The Batka Stoops to Blackmail 02/08/2007 - 19:09 / Sergey Strokan With his characteristic candor and directness, President Lukashenko has suggested to his Russian colleague that they compare lists of grievances to see whose list is longer.

It isn't hard to guess that in the near future we will be witnessing some engrossing haggling, which for a galled Minsk will be an attempt to settle the score. Or at least the appearance of such an attempt, which will allow the "batka" to demonstrate his ability to land a punch. comments: 0
