Values, Slogans of 1917 October Revolution Still Present in Belarusian Policy, Lukashenka Says
The present policy of Belarus is based on many slogans and principles of the October Revolution, Aliaksandr Lukashenka told journalists on October 6.
“We celebrate the October Revolution day on November 7. I can accept all the ideas that the revolutionaries put forth before people. They had good ideas back then: land for peasants, factories for workers, order and recovery of the country and so on,” BelTA quotes Lukashenka as saying.
“There was not a single bad slogan. And with these slogans the revolution won.”
“The present policy of our country relies on many of these slogans,” he stressed. “When we celebrate the October Revolution day, we primarily treasure those ideas and slogans.”
Today, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan are the only two countries which celebrate the October Revolution Day. So, Lukashenka also criticised those post-Soviet state who cancelled this holiday.
“They didn’t have the guts in their own time. They faced a storm of criticism saying that the revolution brought grief and killed people. People were killed afterwards. We are talking about ideas. These negative processes involving the slaughter of people and the deviation from the ideas declared prior to the revolution were a wrong move. But they happened afterwards and we condemn it. But one shouldn’t condemn what happened in 1917 and scrap the good ideas that Lenin and his team went forward with”.
Lukashenka warned against jumping to conclusion when evaluating the past.
“Never hurry to evaluate what happened. It is all politically biased,” he said.
“Whatever past we may have it is ours. We cannot avoid it. For us to look decent in this past, it is necessary to see drawbacks, they cannot be hushed up but all the good things that happened should be highlighted. Because it is our past.”
