Anti-semitic remarks help the dictator receive money from Russia.

Belsat TV made a story about anti-semitism in Belarus and asked Minsk residents about their attitude towards the Jews.

Before World War II, 28,000 out of 35,000 Pinsk residents were Jews. The most well-off lived in Karlin suburb, the place of birth of many prominent people. The Karlin-Stolin Hasidic Dynasty is still considered to be the most influential in the US.

Belsat's journalist Ales Zaleuski didn't notice anti-semitism in today's Pinsk. However, he noticed that most people he met were afraid of talking about it.

Does the problem of anti-semitism exist in Belarus? Guests of Human Affairs talk show – writer and blogger Yauhen Lipkovich and Radio Svaboda's observer Vital Tsyhankou – try to answer this question.

“The recent remarks about the Jews that Lukashenka made during his address to the nation are attempts to fit in with the anti-semitic trend in Russia. He has problems with receiving money from Russia, and such statements help him,” Yauhen Lipkovich says.

Watch the video to learn why Aliaksandr Lukashenka continues to speculate on this theme.
