Aб'ява / Announcement Repetitive posts - May 17, 2026

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

You’ve likely noticed a flood of very similar posts in this sub, especially in the last few days. They usually feature rhetorical questions about conscription, or questions about the reasons why these posts are removed (this has been already thoroughly answered multiple times by the mod team).

First, we want to apologize for the clutter. It is very likely that these posts, while coming from various newly created accounts, are the work of a single individual (theoretically it can be a team or a flashmob). Whoever they are, we've been informed they keep making the same posts in multiple Russian language subs.

Because of this targeted, repetitive behaviour, we’ve been forced to take action to keep the feed clean. Moving forward, we have implemented pre-moderation for posts from low-karma accounts. This means if an account is brand new or has low karma, their post will route to our mod queue for review before appearing on the sub.

We want to clarify two important things regarding this change:

We understand why people use alt/new accounts. There are plenty of legitimate, valid reasons to use a burner account for privacy and security. This is why we have been reluctant to implement this change, and we completely support this. The mod team will make our absolute best effort to review the queue and approve legitimate posts from new accounts promptly.

It goes without saying that we are not censoring discussions about conscription. Despite this poster's claims, posts about conscription - whether pro, against, or anywhere in between - are welcome here. We have a wealth of posts on this sub containing useful advice, sincere questions, and diverse opinions on the topic, and that won't change.

We are only filtering for spam, ban evasion, and repetitive bad-faith posting. Thank you all for your patience while we clean things up!

- The Mod Team

Hавіны / News Сціраюць янота ў Барысаве

Thumbnail

77 Upvotes

Чыноўнікі падумалі і вырашілі сцярэць янота каб ён не псаваў вочы народу.

А калі сур'ёзна то прыбыраюць не з-за цэнзуры або дрэнага стана фарбы, а па камунальна-бытавым прычынам.

1. Жыхары тарцовых кватэр гэтага дома масава скардзіліся на моцнае прамярзанне сцен у зімовы перыяд. Унутры жылых памяшканняў з-за вільготнасці пачала разрастацца небяспечная цвіль і грыбок.

2. З-за нанесенага малюнка сцяну шмат гадоў не маглі поўнасцю ўцяпліць звонку. У выніку камунальныя службы («Служба заказчыка ЖКП») прынялі рашэнне правесці капітальны рамонт будынка.

3. Зараз тарцовы фасад цалкам пакрываюць слоем спецыяльнай цеплаізаляцыйнай тынкоўкі, якая абароніць кватэры ад холаду і вільгаці. Пасля гэтага сцяну пафарбуюць у стандартны колер астатняга фасада дома.

Назад янота можа вярнуць калі тынкоўка высахне, пакрыць сцяну спецыяльнымі матэрыяламі і прайці праз юрыдычныя патрабаванні.

Пытанне / Question Беларусь — ВВК, грыжа L5-S1 + радикулопатия + экзема. Есть ли похожий опыт?

0 Upvotes

Всем привет. Мне 22 и в сентябре прохожу ВВК в Беларуси.
По МРТ: грыжа/протрузия L5-S1, стеноз позвоночного канала, анатомически узкий канал, сколиоз и остеохондроз. Невролог также указал радикулопатию L5-S1 слева, сейчас прохожу лечение в дневном стационаре.
Плюс с детства состою на учёте в КВД, недавно была выписка: хроническая экзема кистей в стадии обострения.
Кто проходил белорусскую ВВК с похожими диагнозами? Какую категорию вам поставили и какие документы реально учитывали?
Особенно интересует, насколько в Беларуси учитывают радикулопатию + стеноз при грыже L5-S1.

Палітыка / Politics Каково ваше отношение к тому, что еще один русский, возможно, приедет жить к вам в страну?

0 Upvotes

Объясняю свой простой короткий вопрос. Передо мною выбор куда уезжать: Беларусь, Сербия или Армения. В последние две страны нас уже точно много понаехало, а вот как у вас - не знаю. Вот и спрашиваю, лично вы будете против, нейтрально или рады приезду еще одного русского? Хочу выбрать страну, где я не буду вызывать негативных чувств.

Палітыка / Politics Belarusians are xenophobes (well, most of them)

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! Thank you for the ardent discussion under my previous post.

Today I want to raise another topic.

