Ideology In Business 11:29, 02/03/2004, Olga Mazaeva, Nezavisimaya Gazeta (Russia)
Belarus is in danger to fall into ideological idiocy. In the country a “vertical line of authority” was created. It is responsible for brainwashing among population. A recent decree of the president Lukashenka a number of ideology staff in administration of every oblast was determined – not less than 15 people. However, the ideology as a set of ideas is not present yet, and nobody knows what ideas to put into common citizens’ minds. Last week Lukashenka signed a decree, according to which ideological work is to be carried out at enterprises of private ownership. The director holds personal responsibility, and one of his deputy directors is to implement the work. But how to compel the businessmen to carry out president’s will, the bureaucrats have not invented yet. The ideological work department of Minsk city administration refused to comment on it to the “NG”, though they declared that they “have certain ideas and they are studied and worked over now”.
