This was totally a bad pun about a bad fonetic russian...
We have heard a lot about Belarus after the country detourned a plane from its space to injail a political opponent. We don't hear anymore since, why?
Firstly: Byelorussia or Belarus? Well the first name was used after WWI but may have sounds too marked by the sovit period so now the second one is the official (and it's the actual government which made this decision).
In fact Belarus government was yet high in ou medias during springtime when they injailed a womand because... she was wearing white and red stripes socks: the politic opposition colours!
This is a song from the most popular children show in the 80's in France but these are more the colours of Waldo!
Red and white can have strong meanings in some religions but they mostly are the colours from... pre-soviet period, once again. The actual belarus flag is from 1995 (yet the actual president).
The main opponent said once these were "the colours of honesty" so every products (flags, scarves, umbrellas, bracelets) can become a silent symbol. The firm selling these socks stopped to produce it!
Injailing people because of what they're wearing is kind of stronger than French Education Ministry arguing about "non-republican" crop-tops in schools.
But this is a reminder of a book I've gifted a lot a long time ago, may it be red in schools...
