@Xanne Of course she had, her husband is in jail, and she is not a professional revolutionary, she is only a housewife.
But the very fact that at least they are trying to resist is heartwarming.
In her place, I would go crazy from the stress. Lukashenko is a wily and cold blooded murderer. A couple of his opponents suddenly disappeared in the past.
Наиболее известные случаи исчезновения людей в Белоруссии происходили в период президентства Александра Лукашенко. В основном, они затрагивали противников президента.
== Предыстория ==
На первых президентских выборах в Белоруссии в 1994 году победу одержал Александр Лукашенко. Когда после избрания Лукашенко начал реализовывать совсем не такую политику, как он обещал, многие члены его команды перешли в оппозицию. В 1995 году он оказал давление на Верховный совет, чтобы провести референдум, являвшийся незаконным. Это вызвало антипрезидентские митинги, которые нередко разгонялись ОМОНом. Уже в 1996...
"Disappearances of people in Belarus"
The Head of the Belarussian Central Election Committee disagreed with the results of the referendum that gave Lukashenko sweeping powers. He suddenly disappeared in 1999.
Shards of car glass and drops of blood were found in the street. He and his friend have not been seen since.
Lukashenko is a thug like Putin.
Putin's long-time critic, journalist Anna Politkovskaya was killed on Putin's birthday, by the way. A gift. A true mafia state.

For seven years she refused to give up reporting on the war despite numerous acts...
And still the moron Macron calls his "friend Putin" and visits to shake hands.
The story of appeasing Hitler has taught them nothing.
> In 2004, Politkovskaya had a conversation with Ramzan Kadyrov, then Prime Minister of Chechnya. One of his assistants said to her, "Someone ought to have shot you back in Moscow, right on the street, like they do in your Moscow". Ramzan repeated after him: "You're an enemy. To be shot...."
Kadyrov is President of Chechnya, a state in the Caucasus that Russia keeps under occupation.
> Politkovskaya had planned to file a lengthy story on the torture practices believed to be used by the Chechen security detachments known as Kadyrovites. In her final interview, she described Kadyrov—now president of Chechnya—as the "Chechen Stalin of our days"
A couple of years ago a story emerged of mass torture and killings of LGBT men in Chechnya. Some managed to flee abroad.
