In particular, the Belarusian leader emphasised ‘we don’t want any new revolutions'.
“But there are people who have a positive attitude towards this holiday. Well, let them have their holiday. We will remember that there was such a holiday. We must not forget what happened. We must not wound people who are now retired, who are leaving this world. They should rest and know that we are worthy successors to their work. That’s a nice holiday. We have made it modern. What's wrong if he [Aleksandr Botvinnik, the Minsk Motor Plant Director General] made a good engine for this holiday using his [Sergey Sumatokhin, Head of the engine works in Zhitkovichi] components? There’s nothing wrong with that. What's wrong with us making a little hurry to open it [the renovated bridge over the Pripyat River in Mozyr, opened on November 6th]. If we hadn't gone there yesterday, Ivan Ivanovich [Ivan Krupko, the Gomel Regional Executive Committee Chairman] would have been tinkering with it until spring, developing and landscaping. But we spurred him on, and he got it done — and it's the same all over the country,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stated.
