Belarusians Strip After Lukashenko's Speech

The President of Belarus, in a public speech, stated: 'You know what to do, what goals to achieve. It's clear; IT, innovation, and privatization and such things. Everything is obvious; everyone must strip and work. We must work as much as possible, otherwise we will die...' At first glance, these words might not seem strange if the President's language was different: the leader of Belarus, who has not left his position for 22 years, was supposed to say 'we must be nurtured and work,' otherwise the nation might 'die' from hunger. However, the word 'razgievatsya' in Russian, the language spoken by more than 70% of the country's people, has a different meaning: 'one must strip and work,' and apparently, the President of Belarus meant to say 'razvivat'sya'! In any case, after listening to the speech multiple times, it becomes clear that there was no mistake; the President himself said: 'strip and work.' This was enough to spark a wave of national nudity in Belarus. Boys and girls from various professions and cities stripped and shared their pictures on social media. Bodies, some parts of which were covered with workplace tools and equipment, turned into a widespread wave of criticism and humor. This wave did not remain limited to Belarus either. After all, the President said something... and the people listened.
