If the drift of Belarus to the West continues, Moscow may organize a coup d'etat there, but this is unlikely.

This in an interview with the "Observer" said a Russian political scientist, professor, head of the expert group "SOVA" and a member of the public council of the House of Free Russia in Kiev, Mikhail Savva.

"The Kremlin periodically reacts to the statements of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko or his tactical actions with his tough rhetoric. But while statements from Lukashenko in defense of sovereignty are simply a way of economic bargaining. If the drift of Belarus to the West continues, which is unlikely, Moscow may well go on organizing the change of power in this country, "said Savva.

According to him, the relationship of undemocratic regimes, as history confirms, allows for any means.

"However, the" thaw "in Belarus has ended, which showed mass arrests during recent protests. Therefore, the main threat of Kremlin intervention is temporarily postponed, "the political scientist summed up..

As reported by the "Observer", Lukashenka declared himself an adherent of the "European Empire".
