"as both are variations of the historical coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania". You are, of course, right there, but before that it was used in belarussian lands, such as Polotsk.

Dush Dushevsky was a Tatar and not a Belarusian, who stole the Lithuanian Tatar Golden Horde flag, and just removed the Muslim crescent and made it “Belarusian”. WE ARE ORTHODOX, NOT ISLAMICS!!!

The Russian Nazi-collaborators weren't using the modern Russian flag, they had their own flag of a blue saltire on white background (like a Scottish flag but inverted), which they used on their military patches with the acronym ROA ("Russian Liberation Army"). I think there was variants of the modern flag with the patch in the center on some propaganda posters however

@@niggalini The St. Andrew's Flag that you are describing was originally the imperial naval flag (and interestingly, it is also used by the Russian Navy today). It was indeed the main flag used by the so-called Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia and the patches of ROA were based on it. If you google "Flag of ROA" or better "Флаг РОА" you'll find a lot of these variants of the modern flag with the ROA patch in the center you've mentioned (not only on posters), but also some plain tricolor flags. What's more, the ROA wasn't the only Russian collaborationist formation. Some others, like the 1st Russian National Army (aka Sonderdivision Russland) under Boris Smyslovsky or Russian Protective Corps - a formation composed of Russian emigres in Serbia, had patches based on the Russian tricolor flag.

it’s actually more like “rushnik” with a stress on “i” :)

It's not the only his mistake. He called dekulakization a genocide. While genocide is the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group. But Kulak is a social-economic class. So he applied the word genocide wrongly.

@@cerebrummaximus3762 Curiously that your find combination of red and green nice. It might be our Belarusian trauma, however, I myself as many my friends and acquittance found this combination especially in the colour tones of the flag as disgusting and this is for many years even before 2020. The problem of the red-green flag is it always was and now it is even more anti-belarusian. Both BSSR (except short-lived period in1920-ies of some Belarusian Renaissance, whose moving forces (like writer, poets, architectures and so on) were repressed and many many of them were killed) and the Lukashenko's regime are against the whole idea of Belarus, its language and culture. If we dare to speak about collaborators, exactly BSSR and Lukashenko's regime are such of Russian imperialistic idea, they are both hated by themselves compromise they need to establish instead of full annexation by Russia how it was since The Commonwealth partition. So the mere idea to represent the Belarusian language/culture with the read-green flag is abomination in the eyes of belarusians who know and speak this language, create culture and grasp the history. Thank you for you understanding.

@@KameroonEmperor It would be cool if they used the pattern as the red stripe.

It's not about the flag's symbolism, but what the flag symbolizes. The red-green one is the symbol of rule under ussr and under Lukashenko. The white-red-white flag is a symbol for national self governance and revolution. And the emblem on the flag, sometimes displayed, is a sign of being a part of the Great duchy of Lithuania and relationships with western world.

@@norude But that's the problem, don't you realise how petty that is? Any day, Lukashenko can say "hmm the people look angry at me today, let's switch to this other flag so they can be tricked into chilling out" and can change the flag to the white-red-white flag. What happens if Lukashenko decides to change the flag to the white-red-white one? (which he certainly can do if he feels a need for morale boost) Will you start hating that flag too? At least the red-green shows an array of cultural symbols. If you do include the crest on the white-red-white flag, why would you want to be associated with being under another rule? Don't you want independence?

