I have no idea how it is to live in Belarus, but if they are anything like Poland, really doesn't matter what they do, things will change only according to climate of surrounding powers. I always saw all those strikes in Poland in the 90' so unnecessary. All that changed is some heads and labels, otherwise you could draw straight line between before and after. People just got robbed once again in the process. When time for change will come, it will just happen. Lukashenko is not just a single guy, you would have to cut all the ties, and in the process probably loosing some allies, and anyway what will emerge in effect is a new class of elites that would start to run the business as best the know - from their own experience. Lukashenko gave you a good advise. Calm down. A massive non cooperation movement. You cannot compete in the market of violence.