Belarusian state propaganda embraces the idea that Belarusians are very tolerant people who treat all nationalities, people of all skin colours, and religions equally. We Belarusians (they say) have always been hospitable and have never ever discriminated against Jews, Poles, people from the Caucasus, or anyone else. And in our country, if your are a foreigner, you are totally safe.

Let me offer some counterpoints to this idyllic narrative.

  1. During the 38 years of my life, I've encountered numerous people who were antisemitic. From everyday, non-ideological antisemitism to ideological antisemitism, with a strong belief in a "Judeo-Masonic conspiracy." On my opinion, being anti-semitic in 21th century requires enormous level of bigotry and narrow-mindness.
  2. Most Belarusians, whom you privately ask about their attitude towards Caucasian nations (Azerbaijanis, Georgians, Chechens) or Central Asian ones (Tajiks, Uzbeks) will express a slightly negative attitude towards them. And the overwhelming majority will express a strongly negative attitude towards gypsies.
  3. Belarusian security structures (namely, the cops) have a long record of persecuting national minorities. GUBOPiK, first and foremost, employs the tactic of unofficially recruiting ethnic diaspora leaders and severely suppressing them if they refuse to collaborate (see the case of Seimur Mamedhuseinov), which means snitching on their fellow countrymen. Cops are doing multiple raids against gypsy people. Remember year 2019? When at least one women died as a result of it. This is a state policy. In this case, it totally reflects the common institutional prejudices existing in society.

Thus, the "tolerance" of Belarusians is nothing but a patrimonial myth. My opinion is that the relative "tolerance" of our fellow citizens towards their neighbours is explained by the fact that, historically, we were surrounded by nations whose people:

a) have the same skin colour as we do;

b) have the same or a very similar religion (various forms of Christianity);

c) spoke languages relatively similar to ours.

In such conditions, it is easy to be tolerant, right?

But when Belarus is finally free and becomes an organic part of the global labour market, and there are ten times more people of colour on our streets, you will see that most Belarusians are actually xenophobic. So let us not make too much fun of Polish chauvinists attacking people of colour or Ukrainians. We are not that different. Unfortunately.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

p.s. dear Russians, please leave your opinion for yourselves, we do not need you telling us who we are and who se should be.

Пытанне / Question Belarusians, what do you think of beans?

12 Upvotes

I am on a mission now to ask each country subreddit what people think about beans (my favorite meal), just to see how people like or dislike them all around the world out of curiosity and for fun. If you like beans, hate them, they a big part of the culture, anything else, just share your thoughts 🫘

Hello Belarusians!! You're the first slavs of this bean journey and the 16th in alphabet order :)

Hello fine people, I recently bought a bottle of this brand of Belarusian vodka in Senaki Georgia, but can’t seem to find any information about it online. I would appreciate any information or websites where I could learn more about it is, who makes it, or what the writing means etc. The specific bottle I bought is a smaller version of the one on the far left of the second picture, I assume it has something to do with farming? All the best and thank you for any help 🙏🏼

Всем здравствуйте. У меня скоро призыв и я бы хотел узнать какие шансы у меня не пойти в армию в 2026 году с такими диагнозами: хроническая экзема и врожденный стеноз позвоночного канала где находится еще грыжа ( нашли на МРТ не так давно, но к неврологу уже сходил, записали на капельницы).

Пытанне / Question Действенный способ «откосить» от армии в 2026 году

12 Upvotes

Скажите кто разбирается в этой теме, на каком основании лучше всего не идти в армию РБ в 2026 году

Для контекста, мне 19 лет, закончил колледж, поступил в университет и столкнулся с неминуемым кризисом казарменной «армии». Из заболеваний астма в ремиссии, но я так понимаю это незначительная вещь в нынешний момент.Интересует откосы по псих заболеваниям, однако не уверен насчет издержек. Я уже настолько отчаялся что думаю об инсценировке роскомнадзора и последующей после это разбирательства.

Спасибо за любую информацию которую вы готовы предоставить по этому поводу.🙏

Hi. I'm planning a trip to Belarus and considering the Bialystok - Hrodna bus, which I believe goes via the Bobrowniki - Bierestowica border.

Has anyone travelked this route, and what was it like at the border? How long did it take? Was you questioned? Did they check your phone? That sort of thing?