@cerebrummaximus3762 I am a belarussian myself and live in Minsk (capital). And you are completely out of touch. Lukashenko will not switch the flag.Displaying ⬜🟥⬜ will literally get you in jail here. I would know, because my mom is in jail for this exact reason. It is considered to be "extremist" to show it. Lukashenko publicly dunked on this flag during the protests of 2020. Which were sparked after the results of the election of august 9 2020 in which the dictator got 80% of the votes. There was an online counting of the election where people had to prove their ballot to vote and Lukashenko got 3% of the votes. At the voting sites people admitted to changing the results and often no observers were allowed. Also the internet was heavily slowed down and opposition's websites were blocked After the results came people started protesting by just walking in big groups on roads, letting an occasional car through them, with tens of thousands of people total, displaying the ⬜🟥⬜ flag. There was absolutely no violence for about 2 days and then the OMON came. (Which is basically an armed police force) OMON started blocking the way and kidnapping people who strayed from the group. A similar gathering was organized by the government and around a hundred people with red-green flags stood and waived them. On a concert here DJ's put on "мы не народец" by "tor band" Translated lyrics here: "We are not cattle, a herd and cowards, we are a living people, we are Belarusians! With faith in our hearts, we keep the order, banner of freedom over your head! Something's wrong, something's wrong something broke in our heads. The soul is very empty, faith is broken, around only the stench, of any size. The cesspool is full to overflowing, well-fed and stupid, you are waiting for an order, when they tell you to beat your people, so wished the sick puppeteer. I believe, I believe, I believe... We are not cattle, a herd and cowards, we are a living people, we are Belarusians! With faith in our hearts, we keep the order, banner of freedom over your head! Where is our conscience? Has it been sold? I'm afraid my answer will be very banal. We began to be cowardly, afraid, tremble, we were taught to knock again. And if a little something: “My hut is on the edge, I didn’t see it, I didn’t hear it, I don’t know for sure!” That's what a moral freak does but not the native Belarusian people. I believe, I believe, I believe... We are not cattle, a herd and cowards, we are a living people, we are Belarusians! With faith in our hearts, we keep the order, banner of freedom over your head!

Moscow´s Genocide of Belarusian nation. Terrifying reading, sorry for using straight forward google translate : "After World War II, the 10-million-strong Belarus lost about 3 million of its inhabitants, but about 2 million were killed even before the war by the communist NKVD. In Belarus, 70 percent of all Belarusian writers were physically destroyed, scientists and artists were killed. (The troupe of the Third Belarusian State Theater of Vladislav Golubok was arrested in full force. Almost all of them were shot.) They were killed on ethnic grounds. For this, the label "natsdem" was invented (it means - a national democrat, although such a party did not exist). This label was stuck to all Belarusians whom the Stalinists planned to destroy. In the depths of the NKVD, a non-existent anti-communist organization SVB ("Union of Liberation of Belarus") was invented. Under an invented phantom, the NKVADists carried out arrests, conducted an imaginary investigation, interrogated, tortured, tried, then exiled to Russia and shot innocent people. After the Riga Agreement in 1921, Belarus was divided between Poland and Russia. The division border was drawn not far from Mensk. There was a secret order from the NKVD to destroy the entire Belarusian population along the border. The Russian auxiliaries wanted to create a deserted area here. The destruction was carried out by the border troops. The trustees were given a rifle and a shovel. When such a border guard soldier met in a deserted place (on the road, in a field, in a forest) a lonely Belarusian or Belarusian, or a child, he would shoot a person, immediately dig a hole with a shovel and fill up the corpse. That was the instruction. The people in the villages were not so afraid of the "man with the gun" as they were the soldier with the shovel. (These facts were published in the Belarusian press in the early 90s.) In the 30s, 95-99 percent (almost completely) was destroyed (exiled and shot) the Belarusian communist-party and Soviet administration. Even the directorate and business leaders were destroyed. Russians from Russia were sent to the posts of murdered administrators and communist leaders-Belarusians. Russians (the so-called "promoted") came to Belarus, occupied vacated positions, received benefits, property, apartments, and the first thing they did was to close Belarusian schools, translate them into Russian so that their children could study without burdening themselves with studying , as they said, “unnecessary” Belarusian language. Thus, the invaders created a "Russian-speaking population" in Belarus. Ethnocide, linguacide, mnemacid and genocide were carried out by the Bolsheviks at the same time. The extermination of Belarusians by the Russian NKVD continued during the German augmentation as well. In June 1941, in the first days of the war, the communists shot thousands of prisoners in prisons and in stages. Only in the Brest Fortress, where there was a terrible NKVD prison, they did not have time to liquidate all those arrested, some of them fled. Meanwhile, a large group of NKVD overseers and functionaries were blocked in the fortress by the Germans. They sat there for about a month until they died out. About 20 years after the war, the communists came up with a legend about the "heroic defense" of the Brest Fortress.Attention is drawn to the fact that the broad Soviet partisan movement was organized only in Belarus and partially on the ethnic Belarusian lands that were part of Russia (Smolensk region, Bryansk region). There was no partisan movement in occupied Russia. Why? Because the plan for the destruction of the Belarusian nation continued to operate. Moscow, using the organs of the NKVD, dragged the masses of the Belarusian civilian population into the war against the Germans, and thereby exposed the Belarusians to the German attack. The necessary work of the struggle proceeded from an insidious plan and was carried out by vile methods. (Stalin wanted to get a double benefit.) Enkavadists specifically killed a German near a Belarusian village or made another provocation in order to cause a punitive operation of the Nazis (who usually burned the whole village, most often together with people). Thus, by the way, as a result of a special provocation of the Soviet partisans, the famous Khatyn was also burned, which the communists later advertised to the whole world in the 70s as a typical victim of fascist atrocities. As a result of this communist-fascist joint "work", more than 9 thousand villages were burned in Belarus. Moscow did not trust the Belarusians. Therefore, by the end of the war, as a result of a special operation of the NKVD, many Belarusian commanders were sent to death, removed from command, killed and repressed. Their places were taken by Russians sent from Muscovy and loyal NKVADists. In the summer of 1944, when the "Red Army" occupied Belarus, the Russians mobilized into the army on Belarusian territory. Tens of thousands of young Belarusian men, almost without preparation, were thrown into the front line of the front. Russian commanders raised them into unnecessary attacks under the fire of German machine guns, without even giving weapons in hand, or with rifles, but no cartridges. They died in thousands, like grass under a scythe. And those that fled back, fell under the bullets of the NKVD"

