Abbiamo incontrato per la prima volta Alexander Milinkievich due anni fa. All'epoca era candidato dell'opposizione alle elezioni presidenziali bielorusse, che hanno confermato al potere Alexander Lukashenko. Milinkievich continua oggi a illustrare ai bielorussi i vantaggi della democrazia, e allo stesso tempo cerca di convincere le autorità della necessità di avviare riforme politiche ed economiche, senza le quali secondo lui il paese rischia di perdere la sua indipendenza. |

Belarus celebrates the Victory Day. As always the main activities have been organized in the center of Minsk.
Olga Yushkevich: There are fewer veterans every year, those who defended freedom and independence of this country and overpowered fascism. There are ever more those who remember and honor their deeds. The President is next to veterans as always. And it is not a mere custom, but rather a sign of sincere respect and pride of the country. Most of the war participants are over 80 years old. Some of the war heroes proceeded to the plaza in a motorcade of 12 UAZ jeeps.
(Victor Slusar, retired general)
(Boris Khanin, retired lieutenant colonel)
(Ismail Akhejanov, head of the veterans council of Belarus)
Wreaths from all branches of power are laid to the monument.
(Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus)

Young singer from Belarus Alexey Zhigalkovich conquers music Europe. Belarusian representatives twice win the junior "Eurovision".
"With Friends" song performed by an 11 years old singer from Belarus became a real hit. Alexey was also supported by "All Starts" dancing band. The intrigue was preserved, however, due to the bookmakers the representative of Belarus was the leader. Alexey Zhigalkovich acknowledged that it was a fair play.
Svetlana Elfimova: The last performing number is lucky for Belarus - Ksenia Sitnick also won the contest performing under the last number. Nevertheless, this year the audience received the opportunity to vote right after the start or the contest. Starting the first notes it was vivid that Alexey Zhigalkovich was performing a hit.
(Olga Vronskaya, vocal pedagogue)
Serbia and Armenia were the most serious contestants. The leadership was taken by Armenia. Nevertheless, Portugal and Malta moved Belarus up to the second place before pre-last voting. Lithuania voted next to the last. Alexey Zhigalkovich was behind by 4 points by that time. Our northern neighbors gave us 12 points and Belarus controlled the situation ever since.
(Alexander Mezhenny, head of the dancing band)
Though Alexey believes in miracles of Harry Potter, he doesn't consider his victory a wonder. His parents received good music education. Alexey started singing at 5 years and even started composing at 9.
(Alexey Zhigalkovich, winner of junior "Eurovision-2007")
Alexey's mobile phone was filled with calls and messages; his mother called first. The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko called from Venezuela and congratulated the young singer. Friends and relatives supported Alexey Zhigalkovich during the moment of his victory. |

We first talked with Alexander Milinkevich two years ago.Them he was the candidate for the opposition standing for president in Belarus: an election in which Alexander Lukashenko was returned to power. Despite huge political pressure, Milinkevich has continued to extol the merits of democracy over dictatorship. He has tried to persuade the Belarus government to carry out economic and political reforms which he deems essential. Without these reforms, he says, Belarus risks losing its independence. |

