West has always considers eastern lands as its potential colonial possessions - Belyaev

The West has always regarded the eastern lands as their potential colonial possession. This opinion was expressed by the dean of BSU Faculty of Journalism, PhD in History, Associate Professor Alexei Belyaev.

Despite all attempts to turn Belarus into a dependent colony, a country with a low standard of living, where people will do any dirty work for a pittance, it has failed, says the historian. "We have grown our own engineering giants, which actively compete on international markets with the same Western companies. Belarus now holds a fifth of the entire world market of potash fertilizers. Belarus has created engineering giants that compete with European companies in foreign markets, our agricultural and food products are respected and of the highest quality, they are in demand in many countries," said Alexei Beliaev. - "Of course, no one likes competition, especially when there is a competitor on the border, which is also benefiting from a number of advantages, such as our agreements with the Russian Federation. That is why the Western claims are primarily aimed at forcing us out of our markets and the world market as competitors. Unfortunately, they do not hesitate to use absolutely non-economic methods for this purpose,