According to this guy according to thats guy, you know i am kinda tired of such ,,true" ,,honest" and ,,credible" historians. Its like that butthurt polish ethnographer who tried to push this pseudo scientific theory that russians are not slavs. Historians who dont have bias do exist they have always existed but there were many who portrayed things as they pleased

@@Silver_Prussiannot true, the Grand Duchy of Moscow was a Nordic state, the only Russians who are Slavs are those that were conquered and enslaved by the Muscovites

@@xp8969 muscovy was part of the kievan rus you big dum dum it was a principality like the rest of the states within the kievan rus

@@Silver_Prussian muscovy was a pretender Kievan princedom. not a true one. It was a frontier fort that decided to call itself a princedom under the rule of the khan after the confusion of the mongol invasion and used that pretext to conquer its former comrades and subject them to mongol slavery.

@@princekyros uhh no it was already a big city by the time the mongols invaded after the mongols stated to fall apart all of the other principalities had the same idea as muscovy, unite the rus again but under their own new rule, muscovy just happend to be the strongest amongst the competition, its autocracy and strength still proved to be success where the other weak principalities such as novgorod failed and got beaten

I like how everybody here is like ,,muh democracy will fix anything" while the balkans and the world in general are a sheer representation of that not being the truth

@@Silver_Prussian nobody is saying it will fix everything, but actual democracy gives the people a right to elect their leader

@@nafanarefour4564 the right to elect the one who will be their leader huh to lead them where ? To the abyss ? Becuase that has been happening here for 30 years. Right now the democratic system has never ever looked more pathetic. In my nation we have already had like 4 elections and we are likely on our 5th in the course of a few months. Fricking italian governments last longer than ours. It all sounds very nice as a concept but in reality its a nightmare of corruption. Not only that but because the multi party system is so great and such a fantastic idea the people are more divided than ever before.

in latvia, at our national library ( Latvijas Nacionālā Bibliotēka ) we have the "Free Belarussian" flag there, along with the Latvian flag

@@manlikeilyas please, write "Belarusian", we ar not Bela Russia, we are Bela Rus'(It's very important)

У нас союзное государство с русскими братьями 🇧🇾🇷🇺 и не пидорам 🏳️‍🌈 с запада нас поучать с кем дружить 😂😂😂

I am from Belarus. I personally more like new flag. And we spoke russian more than belarusian since USSR or even Russian Empire. And Lukashenko is not a bad guy everyone there thinks he is

we are free 😄, man I wish yankees and europeans were free

@@markener4316 you obviously have no idea of what you're talking about, you don't get that he's trolling you. Any nation needs strong leadership. In the west you have dictatorship of corporations, you're slaves of your banks and neoliberal ideology propaganda, where doctors can butcher kids changing their sex, you cannot question common sense. I grew up in Belarus in a small town, got great free university education, healthcare, safety on the streets, no hypocrisy and small talk relationships. I lived in Europe and Canada, I laughed at your freedoms, I don't care how you name it, just keep it to yourselves, stop imposing your decadence on others.

