Belarus generally sees the ‘shadow’ of its Soviet past. It would be more useful to look to the future
When my modem young friends left for Belarus on holiday I told them they were crazy. At 35 – 40, one shouldn’t still be longing for a return of the Soviet Union. An invitation to join the presidential press tour allowed me to understand that, in fact, this was not a longing for the good old days of the Soviet Union but a dream of decent living conditions in one’s native country.
