Zhydve! Soros' companies left Belarus LAST YEAR. Lukashenko was happy wiih that colour revolutions guy running a business in a country where he sponsored "opposition". Tikhanovskaya went to davos WEF in January. Lukashenko is an official member of WEF and is currently working on minsk 15 minutes city Rish sunak - another member of WEF is working on oxford 15 minutes city. Keep bleating, sheep.

She is so ordinary yet so extraordinary. A leader from the people and for the people. Best wishes to Belarusian, Ukrainians and all the other oppressed people fighting for freedom and democracy.

God, please, help people of Belarus and Ukraine!

Zhyve Belarus. Thanks Svyatlana! 🤍🤍🤍❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍🤍👏👏👏👏

I have been following Sviatlana on social media for almost 2 years now and I have always been impressed by her. I have watched her evolve as she grows the group around her and I feel that it is only a matter of time before the Lukashenko regime falls and she can step in to guide a transitional government to a free and democratic Belarus. I also want to add that so much of what we see of Sviatlana is her very staid and public-facing image so it was wonderful to see a few candid moments, especially the conversation between her, Can, and his wife. Being able to share in that moment of her sharing a funny story and a laugh was a pleasant diversion for just a moment from knowing she's carrying the weight of a country and thousands of political prisoners on her shoulders. An excellent documentary, thank you for making it.

Вы при случае поинтересуйтесь у неё, откуда её муж взял 900 тыс долларов, которые у него изъяли при аресте. А то режим Лукашенко утверждает, что нехорошие люди наняли Тихановского с целью организации цветной революции, по украинскому образцу. Вроде он даже не за свободу боролся, а исходил из своих корыстных целей. Как впрочем и сама Светлана. Которая до ареста мужа, не имела никакого отношения ни к выборам, ни к свободе. Может, она и сейчас, просто ртом деньги зарабатывает?

А потом вдруг, когда Лукашенко перестал устраивать запад, нам попытались подсунуть, какое то откровенное фуфло. Зачем же так? Ведь в Белоруссии была реальная оппозиция.

Amazing

Tsikhanouskaya's bravery and determination to secure freedom for political prisoners, including her husband, are awe-inspiring. Her resilience and advocacy on the international stage highlight the strength of her cause. This film is a testament to the power of ordinary individuals rising to lead extraordinary movements, sparking change for the greater good.

Great 👍 channel

Interestingly enough you showed Ms.Yarmoshina, head of Lukashenko's election committee. Since it was her who accepted and approved the documents from Tsihanouskaja for presidential candidacy instead of her husband who had been jailed, it made her participation in the manipulated election at all possible. So some have speculated that the regime's inner circle were as much tired of the situation in the country, the rising poverty, stagnation and the lack of basic freedoms as the Belarusian folk.

@oljabaranova2465

Жыл бұрын

Really wish to agree. Another reason why Svetlanas candidacy may have been allowed is because they needed to show voters had a choice...all legit candidates were imprisoned...why not allow a new unknown name who won't appeal to masses. Svetlana wasn't a threat in their eyes, so they let it slide. If Putins agenda falls, Lukashenko will tremble. If Russias current regime holds, Lukashenkos regime will hold, its not enough for Lukashenkos inner circles to kinda be a bit tired, they have to be appaled to the point they are ready to loose everything for the change.

Someone who puts the freedom of an entire country before his own life, a true example of life. We, the common people, don't even have the courage to say what is right...😟

True love for there country.....where are help.....to this peopel

May the good people of Belarus see freedom soon.

This lady Sviatlana is a true Doyenne, and her husband Siarhiej is a pillar of strength and hope for her and for the future of Belarus'. But like Putin entrenched in power in Russia's Kremlin, Lukashenko is standing in that nation's path to democracy, freedom and progression. Hopefully in time, sooner rather than later, we will see both nations' leaderships pass to people like Alexei Navalny and the Cichanoŭskis. 🙏🏽

Freedom is a hifty

I sincerely hope in my lifetime, she could go back to Belarus and become president to promote democracy!!! She is so relatable!!!

Had a hard time not vomiting when hearing the inhumane speech at 17:00

Nice film. Lots of material and many characters. I find it sad that the people Ms. Tsihanouskaja is representing are currently in the shadow, while she shines. In the shadow of the war between Ukraine and Russia, often seen as aggressors. Like you said that people are expecting leadership while she wants to step back. The thing is I don't believe she's sincere when she's saying she wants to step back. I wonder how she sees her role in the current situation, in this war, the situation that's so different from the democratic aspirations of two years ago. I have respect for Ms. Ms. Tsihanouskaja's hardworking, style conscious and hardy ways, yet I can't help feeling that she's been keeping stepping out of other people's background, first of her husband Sergey, then of her co-runners in the election, "three ladies" together with Ms. Kalesnikova and Ms. Tsepkalo, with whom she broke contact afterwards. Now of the couple of men advisors, one of whom Mr. Viacorka is talking in this video about her. Representation and leadership must come hand in hand, otherwise what's the point of representing, and who exactly is being represented, to whom, to show what? just my thoughts after watching this video, nice job btw

Pootin’s puppet need to kick out

Let's admit that corruption in those countries such as Belarus, Turkey, Russia and Ukraine is not only about government or their leaders, their opposition parties and people are also corrupt. I don't expect anything better from those countries but more corruption. If you think you have a good heart just leave your country and fight for a country where people have better hearts.

She reminds me Yulia Tymoshenko, ex-prime minister of Ukraine, who found guilty of abuse of her power, sentenced to seven years in jail, and ordered her to pay the state $188 million! I hope Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya may not end up in the same path!

The really sad thing is!, you are good people, with love and things we in the west don’t have!. As you say!, the fire here as gone out and it was long long ago!. We truly don’t have that!, what we do have is an act 😕 And in this performance!, the whole world is our stage 😔

Kolesnikova was intimidated and pressured to leave the country, but while being on neutral ground she got off the car from the rear window, tore her local passport to pieces and went back on foot. On Belarusian territory she was arrested immediately.

Seeing brave and intelligent women like Sviatlana stand up for the rights of her fellow citizens as well as for people who love freedom and peace everywhere makes me feel that there is still hope. Here in the U.S. I used to consider myself to be a proud member of the centrist, liberal wing of the Republican party but in our last two elections I voted for Sanders and Biden. We can't allow an autocratic goon like Trump to win another election.

The problem with people like Sviatlana is that they never wield real power. We (the West) tend to praise them, build a nice human story around them, give them all kinds of prizes, but their best possible option is to become our puppets. Even if they manage to become the leaders of their respective countries (which rarely happens), they are played by the political actors who have actual power behind them. We have tried this scenario many many times, in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Venezuela, and most recently, in Ukraine. These were not success stories (and definitely not democracies) despite the constant propaganda blasted from all possible channels. The moment they are no longer useful, they are discarded like garbage, which teaches everybody else not to trust the West. So, we can produce thousands of such "documentaries", but at the end of the day, they are mostly useless propaganda - not very different from Russian or Chinese propaganda.

Be Careful what you wish for ,Belarusians. We had a housewife turned president during the Yellow Movt. People Power after the Marcos regime & she sold the Philippines to monopolies corporatist interests.