@@yuliasergeevna2310 You know i am not in the U.s.a right? But i do agree *THAT* kind of "freedom" Is absolute bullshit. It is at least forced in a way where if you are smart you can avoid it. At leadt for now in germany, and allthough i dislike some of the politics in your goverment, i do agree most of them there are better then here. To be honest what i meant by you guys being free was that you guys could do what was the best interest of the belerausian people, not be forced to follow Russia's interest blindly by force, but hell i do agree with you a lot there.

@@yuliasergeevna2310 also who said i Was even 18? I don't have a bank account *SO I AM NOT IN CRIPILING DEBT :DDD!* For now :(

@@markener4316 that's nice to know. Good also that you're able to think for yourself and not in labels, judging by mass media in Europe you really are presented with only one perspective on the events. Yes, we did make our choice to stand with Russia, as hardly any country can afford now to be neutral. Even Finland and Sweden lost their precious neutrality and aligned with NATO, which will end Finland's prosperous times. As for us, we have been living for decades under sanctions, as the 'free world' always doesn't like the choices we make and punishes people by destroying our economy under the sauce of helping our people to be free. The choice is obvious for us. As for events in Ukraine it's not so black and white, this war started 8 years ago, and since Europe didn't manage to help end it, that's the only choice Russia had to stop Kiev regime killing people in Donbass. It's a long story, you can check out the Duran channel if interested to keep up with reality. It's sad that Germany is under US occupation, that's done intentionally to prevent you from cooperation with Russia, that's what uncle Sam fears the most. Good luck with everything, God keep you safe!

@@hybridarmyoffreeworld You dont realise it but up untill the mobilisation ukraine has had a massive number advantege f 3 to 1 and still wasn't able to beat the russians . Now they are at their 7th wave of mobilisation how much can they endure ? How many men will they waste before quiting ?

never.

No it wont The advantage computers have is efficience which isnt needed in paintings

You are dumb, . Red-green fans are acting like Belarus did not exist prior 1945. By rejecting RWR flag you are rejecting your history.

White Red White flag does look a lot like the Polish flag, but the Red Green one is just straight up the old Soviet flag without a hammer and sickle, implying that Belarus is just a Russian puppet state.

🇧🇾🇧🇾🇧🇾❤❤❤

For what?

@@mememe3484 cuz it's cool

@@mememe3484 Because removing it is still oppressing Belarus culture?

For example like red rhombuses or red oultline of rhombuses

the author of the flag was russian artist Husieŭ in 1956. Being a russian occupant in Belarus, he was jailed for colloboration with german occupants.

slava rossiya, bitch

@@okokokaync shut up russian in your country they show fake news💀

@@okokokaync even your allies hate you god damn 😭

I don't think so. Simple doesn't always mean bad. This combination of white and red colours looks very good better than in Austrian flag. Association is very important but I prefer the old flag visually anyway, even though I don't hate the current one. And it's deaper than pro-Lukashenko or anti-Lukashenko. It's a choice whether Belarussians prefer heritage of Grand Duchy of Lithuania or the Soviet Union. As a Pole I'm obviously biased towards the first option.

@@MyPrideFlag i saw plenty of comments Poles and Liths. that Belarus doesnt have anything with GDL

@@simkelacasa Then they don't know shit. GDL was started by modern Lithuania but in time most of it's land and population was Belarussian. The official language was ruthenian (proto-belarussian). They definitely deserve GDL's heritage.

@@simkelacasa most of the GDL's territories belong to modern day Belarus. Lithuania is definitely a GDL successor, but so is Belarus - if only its goverment was a little bit wiser.

@@neyte7313 so we can say that Belarus is the heir of the Russian Empire also😉

haters will always hate
