Mukovozchik presented his new two-volume book
The SB. Belarus Segodnya columnist, Andrei Mukovozchik, presented his new books – Roots and Root Eaters – as part of the 29th Minsk International Book Fair held these days in the Belarusian capital
Andrei Mukovozchik’s novelty of 2021 – The Wet Pants Revolution – united his journalistic texts, though this year’s books are different.
“In the first volume, Roots, I tell my readers of how the western values have been attempted to be introduced into our society – thus replacing our national codes. Every nation has its own roots – something upon which this nation relies. And so, instead of them, a general concept was tried to be imposed on us: these are the western values which are not values at all in a universal sense. I would supplement these with human rights, freedom of speech, media, gatherings, and also democracy; the latter was supposed to work according to their rules, but for some reason on our territory. My book Roots analyses how it happened that so many non-governmental and non-profit organisations – which, actually, have funds and exist comfortably – emerged in Belarus. The question here is what money they use. If it is someone else's, then they are probably serving someone else's interests,” Mr. Mukovozchik commented.
The columnist added, “The second volume – Root Eaters – focuses on personalities. Over the years of its activity on the territory of Belarus, a network of non-profit organisations has generated a whole galaxy of people whom, in August 2020, we saw in our streets, Telegram channels and extremist media. I could have not written about these collaborators but I thought that time would pass and many would forget their filthy unsightly role in our Belarusian history. Meanwhile, we must remember of this. We should know in person those who tried to disorder the country. My second book is devoted to them.”
