Hoping for Lukashenko's win because his ensuing weak, delegitimized presidency may pave the way for "a national project" in Belarus: Sergei Korotkih, Belarusian/Russian neo-Nazi-come-leader of Ukraine's far-right Azov movement speaks on Belarus election. Thread
In a Telegram video, Korotkih theorizes that under weakened Lukashenko within 1-2 years "nationally-oriented people" with a "national project" may be able to "fight for Belarus' future". Korotkih says that he's ready to support such people NOW. Source: t.me/c/1369674348/5…
Korotkih who has come to be seen as the financier of the far-right Azov movement in Ukraine describes Svetlana Tikhanovskaya as "a Kremlin project" whose win will spell the end to "any Belarusian national projects, dreams".
By contrast, Korotkih "dreams" that - apparently conditioned on the weakened Lukashenko presidency- Belarus may eventually become part of a union of Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Baltic states, parts of Russia, "White Europe without leftists [...] for Europeans".
Korotkih's description of "White Europe without leftists" where Belarus may eventually fit is an apparent reference to the Azov's geopol concepts of Intermarium and Reconquista. Korotkih has been a major driver of Azov's international ambitions. More: bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu…
"The events of today [in Belarus], tomorrow, the following year will, hopefully, give an opportunity to the national forces riding this wave to show themselves", Korotkih says of the election in Belarus.
Korotkih's vision of a weakened Belarus under delegitimized Lukashenko paving the way for a stronger nationalists' presence and Belarus' eventual role in a new "White Europe" is along the lines of the scenario of Ukraine's collapse he recently described
Korotkih is known for his role in attacks on Belarus opposition in 1999, ties to murderers there, praise for Lukashenko, etc. BUT remarkably Pavel Sheremet wrote in 2015 that he “cleared Sergei Korotkih of all his [Sheremet’s] suspicion, and accusations” pravda.com.ua/rus/columns/20…
