They were washbrained by Tsarist and later communist propaganda. Most of them speaks only Russian, so it is not suprise for me. Lukashenko is not the one who will give them honest historic education.

Interesting. My Daughter-in-Law is very intelligent with a college degree. She is fluent in four languages. She seems to be very apolitical and does not understand our keen interest in politics. I think many of the people there are like that since under the Soviet Union, taking a political stand was severely discouraged. Also, she has little interest in history, but seems interested when I bring up some history like the Lithuanian-Polish Confederation which included Belarus and Ukraine for three hundred years.
