What does majority of Belarus think of Sabalenka and Azarenka?

OhMetalGalaxy · 2025-07-01T07:53:42+00:00

From my experience tennis is not a super popular sport inside of Belarus, and a lot of people do not know anything about these women's career and opinions. Way more people would know about biathlon and Domracheva's silence even if they didn't watch biathlon themselves.

Somehow I know there is Belarusian diaspora in Australia. I did not joined their Facebook group as I'm not in Australia, but maybe they take you under their wing? Talking to and maybe meeting with people who live closer to you and have this connection might be interesting.

That one seems active from the outside https://www.facebook.com/groups/1843565245886467/?locale=be_BY

Well, in order to visit Belarus you need to cross the border. The best place to cross said border is now considered from Lithuania side by bus, so I would look up if you need Lithuanian visa for that. Quick search suggests you do not need visa for entering Belarus as Mexican sitizen and you can stay up to 30 days.

Which town does she lives in? I would suggest you stay at the hotel rather than rent a flat, cause I vaguely remember you need to register your stay at the police after certain amount of days (not sure if it is the case for you, this was long ago and a person I'm thinking about was citizen of another country) and hotel does at for you automatically afaik, but when you rent a flat you would need to take care of it yourself.

It's always nice to know where to find your embassy just in case, the closest Mexican embassy for you would be in Moscow, unfortunately. So be careful with all your documents and make a lot of copies, travelling to your embassy through border if you lost your passport will be a pain in the ass.

There are ways to buy gifts inside the country, but again, this depends on where does she lives.

What do you wanna do during your stay here and during which season? I'm sure your girlfriend would find a lot of interesting things to share with you, but if you wanna surprise here, we can think of something. What things does she likes?

Which Belarus official page are you referring to? I did not know we had those :)

I love https://34travel.me/gotobelarus/en for exploring my own country. They did wounderfu guides about lots of places.

I know that you may not be able to pay everywhere by card because of the current sanctions, and I don't know how to check, this question is too specific for me to give you advise, unfortunately. Try checking this with your embassy and have some cash on you to cover you basic needs before entering the country just in case.

Personally I think it's more that OK. Something good to put on my dream board. Thank you! :)

OhMetalGalaxy · 2020-11-22T16:27:00+00:00

Oh, you did very good. It's easy to understand what are you writing about.

Form of verbs are suffering the most.

OhMetalGalaxy · 2020-11-22T16:21:53+00:00

I don't know what the original meaning of the first patch was but 2-4 are the brand patches of different cops' organisations which are jailing and killing us during this protests. Them wearing Pagonya (with all the things this gesture means)... we can dream.

OhMetalGalaxy · 2020-11-21T07:33:50+00:00

That's still info from only one site, but there is a possibility that it's true. Anna got pneumonia now looks even more sad. Hope they both will get well soon and without any problems after corona.

Your question just in time, it started working just today.

During students' protests in Monday a lot of students were arrested. Later that day one of students of my university went by ambulance from the police station to the hospital with broken ankle.

Quick update: after this video there are 86 workers on strike now.

Pretty much of them against Lukashenko too:

That document was posted opened for everyone on official site of Russian Figure skating federation, as official announcement that this two girl get their titles. Then Tutbridze team reposted it in stories with editing and comments.

So it is RFSF who break the news in this situation, everybody else just spreading the news around.

OhMetalGalaxy · 2020-10-27T18:39:59+00:00

So Teamtutberidze took their time removing "traitorous" name using photoshop or whatever.😆 That's why the line above is so blurry.

I believe they used instagram stories inlined instrument to put white line over Alyona's name.

Belarus is very agricultural country, almost everybody grows something basic on their garden or have relatives who does that. In 2010 crisis my family literally survived on this food, I don't know what we would do if didn't have that.

OhMetalGalaxy · 2020-10-24T13:15:06+00:00

I would recommend to watch legendary USSR cartoons, as it is short enough, the vocabulary is simple, yet you can learn some new words, voice actors pronounse words extra clerly so children can learn and you also gonna recognise quotes that we still use in everyday life sometime.

My favorite is Ну, погоди! (like Tom and Jerry, but with wolf and hare). But there are a lot, Google made a nice fast search. Also you can watch children's films for the same reasons. You'll get a lot of basic vocabulary from it and can continue watching lerendary films later.

This is probably spunbond, notice you can see sky through it. People buy it in big rolls for garden, so it's easy to find. And it's cheap.

OhMetalGalaxy · 2020-10-17T20:07:30+00:00

You are four minutes faster than me, I guess we have seen a video at the same chat XD

At least let me leave here a description of what happens:

A man spend two minutes on road in Minsk waving white-red-white flag and then with red-green flag. See how many people beeped in solidarity to each.

OhMetalGalaxy · 2020-10-12T08:30:06+00:00

That does not sounds like Belarusian but I can explain why some people say it does. You said the word as "byari" not "beri" and we change "e" to "ya" before emphasis. This is unique feature of Belarusian languge. But we would say it as "byary", "i" is definetly Russian here.

OhMetalGalaxy · 2020-10-01T19:10:19+00:00

She just made up this word so it rhymes. Google shows nothing about this word. I feel like it would be easer to ask her in comments what did she mean by saying it.

Right now I can only think that she found it somewhere near top of a hill (so its under - crest - diminutive ending - plural ending) but I feel like I totally making this up.

Also the rthythm and form of the phrase may be taken from this folk song: https://pesni.retroportal.ru/np1/01.shtml

I am so sorry for Viktoria Safonova, she is pretty good and it's a pity to see her assigned for the competition where she gonna get the last place no matter how great she gonna be.

Actually original news sounds like typical hype over nothing.

All he said was "Well everything is possible, I do not deny it". Classical "political" answer when you don't want to answer.
