In the annual press freedom ranking compiled by Reporters Without Borders, Belarus has for years occupied one of the last 30 places of the 180 countries listed. Following massive protests against ruler Alexander Lukashenko, hundreds of media professionals were arrested in Belarus in 2020 and 40 were sentenced to several years in prison. Many journalists have left the country. One of them is Maria Savushkina, who has been threatened several times by the Belarusian secret service (KGB) and now runs the successful satirical media project ChinChin from Berlin.

Both of Belarus and Russia are the last dictatorships in Europe
A typical brainwashed by the western liberal democracy, which has created so much war, “color revolution” and “regime change” around the world.
Sad that free speech is dying in Germany too. You can criticize the Eastern Block, but not Israel.
Glad i grew up in Australia
Russia: am I a joke to you?
Listen very, very carefully: the seals that are written about in the revelation of John will open this year, there will be a big earthquake, famine, war between part of the world and Israel, some people will impersonate Jesus, even perform some miracles, don’t believe them, remember what is written in the revelation of John about when Jesus and the Kingdom of Heaven will come, also know that you must not bow and pray in before crosses and images and all other works of human hands, I know it sounds strange but it’s true, those people who do this will suffer from what is written in the revelation of John, so know this, also do not eat blood. Celebrate Sabbath, if you do not believe that no work of human hands can be worshiped, then when the last days come, check whether people who worship and pray in front of crosses and images suffer by what is written in the revelation of John and in the prophets. If I'm not mistaken, the last days will come no later than the first half of autumn, but they may come a little earlier or later, remember that after the big earthquake you do not bow and pray before crosses or images, also read the revelation of John again and do good deeds, help poor, crippled, orphans, widows, it will be easier for you in the last days if you help them, because God can help those who do right deeds. Son and Spirit are not a God, Only Father is God, and do not call anyone on earth your spiritual father because you have One Father on Heaven
mark of beast is a cross and icons are images of beast, capital of babylon is rome, in original bible there is not a word cross, but there is word stauros which means a stake on which peoples where executed, Jesus died on a vertical stauros not on a vertical and horizontal cross, symbol of Jesus is a tree, because it's similar to a stake and they both vertical, Name of God is Jehovah, pray ONLY to Him, not to the Mary not to the saints, angels, even not to Jesus, pray as it's written in Matthew 6:9-13, also do not bow and pray or use star of david, it is not his star, it is a symbol of four elements, also a pagan symbol, as I know. If you have some questions then ask.
The last dictatorship in Europe. This phase has been inaccurate for almost twenty years by now. Stop using it already
