DISINFO: In Belarus citizens are not demonstrating against election falsification, rather professionals try to destabilise Lukashenko
SUMMARY
There are some surprising things. For example, the Belarusian police arrested a man who behaved very violently and injured some police officers and who was found with $10,000 on him which he was distributing to demonstrators. But the question is, how many of them are really fed up with Lukashenko and how many of them are there because of a Maidan scenario?
RESPONSE
Classical disinformation narrative that opponents or demonstrators on former USSR territories are paid during colour revolutions organised by globalist forces to destabilise the legitimate authorities. The site Komsomolskaya Pravda published a video of the man stating that the money was his own and he was not intending to distribute it or engage in politics. Open Media quoted by the Insider adds that the arrested man, Mikhail Simakov, is an individual entrepreneur engaged in the sale of used cars. On that day, he sold an Opel Zafira, returned home with the money, but he was detained at the entrance. Simakov's family stated that he has nothing to do with the protests and he did not hand money out to protestors as accused. Pro-Kremlin media have also made similar claims about protestors being paid to take part in the Euromaidan protests in 2014 in Kiev.
