"Locals Will Hate You": A Russian Woman Was Explained Why She Should Not Go To Belarus

First "we have one language", then "save us, Russian speakers are being abused".

Threads user under the nicknameJust Sophi asked about the pros and cons of moving to Belarus and received over a thousand pieces of advice in the comments. The website Charter97.org cites some of them:

- We don't need you. This is a quiet occupation. First "we have one language", then "save us, Russian-speaking people are offended".

- Don't come to us, stay here. You'll be here to cross on red when there are no cars and spoil our statistics. No way.

- Because most Russians behave very badly in Belarus: they are rude in stores, resent that you can't pay with Russian money, very confidently declare that Belarus is an appendage of Russia, park on lawns, don't observe traffic rules and many other things.

- Learn what "chemistry" and "household chemistry" are. You may need it.

- They check phones at the border.

- The main disadvantage: Russians are not liked here for their rudeness and inadequate behavior! You don't need to come here, stay at home, please.

- Don't come, please. We don't like garbage.

- Minuses: the locals will hate you..
