Belarusians To Russians: We Have No Brothers, We Are Alone In The Family

The post on social media sparked a wave of discussion.

A Threads user under the nickname meyraith asked Belarusians on this social network whether they consider Russians to be older brothers and whether they want Belarus to become part of Russia. Belarusians responded harshly to the post. It gathered thousands of comments.

"I have my own brother, and his name is Oleg... there are no other brothers..."

"Why are Russians older brothers, and not younger or adopted or half-brothers at all? Where is the arrogant attitude in the question?"

"Russians are not older brothers for Ukrainians and Belarusians, they are the younger brother who served time in prison and got involved with bandits, and now he is forcing love and respect out of his relatives."

"No, we are alone in the family, thank you."

"It is Russian imperials who invented that they are older and that they are brothers. It's a very convenient position to teach and decide how others should live".
