Blocked in Belarus by the decision of the Ministry of Information, the opposition site belaruspartisan.org resumed its work by registering in the domain zone.by.
"Belarusian partisan" is back. With an open visor,” reads an editorial titled “Strength is not in strength, strength is in truth.”
“Of course, we could change the name a bit, we could use a different, but very similar domain name. But we don’t want to play the stupid game of “run away and catch up” that the authorities offer, when they block independent information resources without explanation and without any warning, the article emphasizes. - They are blocked exactly after it was announced from the official stands that from now on Belarus is open to the world, investors and especially new information technologies. It is blocked exactly after they began to tell us about the intention to move towards freedom and respect for the opinions of others. Blocked exactly the day after independent experts announced the need to fight Russian propaganda. And the “Belarusian partisan” has been waging such a struggle for a long time.”
“This is how saboteurs, enemies of the Belarusian state act, vilely, surreptitiously, anonymously, and then loudly tell how they care about this state. But partisans in Belarus were, are and will always be, when a government appears in this country that acts contrary to the interests of the people. Therefore, no one should relax,” the authors of the article warn.
The specific reasons for blocking the site www.belaruspartisan.org are unknown.
“No one named any specific articles, materials, illustrations of the “Belarusian Partisan” in which the very “forbidden information” was disclosed. “The owner of this domain name is Pavel Sheremet (he died on July 20, 2016 in Kyiv as a result of a terrorist attack. - BelaPAN) cannot come to the Ministry of Information and demand an explanation, reminding officials of his favorite phrase-slogan: "Strength is not in strength, strength is in truth!" As it turns out, the Ministry of Information is not obliged to warn and explain something to “non-Belarusian” sites. It did not even consider it necessary to explain why it could not decide to block information resources. (meaning the sites "Regnum", "Lenta.ru", EADaily. - BelaPAN), whose authors will soon be tried on charges of extremism, but decided to eliminate the pro-Belarusian “Belarusian partisan” from the information field. But now it will be obliged!!!” - emphasized in the material.
The editors note that “even during the period of complete blocking” “every minute (!!!) there were about 300 people on the site !!!” and she "was very tempted not to change anything, because many completely open state information resources only dream of such a number of visitors."
Internet users reported about the site "Belarusian Partisan" on the evening of December 14. The next Ministry of Information said that “as part of monitoring compliance with the legislation on the mass media, the Ministry of Information of the Republic of Belarus, on the basis of subparagraph 1.2 of paragraph 1 of Article 51-1 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus “On the Mass Media”, decided to restrict access to the information resource belaruspartisan. org".
As a result of monitoring this resource, "systematic violation of the legislation on mass media" was revealed. “On the specified information resource, located outside the national segment of the Internet, materials containing prohibited information are regularly posted,” the Ministry of Information said.
“We don’t know anything, because we didn’t receive any official claims, there were no official warnings - they didn’t send us anything,” - BelaPAN on the same day, the current head of the project "Belarusian Partisan" Svetlana Kalinkina.
The Belarusian Association of Journalists stated that blocking the site is a violation of the principles of freedom of speech.
The first treaty after the collapse of the USSR
25 years ago, in 1992, Minsk and Moscow signed the first agreement on friendship, good neighborliness and cooperation after the collapse of the USSR. Since then, there have been hundreds of official documents on deepening integration. The Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation are members of various associations, including with other countries of the post-Soviet space - the Union State of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation, the CIS, the EAEU, the CSTO.
"Russia is sacred"
"Russia is sacred for us," Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko repeatedly assured. In December 1999, he signed an agreement on the Union State of Belarus and Russia with the then President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin. Lukashenka was eager to form an alliance with Moscow, hoping to become the head of this association. But with the coming to power of Vladimir Putin, Lukashenka's hopes collapsed.

Union without an anthem
The Union State of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation has a common parliament, cabinet of ministers, the State Council and even the media. But there is no flag, coat of arms and anthem, and leadership is carried out on the basis of rotation. This union is not recognized as a subject of international law. In addition, Minsk and Moscow understand the meaning of integration differently. The Kremlin is counting on the political binding of an ally. Belarus, on the other hand, is seeking domestic Russian prices for gas and oil.

