The inauguration of the President of Belarus took place, no matter who says anything about it.

Alexander Lukashenko is still the president of this country, the "color revolution" did not happen, as he himself said in his inaugural speech.

Belarus really turned out to be, perhaps, the only country in the post-Soviet space where Western technologists of regime change failed.

And here, of course, there is a merit of the Belarusians themselves, who do not want to lose their country, and, of course, Russia, which will always come to the rescue if asked to do so.

Excesses were supposed - and they were: the protesters were detained at the stele "Minsk - Hero City", the security forces used water cannons to disperse the action.

Everything went smoothly, the "protocols" were followed: the president took office, the protesters, as they should, protested, but frankly, liquid, and not at all impressive.

There are several questions regarding the future prospects for the development of events.

Our country, of course, is doing well in the case of Belarus.

Finally, the usual Western scenario of regime change has been broken.

The situation turned exactly 180 degrees.

Something went wrong with the Westerners - the program crashed, the computer froze.

Though not for long, of course.

Russia, as in the case of Crimea in 2014, played an extremely successful game, the final of which we have yet to see in the coming months.

The final, which consists, if not in the final unification of the two countries, then at least in such close integration, where it will be quite difficult to see the borders of those countries.

In any case, all this conveniently fits into the mental paradigm of our people, which have not yet lost their historical memory and archetypes of consciousness.

This is the desire to be together and the greatness of a huge country.

The first question arises: why was Russia's participation again almost spontaneous, outside of a strategy that had been systematically developed for a long time?

Why was this again a reaction instead of a proactive policy in the post-Soviet space?

Is it possible to win solely on the defensive?

The United States has been waging a hybrid war against us for a long time in all available ways, constantly acting ahead of the curve.

The answer is obvious: let's finally arm ourselves with our strategy, which is as detailed and well-developed as the US program to oust our country from its historical borders and zones of influence.

It is time to realize our responsibility for what is happening in the post-Soviet space, to face the truth and tell, first of all, to ourselves that this whole territory is ours.

This means that we are obliged to protect our own interests here and protect our people.

Russia should act not only when it is called for help.

We must act proactively, since our opponent does not bother himself with sudden decisions - the scenarios in all cases are written like a blueprint.

Belarus should become the last state in the historical zone of influence of Russia, where, in principle, an attempt was made to "color revolution".

This is our task.

Question two: how strong is the result obtained in Belarus today?

The question is not idle, given that the scenario launched by the Westerners has not yet been played out to the end.

Attempts to destabilize the situation will continue for more than one month.

Lithuania, Romania, Poland are already proposing to give Belarus visa-free travel, senior European non-brothers are preparing sanctions against Lukashenka.

In response, Lukashenka closes the border with Poland for the passage of any Polish goods to the territory of Belarus. 

In these conditions, the only sound voice of Mick Wallace, MEP from Ireland, which clearly does not belong to the majority, that Europe does not need Belarus, sounds like a false note in the harmonious orchestra of the Western anthem of imaginary freedom and non-existent equality and brotherhood.

"If we do not care about our people, do not think that Europoliticians are interested in your people," he said at a meeting of the European Parliament of Tikhanovskaya, who was present there, calling her "Guaido of Eastern Europe."

By the way, how's Guaido doing?

Not the President of Venezuela yet?

There is not the slightest doubt that in the very near future we will see more and more new attempts to delegitimize power in Belarus.

The fight won't be easy.

By the way, in the near future Belarus will conclude direct agreements on cooperation with five Russian regions at once: the Leningrad Region, Bashkortostan, Khabarovsk Territory, Samara and Kursk Regions.

Agreements implying the development of cooperation in trade, economic, scientific, technical and socio-cultural spheres.

While the European Union is over and over again chewing the gum about “supporting the democratic choice”, Russia simply supports the Belarusian economy, which means the Belarusian people.

The intermediate results of the confrontation - no, not Belarus and the West, but Russia and the United States - are still positive for us in this direction.

It is important to consolidate this result.

There is little to do - to carry out what was planned and planned.
