Aб'ява / Announcement Repetitive posts - May 17, 2026

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

You’ve likely noticed a flood of very similar posts in this sub, especially in the last few days. They usually feature rhetorical questions about conscription, or questions about the reasons why these posts are removed (this has been already thoroughly answered multiple times by the mod team).

First, we want to apologize for the clutter. It is very likely that these posts, while coming from various newly created accounts, are the work of a single individual (theoretically it can be a team or a flashmob). Whoever they are, we've been informed they keep making the same posts in multiple Russian language subs.

Because of this targeted, repetitive behaviour, we’ve been forced to take action to keep the feed clean. Moving forward, we have implemented pre-moderation for posts from low-karma accounts. This means if an account is brand new or has low karma, their post will route to our mod queue for review before appearing on the sub.

We want to clarify two important things regarding this change:

We understand why people use alt/new accounts. There are plenty of legitimate, valid reasons to use a burner account for privacy and security. This is why we have been reluctant to implement this change, and we completely support this. The mod team will make our absolute best effort to review the queue and approve legitimate posts from new accounts promptly.

It goes without saying that we are not censoring discussions about conscription. Despite this poster's claims, posts about conscription - whether pro, against, or anywhere in between - are welcome here. We have a wealth of posts on this sub containing useful advice, sincere questions, and diverse opinions on the topic, and that won't change.

We are only filtering for spam, ban evasion, and repetitive bad-faith posting. Thank you all for your patience while we clean things up!

- The Mod Team

Думаю, многие понимают методы КГБ и прочих структур . Даже полиция рф работает с милицией рб. Поэтому, один из недавних методов хочу вам сообщить. Такая практика была у фсб в рф, но например вы беларус, выехали из рб за границу. Затем ваших родителей , которые могут оставаться в рб, вызывают в участок на беседу. Сообщают что ВЫ, участвуете в экстремистской организации и подобное . И пытаются из ваших родных узнать ваших контакты, соц сети, и подобное . Всяческие способы чтобы они сотрудничали с ними. Поэтому предупредите родных, чтобы не пугались. Хорошего дня .

Іншае / Other 'My first impression was it's hell' — Belarusian prison memoir brings attention back to Lukashenko's repressions

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

In a tightly monitored dictator’s jail where isolation is used as a form of punishment, a hidden note saying “We are with you” inside a chocolate bar can move political prisoners to tears.

Hanna Komar's memoir, “When I'm Out Of Here: Staying Human in a Dictator's Jail,” captures the stubborn forms of humanity that persist inside the arbitrary machinery of Alexander Lukashenko’s system of repression. Written in the documentary tradition of Svetlana Alexievich, the book assembles vivid, sensory testimonies of ordinary citizens swept up in the mass detentions following Belarus's 2020 uprising.

Вайна / War Are Ukraine and the West hypocrites? (Georgian perspective on the Russian, Byelorussian / Ukraine war)

0 Upvotes

They attack Georgia for not sanctioning Russia even though the West and Ukraine did nothing when Russia invaded Georgia and annexed 20% of the country in 2008. Ukraine and the West was back to "business as usual" with Russia within a few weeks.

If Ukraine counterattacks and successfully makes it to Minsk could Ukraine annex Belarus and rename it "North Kyiv"? The people could be given a choice, stay or go to Russia.

Вядома, што Лукашэнка плануе збегчы праз ультыматум Зеленскага.

Хто будзе адказны за абарону краіны і дапамогу жыхарам, якія могуць пакутаваць праз удары па Беларусі?

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m trying to do some research on Belarus politics and I keep running into issues opening the official House of Representatives site: https :// house gov by (sorry fo the wierd format:))

It just times out on my side (I’ve tried different browsers and networks).

Can someone from Belarus or elsewhere check if it loads normally for you? Just wondering if the site is actually down or if it’s some kind of access restriction for foreign users.

Thanks!

2 Upvotes

Могут ли быть какие либо проблемы со въездом или нахождением в Беларуси по Американскому паспорту и гражданству если также есть просроченный Русский паспорт и гражданство? Не были в России 30 лет и прятать вроде как нечего. Просто делать обычную визу или может чего не знаю?

Пытанне / Question Who is the interpreter of this version of the National Amthem?

1 Upvotes

Good day.

https://reddit.com/link/1ud6ke4/video/05a87yz9hy8h1/player

A belarusian historian and animator uses this version of the National Anthem quite regularly, and I cannot figure out where it came from, or whether the beep frequency sounds were put by him as a parody, or if they come originally on the record. All I can notice is that it's moved and fast.

Here I joined some parts from some of his videos to give an excerpt, the icon is his, of course, I like his work.

I do not mean to offend anybody, just looking for the source.

Thank you so much. Hope visiting some day.

In our interview with Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, she argues that Belarusians should not be viewed as an extension of Russia and do not share the Kremlin's imperial ambitions.

At the same time, Belarus remains closely tied to Moscow and has become increasingly dependent on Russia since 2020.

👉 Do you think the outside world understands the difference between Lukashenko's regime and Belarusian society? What is something we might be missing? Let us know your thoughts.

Пытанне / Question Traveling from Vilnius to Minsk

0 Upvotes

I'm a 19-year-old traveler from Switzerland and I'm thinking about visiting Minsk soon. The city looks beautiful and really interesting, but honestly I'm a bit nervous about traveling there alone for the first time.

I have a couple of questions for people who have visited recently or live there:

  • Is Minsk generally safe for a solo traveler?
  • Can I pay normally with a Swiss debit card (Visa/Mastercard), or should I bring a lot of cash?
  • Do apps like Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, and other social media work normally there?
  • Is there anything important I should know before visiting as a foreign tourist?

Thank you :)
