In Iran, North Korea, China, etc. ... These regimes that oppress their people suddenly begin to make their right to oppression clear. The word "infection" struck me as a perfect description of the global situation. This is a matter of personal opinion. For my part, I write my speeches in French in a translation application and I review the result before transmitting it.

The fact that an est.85% of the interviewees agreed that their country is at the bottom of the democratic scale with good reason-most heartbreaking and damning reasons were given by Ilyia, tells me and us that Belarussians : 1. Have no delusions of grandeur about their 'motherland' vs the Russians, who, young and old who are fiercely proud of their country and its communist imperialistic past whose end they mourn, still, 2. They are fully aware of it is happening in their country. 3.

As a person that was born and grew in russia, I can safely say - nobody gives a damn about this. At least people in the outback, where I am. Lots of them get tired of geopolitics. Many people in the country have to work in two jobs. Probably, only z outcasts wrote something about this in their telegram channels.

Hello from Ukraine! I won’t speak for everyone, but North Korea is their ally and judging by the posts in their groups, they root for North Korea and rejoice at the escalation on the part of North Korea.

it is , the more so because it is assisted by russia. But even without that, all autocracies are occupying the terrytory they tyranise

It seems to me that if a country boasts with democracy in its name, actually most of the country's democracy is spent right there, and very little is left to be actually put into action.

I so wish for freedom for the Belarusian people.

Could any Belarusian or Russian just imagine their leader in constant courtrooms like Trump is in in the U.S.A. right now? Just imagine it? Even a former President in the U.S.A. can be forced into public humiliation by his criminal actions being exposed to the World at a courtroom in the U.S.A. Here an ex-President struggles and fails to beat the law irregardless of how powerful and rich they are. Thats the beauty of having a Democratic country. Whether Trump avoids the punishment or not, he has been publicly HUMILIATED and a laughing stock to most citizens of the United States. Whether you hate the U.S.A. or not ... the fact is ... None of their citizens are worried they will go to jail if they publicized their negative views on Trump.

Trump has not yet failed to beat the law. In what other democracy do sitting Presidents engage in insurrection, tell blatant lies, and ruin the lives of election workers? And everybody sits back and watches as it happens. Perhaps this is part of the reason that the US is not regarded as a full democracy.

Yet I wonder how Trump was elected in the first place. Is it because his only opponent was Hilary Clinton and nobody wanted to vote for her? If it is so, how is it "democratic" when people can only vote for the "lesser evil" of the two and can't even lawfully choose ANYBODY else? Is that the famous "people's power" and "US democracy"? They might as well have offered a choice between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini and nobody would bat an eye

As an American, this is really sad to watch. Belarus has seemingly no individual freedoms and negligible political rights. Any American that takes US democracy for granted needs to watch this video.

At 5:04 Ilya uses the term “ОПГ” which stands for “organized crime syndicate”. When he says that Belarus is not a country, he implies that Belarus is not a country of laws but an organized crime syndicate.

And this is what the GOP and some Americans want for the USA.

Ilya’s forthrightness is admirable. Although, we have what passes as a democracy in Britain, and you CAN say whatever you want here, I feel that both Belarus and Russia will achieve what we have. You can say what you like, but no one will listen or act upon it. So I don’t think there is any difference between our “democracy” or Ilya’s experience. God bless you Ilya. Stay safe.

How different is the comment section compared to a Russian interview. I am also sympathetic to the Belarusians, I hope they can piggyback to the Ukrainian victory, from what I understand they also contributed to the resistance in the initial phases of the full scale invasion.

And now the strongest military alliance in the history of mankind is shamefully losing a proxy war to a "gas station country". The rest of the world is laughing at you. The Arabs are defiantly spitting in your face, and you are still trying to pretend to be a hegemon. The time of the West has passed, just accept it.

Great interview Danii. Its refreshing to see and hear what ordinary citizens think. There is no perfect political system ..I'm from Australia. Our democracy is barely 100 years old and is still evolving. When the founding fathers decided to unite the original colonies (of Australia) they looked around the world and tried to copy the best bits. Thankfully all this happened relatively peacefully. Maybe one day Belarus will achieve true democracy (if the people want it). It's difficult but I think worth it.

Let me pay for that last mans dentures, its people like him that might make the difference