Social package in action
Citizens of Belarus and Russia received real benefits from the Union State. In 2006, a package of international treaties was signed that confirmed the equal rights of Belarusians and Russians to freedom of movement and work, as well as in the field of healthcare and education.

Trade as an engine of integration
Russia is the main trading partner of Belarus, for many years it has accounted for about 50% of exports and imports. The share of Belarus in the foreign trade turnover of the Russian Federation in 2016 amounted to 5%. The main articles of Belarusian deliveries to Russia are agricultural products, trucks, truck tractors and agricultural machinery. From the Russian Federation to Belarus are mainly oil, gas and ferrous metals.

Minsk calculates profits, while Moscow counts losses
The sale of oil products from Russian raw materials to the West makes a significant foreign exchange contribution to the budget of Belarus. For the export of these products from the territory of the Union State, Minsk pays duties to the Russian Federation. And Moscow is counting the losses - the Russian budget in 2011-2015 alone lost $22.3 billion because of the agreement to supply duty-free to allied Belarus from 18 to 23 million tons of oil annually.

Life on loan from Russia
Most of the external debt of Belarus falls on Russia and the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development, which also oversees the Russian Federation. In 2017, Minsk will return more than $1.2 billion to Russian creditors, and in 2018 it must transfer $1.5 billion - almost 80% of all debt costs. According to Forbes, over the past 10 years, Belarus has also received $60 billion in subsidies and discounts from Russia.

Oil and gas wars
The history of the integration of Belarus and Russia was accompanied by oil and gas wars. Serious contradictions among the allies arose in 2006, 2010 and 2016. Minsk, in response to the rise in the price of Russian energy resources, threatened to cut off gas to Europe, introduced transit duties, and itself refused to pay. Moscow promised to cut oil supplies. The allies came to compromises, but conflicts appeared on other grounds.

Food scandals
The Treaty on the Eurasian Union, in which Belarus and Russia participate together with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, from the beginning of January 1, 2015, declared the freedom of the market and the movement of goods. In fact, food scandals between Minsk and Moscow do not stop. Rosselkhoznadzor has repeatedly accused the Belarusian side of re-gluing labels and re-exporting sanctioned products from the EU and Ukraine.

On the border of allied friendship
Although Lukashenka and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin solemnly dug out a border pillar on the land border between Belarus and Russia back in 1995, in February 2017 the FSB demanded that the border zone and border control be restored. This is the reaction of the Russian Federation to the "visa-free" for foreigners introduced by Minsk. In the spring of 2018, Russian border posts will also be returned to the boundary. Russia introduced customs control there back in 2007.

Atomic loan
State Corporation "Rosatom" is building a nuclear power plant in the Belarusian Astravets. Official Minsk claims that the nuclear power plant will reduce dependence on Russian gas. But opponents of the construction predict an even more dependent position of Belarus on Russia. We will have to return the $10 billion Russian loan allocated for the construction site and pay the Russian Federation for the purchase of nuclear fuel and then for its processing.

Military cooperation
After the collapse of the USSR, strategic military facilities remained in Belarus, subordinated to Russia on the basis of intergovernmental agreements. These are the communications center of the Navy in the Minsk region and the radio engineering center in the Brest region. Both objects are not endowed with the status of military bases, there are no lethal weapons. But experts point out that during the hostilities, these units will be subjected to the first blow.

