We must admit we do not know much about your country so it is difficult for us to brainstorm on it. The words that came into our minds were: Soviet Union, cold, communism, Stalin, Lenin, authoritarism, dictatorship, poverty, statues, personality cult, Minsk, isolated, abandoned. Please forgive us if this is not true. We would like to know more about you.Have a look at the questions we have posted in the question folder. |

Dear friends from Brazil.Nice to hear from you of course butwe were a little bit surpised that people in your country accept us in this way, but may be it's lack of information.Stalin and Lenin they are not our leaders /one from Russia and another one fromGeorgia/ ,communism,socialism were in our past.The point is that we got independence just 10 years ago and lived under four Empires all the time/Lithuanian , Polish,Russian and USSR/but because we have our own voice and have bad relations with USA/some time ago even exiled their ambassador because they are teaching how to live and build democarcy everytime/so we are isolated now in the world.Yes, we have a lot of mistakes at the moment but isolation is not a way for building one Europe where every voice is heard.Belarus was one of co-founders of UN in cooperation with USSR,USA , UK and etc. So, the main aim of the interantional project i guess to know each other better , our way of life and culture and we as future Presidents should learn a lesson how to develop our countries and manage international issues.Bye for now, Nikita |
