The soviets had no sense of fashion at all smh...

On a serious note, you'd think Belarus nowadays would be less keen on supporting Russia given their history.

You ask for an independent opinion from a country that mass protested the last bullshit elections before potato dictator with a joint support from russian siloviki beat, tortured, imprisoned and\or dissappeared thousands of people. Luka is behind the wheel, and he is playing his own game balancing between a neutral sovereign country and a region of russia, whatever fits him best at the moment. He's not asking what his* people want.

* 'His' is a weird word to put there, but I'd let it stay.
