Lukashenko: There are no analogues of the Soviet experience of nation-building in history

Alexander Lukashenko recalled the strength of the historical unity of the Commonwealth peoples, BelTA informs.

The President called the mechanism of interaction within the CIS the most important tool to strengthen the political and economic strength of the Commonwealth states and the region as a whole.

“We stand on the shoulders of several generations, who in their time managed to create a powerful state from scratch, which became one of the geopolitical centers of power. It was formed on the commonality of goals and respect for the traditions and cultures of our peoples. That is why it was strong. There are no analogues of the Soviet experience of nation-building in history,” said the Belarusian leader.

In this regard, said Alexander Lukashenko, there is nothing surprising in the fact that a new unification of the now sovereign states is undesirable in the current geopolitical configuration.

“We have always known this, so we have done everything to preserve such a unique model, which we managed to do. Look: the Soviet Union is long gone, but attempts to demonize the Soviet past in the West do not stop. They continue to fight the ghost there. What does this say? The strength of the historical unity of our peoples, which still worries both Washington and Brussels.”
