In Brest, the director of gymnasium No. 4 Elena Shkulepa was fired. She lost her post before the New Year, but this became known only now, informs Euroradio. According to data on the website of the educational institution, the post of director remains vacant.
During the August 2020 presidential election, Shkulepa posted authentic voting protocols at polling stations no. 37 and 38, which were located in her school.
At the 37th polling station, the votes were divided approximately equally: 524 people voted for Lukashenka, and 543 for his main rival Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. At the 38th polling station, the gap turned out to be significant: 380 voters voted for Lukashenka, and 510 for Tikhanovskaya.
The 2020 election campaign from the very beginning took place under conditions of open and strong pressure from the authorities. All three initial opposition candidates (blogger Sergei Tikhanovsky, diplomat and banker Viktor Babariko, and creator of the High-Tech Park Valery Tsepkala) were prosecuted. As a result, Tsepkalo was forced to leave Belarus, and Babariko and Tikhanovsky were under arrest. In 2021 they were sentenced to 14 and 18 years old prisons, respectively.
After the arrest of presidential candidates, the wife of Sergei Tikhanovsky decided to represent the opposition in the elections. According to the official results of the elections, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya received only 10% of the votes, and more than 80% of voters voted for Alexander Lukashenko. Independent observers called these results falsified.
Employees of the Golos platform collected data from the protocols of 1,310 polling stations (there were 5,767 in total in the country). “In most polling stations, either the final protocols were not posted in principle, or they were taken away under the protection of riot police. The 1310 protocols that we have are all that the observers managed to photograph,” – said Vedomosti Pavel Liber, one of the main developers of the platform.
1.26 million people registered in the Golos database, of which 1.05 million voted for Tikhanovskaya on the website, while 536,546 voters sent photos of ballots confirming the fact of the same vote in reality. This is less than the official 588,619 votes cast for a single opposition candidate. However, it is obvious that, firstly, not all voters were willing or able to photograph the ballot. Secondly, not all those who voted for Tikhanovskaya registered and expressed their opinion on the Golos website.
As an analysis of 1,310 protocols received by Golos showed, out of 1.88 million voters, 1.16 million (61.7%) voted for Lukashenka, 471,709 (25.1%) voted for Tikhanovskaya. It turns out that 80% of the votes for her were given in 25% of the polling stations, and this is a statistical anomaly.
There were also reports of fraud from some polling stations. Thus, the 29-year-old director of the Volkovysk Military History Museum named after Bagration Konstantin Shishmakov, being a member of the electoral committee, refused to sign the protocol of voting in the presidential elections. After that, he disappeared, and then was found dead. And in Vitebsk, the head of precinct election commission No. 25, Sergei Pitalenko, admitted that he rewrote the voting protocol, thereby hiding Tikhanovskaya’s victory.
The United States and the European Union did not recognize the results of the elections in Belarus, which caused a powerful wave of protests in the country. The authorities responded with unprecedented repression, which has been going on for the second year. Svetlana Tikhanovskaya was forced to leave Belarus immediately after the elections. She talks about the usurpation of power in Belarus and insists on holding real presidential elections in accordance with democratic procedures.
