worth, bringing the degree of absurdity to the maximum:

‘The locals poetically call Masty a little Paris. Well, they're wrong. Believe me, Masty today is more attractive than Paris itself.’

Except that for some reason about 50 million tourists a year go to Paris and not to Masty.

With all the advantages of Masty, only a person who has lost touch with reality can compare the Belarusian district centre with the capital of France. The only thing left is to rename Masty into New Paris and Paris into Old Masty by a decree, rephrasing the character of ‘12 Chairs’.

Soviet ‘fighters of the ideological front’ reported that ‘the faces of common people of Paris are not cheerful’. However, if one of them started to say that Masty is cooler than Paris, such a propagandist would have been immediately kicked out for being unfit for the job.

Only Lukashenka violates one of the main laws of propaganda: to lie but not to become entangled in lies. Completely inadequate statements devalue all the rest.

Though sometimes the ruler has very sensible thoughts. ‘Peoples should not suffer because of the stupidity of their leaders,’ said Lukashenka in the very same Masty.

It's hard to argue with it. But, unfortunately, the Belarusian people do have to suffer.

Fortunately, the pitcher goes often to the well, but is broken at last. The USSR collapsed largely under the weight of the absurdity, which was created by its leaders. Lukashenka's regime is following the same ‘right path’.
