  1. After the video of the last election, where his opponent was rounded up and taken away on a flimsy pretext, his fondness for this theater of legitimacy is incomprehensible.

  2. finally, a chance to cite this incredible quote he came up with earlier this month:

    >”Electoral legislation should not be violated under any circumstances [in Belarus]. To be honest, we don’t need it at all. We have to spend this time with dignity so that, first of all, we don’t get all kinds of ‘garbage’ thrown at us from abroad.
    Also inside, so as not to spoil people’s mood.

    >Elections should be like a celebration. We [i.e. Belarus] don’t need an American show where they get shot in the ear or in the head. We need these elections to be held with dignity, and not to be criticized once again.”
