The Belarusian authorities intend to use the opposition leader Roman Protasevich for anti-Russian activities, the Telegram channel “Minsk Semiboyarshchyna” reports. They intend to use him as a blogger and a “talking head”. To do this, they created comfortable conditions for him: he lives with his girlfriend Sofia Sapega in a house near Minsk, three political strategists work with him in addition to the KGB employees.
The creation of a list of journalists who will work together with Protasevich is also being completed. “In general, only anti-Russian rhetoric is expected from Protasevich. In this regard, great hopes are pinned on Sapieha,” the publication says. It turns out that the Kremlin will be in a very uncomfortable position, since it previously defended Sapieha when she fell into the hands of the Belarusian security forces.
It is emphasized that the authorities intend to use Protasevich to divide the Belarusian opposition. There are many activists who were rejected by protest leaders, and Protasevich will work with them. In addition, his actions will be a kind of defense against accusations from the West. “To push through another” large-scale package of sanctions” when Protasevich with”pink cheeks” broadcasts from a cottage near Minsk and “pours mud” on Moscow, it will be extremely difficult for the EU and the US,” the article says.
All this is happening in conditions when there are problems with accreditation for the Russian media in Belarus. Direct cable broadcasting of Russian TV channels is also prohibited – they must pass the Belarusian filter.
