      This is a mere translation posted on here the other day. I have not looked into the accuracy of this quote, and have reservations given what I have hard about Lukashenko's attitudes towards certain groups (LGBT, Jews) but here it is:

      " …A bunch of ideas were suggested to me, that [could be considered] our state ideology; I declined all, since none was close to the soul, to the heart of people. What is an idea that can’t overwhelm masses - as classic spoke - and doesn’t touch heart? That is not an idea. And can not be the state idea.

      […] Since the theory of Marxism-Leninism nothing better was built; "Marxism-Leninism is bad" say some - well maybe it is. But we haven’t created anything better. And it was the whole system of views. Today we don’t have such."
