YOU, VASILY, ARE NOT
RIGHT!
Once we Vasily with you went frequently in Warsaw and I know you as a healthy proof man. When in Warsaw you was attempted to be robbed by three gangsters, you have managed to run away from them, you just appeared stronger than they three, and I, Vasily, then failed to run away, I was put a knife in a side and all my pockets were turned out, and what should I do I want to live.
And now you, Vasily, say that we the businessmen are engaged with policy for nothing, you say that it was necessary to put forward only economical requirements and there are no reasons to be engaged with the policy. You, Vasily, said it to me after the strike and I did not want to argue with you as you were too aggressive, but now through our bulletin I say: "You, Vasily, are not right!"
Not long ago employees of DSEC arrested a woman for bucks, led her into the room of militia and began to threaten to her, saying that they were going to all goods, to put her into prison, to fine at 500 million etc., they know how to do it. The woman has 2 children and does not have husband she was very afraid because she does not know what her children will eat then. She was so agitated that she was sick. One of the employees of DSEC looked at her with contempt and said: "Well, when we arrest them for bucks they either in trousers will do or vomit!". I, Vasily, understand these people, they worry for the families and children, it is their one piece of bread, what shall they do if they lost at once
source of existence, and people are sick and they do in trousers from such stress. But how, Vasily should we understand such the state which leads up the honest citizens to such condition? What for is this state necessary? It should protect interests of the citizens, but only not in our country. You, Vasily, are considered to be “an animal”, a criminal, you can be fined at any moment, your goods can be confiscated or you may be arrested for bucks etc.
Where do you, Vasily, take bucks? Well! And I, Vasily, take them at the same place, we with you Vasily are not Titenkovs to take bucks at the rate of the National Bank and in the National Bank, so we with you Vasily are the criminals. When you were in Warsaw did you see that the Poles write out any slips when they sold their goods, were they afraid to take bucks - no, and I did not see, I did not see it either in Turkey, or in Hungary, in Lithuania, and they are not better then we are. So in Belarus any businessman trying to earn on life is a criminal, the legislative base is such that if you do not break it you will earn nothing. Basically, it is possible to consider all population of the republic to be criminals, for example, to issue a decree according to which people will be not allowed to breathe or eat and then take anyone and put in prison, it is certainly a nonsense, but are not the today's decrees regulating the businessman’s activity a nonsense.
When you, Vasily, says that the politics is not necessary you probably agree that they are cleverer than you they know better what is right and what is not, but you, Vasily, are not right again. You, Vasily, even after a “hard” evening are cleverer than they as for you to earn on the sale of your cranes it is necessary to decide weight of problems: to sell the goods, to buy currency, to go to select the running goods, not to be arrested at purchasing currency, to take the goods through the custom etc. If you, Vasily, had been as engaged in the business as they atre engaged in the national economy, you would have gone bankrupt long time ago, and you, as far as I know, have money not only to life but also to drink vodka. And do you, Vasily, think that these collective-farm idiots are cleverer than you? You are mistaken. They know nothing how to do, they can only take away and divide, under it the legislative base is delivered, all is made that any businessman was defenceless before an outrage of an official.
The Parliament, which Alexander Grigorievch elected, solves problems of such nature: "How should a collective-farm field be sown: lengthways or across?" And problems, which concern us with you, nobody can ask there, Vasily, we are introduced there.
If you, Vasily, say that we should not be engaged in policy, it means, Vasily, that you agree that people are lead up to such a condition when they “do” in trousers. Again you Vasily, are not right, in normal democratic countries such as you active people are encouraged they have all conditions for business, their interests in the parliament and government are introduced by somebody. They, Vasily, these collective-farm idiots, do not know and do not understand our problems and they do not want to know them, they want that you should be not engaged in the policy and they would have an opportunity to turn out your pockets at any moment.
Well, let’s see Vasily: in Warsaw you did not allow the gangsters to rob yourself and here you are agree with the robbery, no Vasily, I can not are agree with you in this! We with you should be engaged in the policy, our policy is that in this country a man can feel that he is a man not a collective-farm cattle. They say that we do not want to pay taxes, it not the truth, you, Vasily, would pay and more only if provided that nobody would approach to you and would not count yours crannes and it is not expedient for them, that then tens thousand of supervisors will do and now they have what to do – they fine you and you feel constant fear – it is the policy,
Vasily!
Yours faithfully.
Alexander, the neighbour on the trade place
Valery Levonevsky has put this dialogue down
The notice:
1. Today there is a politicisation of the businessmen. In it a phenomenon of our republic. A businessman is afraid of the policy. He is interested in his own business. The business brings him small, but constant income. And this income depends on a majority on capacity for work of a businessman. But the income is taken away by the state in distorted and gangster manner and the commands to rob the citizens are given by the politicians who commands over the pocket officials and judges submitting such decrees and orders on which one can be robbed under cover of the law and name of the people.
2. It is a real Vasily, businessman trading at the Ware market in village Southern of Grodno and a real neighbour of Vasily on a trade place.
