Matskevich to Prokopiev: Tikhanovsky is also an individual player, two solitudes met. Nothing will work out for both of you
"You will lose to anyone who has a team."

Philosopher and former political prisoner Uladzimir Matskevich harshly criticized the political prospects of restaurateur Vadim Prokopiev. He reacted to the hearings in the Coordination Council, when Prokopiev sparred with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

"You and Sviatlana are very different. Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is a team player and a master of individual duels. You, however, are an individualist. Perhaps your skill is higher, but that doesn't give you an advantage in team clashes.
Yes, you know how to interact with an anonymous public, where individual faces, characters, souls are not distinguished. That's why people cooperate with you only out of situational expediency. Not in long-term games.
Therefore, you will always lose to people like Sviatlana. Even if you are right. Even if you have a plan, a program, a strategy, and your opponent and competitor do not.
You will lose to anyone who has a team.
And what do you have? Siarhei Tsikhanouski. But he is also an individual player. Two solitudes met, you see.
Therefore, nothing will work out for you (for both of you).
Yes, you probably have a plan. I believe it, knowing your intellect and qualifications.
But this is a plan for you, a little for your partner, and for some who will support you out of situational pragmatism.
But this is not A-PLAN-FOR-US — for the diaspora, for the emigration, for all of Belarus — the nation and the state.
And now exactly this is needed. The degree of necessity is 'blood from the nose,' 'to the death,' and something of that sort," Matskevich believes.
