Travelling to India

Hey everyone,

I've been living in Belarus for about 4 years now and I'm planning a trip to India at the start of January. My problem is I'm finding it really hard to get vaccinated here in Belarus before travelling (specifically the Hep A and Typhoid vaccines). We tried loads of clinics and hospitals here but no luck.

Has anyone here had any similar experiences or know anyone who has? Any help or information would be great. Thanks!

What is your opinion on Georgian situation?

Hey all, if you aren't aware, Georgia recently had it's ellections rigged in favir of pro-russian party, since then, we've been having huge protests. Situation is very similar to what happened in Belarus during presidential elections.

Loads of people are feeling pessimistic about the situation, often stating that Belarus had the same response, only to end up with Lukashenko staying in power, therefore, our fate will be the same.

What do you think? What did you feel during your protests? What are some mistakes we should avoid?

I'd love to hear your input.

Lukashenko is ready to send troops to Syria to help Bashar al-Assad. Due to the war in Ukraine, Putin cannot maintain control over Syria, so he is pressuring Lukashenko to send his troops to support the terrorists from the Wagner Group.

Coming to Belarus

Hello, its my first time travelling outside an EU country, so I dont know much about this, so what do I need to have/do before going to belarus? I have my passport, and from what I've read the health insurance is also necessary, but do I have to buy Polish insurance(since im from Poland) or can I buy Belarusian one? Also can I buy it at the border? Chat gpt told me it would be cheaper.
Also, Im coming for a week so I dont need a visa, but do I also have to have some accomodation confirmation or something?
Is there also anything else I should have?

Thanks in advance;)

Also, forgot to mention, I wanna take my meds (3 different ones kind of anti-depressants), will I have any problem with that? If I take just 1 package of each?

Релокация в Беларусь

Привет реддиторы!

В последнее время задумался о переезде в Беларусь на пмж.

Сетап такой, что хочу работать на зарубежную компанию на удалёнке, а в Беларуси платить налоги и наслаждаться жизнью.

Но есть прикол в моём гражданстве Украины. Буду ли я как-то преследоваться на уровне закона, проходить какие-то фильтрации и тому подобное?

Спасибо славяне

Day to day life in Belarus?

I am from Croatia. When I search up photos of Minsk or Belarus in general what pops up is basically North Korea. I have relatives from Bosnia and Herzegovina and when I visit them it is a huge contrast to Croatia. Croatia has mainbrands while half of BiH is wearing Abibas or Mike and using Ipear or stuff like that. People work as truckdrivers, in restaurants or wife home husband abroad. The political situation is atrocious and totally disfuncional, so is Croatia but BiH is a hellhole. Is this comparable to Belarus? Whats like living there? What do yall do, eat, how do you have fun, work, education...?

Spending new years in Belarus

I’d like to experience New Year’s celebrations in Minsk, but I’m struggling to fully understand the visa-free policy for the 35 European countries. I plan to enter from Latvia 27 or 28 of December, but I’m confused—can I stay past December 31, 2024? Do I need a visa. I tried contacting the local embassy, but I’ve been waiting for a reply for over a month😂. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Interesting interview by the head of Lithuanian Secret Service

https://youtu.be/kuUJjmrveoU?si=ZyZQO0VfKLvODBxW

  1. Many Belarusian immigrants in Lithuania are approached by KGB when they visit Belarus.
  2. KGB is intersted to target Lithuanian infrastructure.
  3. Many belarusian residents in Lithuania are disloyal to the host country
  4. Litvinism is idealogy created and spread by Russian and Belarusian KGBs to sow Lithuanian hate towards Belarusian immigrants. Commented that it is largely unsuccessful as it failed to gain traction. New methods are created including attacks on Belarusian businesses in Lithuania (i.e. belarusian KGB attacks belarusians claiming it was by Lithuanians)
  5. Russian KGB aims to edit education programs in Belarus to discredit Lithuanian heritage in Belarus.
  6. Belarusians in Lithuania should be prevented from going back to Belarus to prevent KGB's sabotage.
  7. Politicians in Lithuania fail to understand the threat from Belarus. Stricter immigration controls are needed.

What do you guys think - do you agree?

Trying to identify an event that a Belarusian exile spoke about

So today I had a fun conversation while waiting in an occupation medicine doctor's office. This fairly young guy (25 I believe) and I struck up a conversation and eventually I found out he'd spent a year in prison in Belarus basically for political reasons. It was a fun chat but I had to go get my EKG taken and ultimately we have not met again and weren't able to continue the conversation.

What interests me is the event that apparently got him imprisoned. He said that his face was put on a dress and that got him moderately famous/infamous and eventually ended up with him jailed as a political prisoner. He also was quite embittered about the media kinda forgetting about him and his friends

When I was on my way home I tried to research the story and wasn't able to find anything (with a pretty lazy google). So can you guys enlighten me on the event/story in question?

Also if you happen to be reading this dude, sorry I never introduced myself! It was a fun chat and I haven't had many of those recently. Hope the remote work thing works out for you eventually
