I dont doubt it at all, what i do doubt is the very obvious ties the opposition has to western backed influences and how there's no real left opposition. I think the strikes have also been over emphasized and it was never as large scale as really reported. I'm not sure how overthrowing Lukashenko would result in anything other than a western backed government stepping in. I'm seeing some very obvious parallels with Bolivia here, tho there doesnt seem to be the same sort of large leftist movement in Belarus to at least oppose them. I mean it is what it is at the end of the day I guess.