"Slavianski Bazaar" in Belarus
The festival "Slavianski Bazaar" in Vitebsk was started in 1992 as a festival of arts, uniting Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. In 2001, Presidents Alexander Lukashenko, Vladimir Putin and Leonid Kuchma gathered here. The 26th International Festival in 2017 was attended by 4,000 participants from many countries. At the opening ceremony, Lukashenka likes to act as a welcoming host.
The Ministry of Information of Belarus has restricted access to the Belarusian Partizan website. This was done on the basis of subparagraph 1.2 of paragraph 1 of Article 51 of the Law "On Mass Media". According to authorities, the resource systematically violated media laws by publishing articles containing "forbidden information." At the moment, some politicians and journalists have turned to the Ministry of Information with a request to reconsider the decision to block.
When I first heard about the decision of the Ministry of Information, I experienced ambivalent feelings. On the one hand, I always oppose political censorship and the banning of alternative media. A person must receive information from different sources in order to be able to compare the arguments of the parties and form their own opinion. This is the basic principle of democracy and pluralism.
On the other hand, I understand perfectly well that the Belarusian nationalist media, which call themselves “independent”, act in exactly the same way as the official Belarusian authorities when it comes to political opponents of nationalist ideas. I have repeatedly seen how "Charter 97", "Nasha Niva" or "Belarusian Partisan" organize unbridled campaigns of persecution of people of Russophile views. Sometimes they quite deliberately post links to their social media profiles, which is a direct invasion of privacy. In a word, these “journalists” perceive freedom of speech only in relation to themselves and their like-minded people.
Quite funny was the predictable reaction of a similar, but even more yellow resource "Charter 97". Natalya Radina called the decision of the Ministry of Information "another step towards the destruction of freedom of speech." She also suggested that from now on “not a single investor will invest a penny in the Belarusian “digital” Gulag.”
Radina's words reminded me of the situation with the ban on the social network VKontakte in Ukraine. At that moment, the "Charter" enthusiastically welcomed the decision of the Kyiv authorities. It turns out that the Gulag can be selective. And if the restriction of freedom of speech concerns Russian sites, then nothing terrible happens. On the contrary, it is a fight against "Russian propaganda".
I will not hide the serious blocking of the "Charter 97" I would be delighted quite sincerely. If the "Belarusian Partizan" still sometimes allows itself to print alternative information, then the resource of Radina has long become an information dump where Russophobic materials are dumped. I think that this would significantly affect the mental state of the readers of the Charter.
It would be interesting to know thanks to what materials "Belpartizan" fell into disgrace. As you know, recently the green light has been turned on for nationalists in Belarus almost everywhere. The only condition they are given is not to touch President Lukashenko and his entourage. Did Partizan inadvertently violate this agreement, putting the Belarusian authorities in a bad light? We can only guess about this, since the Ministry of Information has not reported anything definite.
I would not advise rejoicing at those who, behind the blocking of Partizan, saw another round of the fight against nationalism. In my opinion, there are no grounds for optimism lately. Moreover, we have much more serious repressions against Russophile journalists. This suggests that the authorities follow the principle of "divide and rule", sometimes using the old Russophile rhetoric. It is clear that at the same time she is simply lobbying her interests.
Of course, I do not particularly believe that thanks to the appeals of the nationalist public, the authorities will reverse their decision. It is clear that for the Belarusian officials, who are the dumb cogs of the system, any sign from Olympus will be enough to turn on the reverse gear. It is difficult for me to say whether the parties will make concessions to each other. That such "agreements" have a place to be, I'm sure.
Unfortunately, freedom of speech in Belarus is more of a myth, which is confirmed by both the authorities and the opposition. In order to speak the truth, one must be truly "independent." Belarusian state journalists who receive a salary, as well as nationalist media living on handouts from Western funds, cannot be such by definition. Therefore, from both sides, we hear only primitive propaganda. Will the situation change in the foreseeable future? In my opinion, the conditions for this will not be created for many years to come...

The "Black Cat" was led by a professional intelligence officer of Slavic origin, officer of the landing battalion Dahlwitz Mikhail Vitushko. Groupings of "Kota" were divided on a territorial basis - its units operated in the south, in the center and in the north of the republic, the headquarters of the parent organization was located in the Warsaw region. The total number of the "Black Cat" by the summer of 1944 reached 3 thousand people, subsequently, newly arrived saboteurs, whom the Nazis trained in East Prussia, were enrolled in the detachments. The collaborators had radio stations, weapons, forged documents, medicines and money.
The command of the "Black Cat" decided not to arrange large-scale sabotage, believing that this could negatively affect the civilian population of Belarus, provoke mass dissatisfaction with the partisans. And such unrest, in the first place, would be disadvantageous to the collaborators themselves.
As Belarusian emigrant publications once wrote, one of the main activities of the Black Cat was attacks on MGB prisons where political prisoners were kept. For example, in March 1948, Belarusian collaborators, together with detachments of the UPA (an organization banned in the Russian Federation), stormed the city of Novogrudok in the Grodno region, then attacked the Kobrin barracks (Brest region), freeing several hundred prisoners.
In addition, the "Black Cat" was engaged in sabotage on the railway, carried out sorties to destroy soldiers and officers of the Soviet Ministry of State Security and party activists.