Kalinovski square is an "underground" documentary about a suppressed people fighting for their freedom. The starting point of this documentary, takes place in Minsk - the capital of the former Soviet Republic of Belarus, which often is referred to as the last dictatorship in Europe! In March 2006 a rigged president election was arranged, so the "dictator", Alexander Lukaschenko, was re-elected with 82 % of the votes. Independent observers have estimated Lukashenko could merely win 40 % of the votes due to massive propaganda and oppression. Since Lukasheko's presidency started in 1994, he has turned Belarus into a more dictatorian country based on a Soviet style authoritarian leadership. In much of Belarus, the notion that the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 is not valid, the Soviet Union just diminished and gradually turned into present day Belarus - much of the Soviet system and mentality goes on in the country. Unlike Russia, the country didn't undergo any remarkable transition from plan economy to market reforms, thus avoiding to much chaos and instability in society, but the price has been an increasing lack of personal freedom and economic development. Thus the young generation got enough of corruption, plan economy, censorship, state harassment, lack of hope and arbitrary use of state intervention by the secret police, which still goes by their old name: the KGB! For the first time the people were brave enough to defy the regime on a large scale and show their resentment towards the president, led by the young generation in the so called "jeans revolution" for freedom.
This documentary is Yuri Chashchevatsky's most celebrated film and follows a long-standing and personally dangerous conflict with the Lukaschenko regime. A conflict, in which independent journalists and system critics have been jailed, killed or disappeared in mysterious ways, as the regime regards basic human rights, such as freedom of the speech, press and assembly etc., as Western hypocrisy. Thus Belarus is the only European country denied a membership to the Council of Europe, due to its massive repression - even Russia is a member!
The plot of the documentary tries to uncover the primitive and ugly mechanisms of a dictatorship, but also brings hope by letting the young generation of Belarus come to word. They dream of a future Belarus, where the government doesn't fear its own people nor the opposite situation, in which the people fear its own government.
The style of the documentary is much inspired by Michael More's funny and ironic distance, of criticizing the government, as seen in his famous documentary - Fahrenheit 9/11 -. However, at the same time, Kalinovski Square tries to give an explanation to the underlying reasons why Europe's last dictatorship withstands from within. The movie is a discovery to what many people in the West takes for granted, and what people in other countries must fight for to achieve - good governance based on the rule of law, freedom and democracy.
The movie gives an insight into one of the most isolated countries in Europe, in which a "cold civil war" is raging against the part of the population who urge for change. A country which evidently will appear more frequently on the news bulletin in the coming years, as the economic decline will increase and the people's desire for freedom will increase.
The documentary's finest quality assurance, comes from the committee of censorship in the Republic of Belarus, as they banned the documentary. Even to posses the documentary is a crime against the state, and is punishable in Belarus.
Language: Belarusian and Russian but with English subtitles.
Director & producer: Yuri Chashchevatsky
Another great documentary about Belarus, also available on Youtube, is 'A lesson of Belarusian'. It follows a group of young activist who with peaceful means, fight to end a corrupt and brutal dictatorship in their country. The documentary follows them in the time up to and during the rigged presidential re-election in 2006. The movie can be seen at the same profile or search for 'A lesson of Belarusian' at Youtube. |

A country which evidently will appear more frequently on the news bulletin in the coming years, as the economic decline will increase and the people's desire for freedom will increase.
The documentary's finest quality assurance, comes from the committee of censorship in the Republic of Belarus, as they banned the documentary. Even to posses the documentary is a crime against the state, and is punishable in Belarus.
Language: Belarusian and Russian but with English subtitles.
Director & producer: Yuri Chashchevatsky
Another great documentary about Belarus, also available on Youtube, is 'A lesson of Belarusian'. It follows a group of young activist who with peaceful means, fight to end a corrupt and brutal dictatorship in their country. The documentary follows them in the time up to and during the rigged presidential re-election in 2006. The movie can be seen at the same profile or search for 'A lesson of Belarusian' at Youtube. |

Kalinovski square is an "underground" documentary about a suppressed people fighting for their freedom. The starting point of this documentary, takes place in Minsk - the capital of the former Soviet Republic of Belarus, which often is referred to as the last dictatorship in Europe! In March 2006 a rigged president election was arranged, so the "dictator", Alexander Lukaschenko, was re-elected with 82 % of the votes. Independent observers have estimated Lukashenko could merely win 40 % of the votes due to massive propaganda and oppression. Since Lukasheko's presidency started in 1994, he has turned Belarus into a more dictatorian country based on a Soviet style authoritarian leadership. In much of Belarus, the notion that the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 is not valid, the Soviet Union just diminished and gradually turned into present day Belarus - much of the Soviet system and mentality goes on in the country. Unlike Russia, the country didn't undergo any remarkable transition from plan economy to market reforms, thus avoiding to much chaos and instability in society, but the price has been an increasing lack of personal freedom and economic development. Thus the young generation got enough of corruption, plan economy, censorship, state harassment, lack of hope and arbitrary use of state intervention by the secret police, which still goes by their old name: the KGB! For the first time the people were brave enough to defy the regime on a large scale and show their resentment towards the president, led by the young generation in the so called "jeans revolution" for freedom.
This documentary is Yuri Chashchevatsky's most celebrated film and follows a long-standing and personally dangerous conflict with the Lukaschenko regime. A conflict, in which independent journalists and system critics have been jailed, killed or disappeared in mysterious ways, as the regime regards basic human rights, such as freedom of the speech, press and assembly etc., as Western hypocrisy. Thus Belarus is the only European country denied a membership to the Council of Europe, due to its massive repression - even Russia is a member!
The plot of the documentary tries to uncover the primitive and ugly mechanisms of a dictatorship, but also brings hope by letting the young generation of Belarus come to word. They dream of a future Belarus, where the government doesn't fear its own people nor the opposite situation, in which the people fear its own government.
The style of the documentary is much inspired by Michael More's funny and ironic distance, of criticizing the government, as seen in his famous documentary - Fahrenheit 9/11 -. However, at the same time, Kalinovski Square tries to give an explanation to the underlying reasons why Europe's last dictatorship withstands from within.
