It is she who angers the impostors and self-appointed.
Former political prisoner, coordinator of the civil campaign "European Belarus" Andrei Voynich in "Facebook" shared his impressions from reading the book of the famous American historian Yuri Felshtinsky "A Journalist Against a Dictator: Natallia Radzina and her Belarus":
- After reading the book, I saw in her a small, fragile woman with nerves of steel and the same character. This woman purposefully traveled the path to her dream ideologically, one could say, having fallen into the safe hands of good teachers, learned to forge herself and forged herself. However, she is a person who does not stop at anything, so she continues to work on herself and the idea of free Belarus. It's unlikely that something or someone can stop her.
When I read what Radzina has gone through, I remembered what I had gone through during five years of captivity, remembered all the atrocities committed by bastards against innocent people not only in 2020, but long before those events - since 1994. Belarusians try to forget or ignore all this, but it is and was, and this shit sooner or later touches everyone.
The book is not about Radzina, not about her heroism, but about Belarus. About how it came to be that the people have a pseudo-volution, and silence and reticence with the substitution of concepts became the norm. And this book is also about struggle. Not about Radzina's struggle with the regime, but about the struggle with the dictator for the freedom of every Belarusian, about how unnoticeable for the average person teamwork can change the situation while someone is shouting about "his" feats and achievements in every corner.
When reading it, I was covered by waves of memories and anger and rage accumulated over the years. I realized that it is impossible to give up, it is necessary to solve the issue to the end, otherwise this lawlessness will not stop, and will only grow.
Radzina is a leader. She speaks the inconvenient truth, and impostors are angry. And there are a lot of impostors and self-appointed people now, especially those who came in on the wave of 2020. People forget that it was a liar, a talker and a flatterer that they once elected and are now howling, reaping the benefits. Unfortunately, history is repeating itself. But I believe that there are more honest and normal people, and the truth will always find its way.
