Russian propagandist and former deputy of the Russian State Duma Nikolai Burlyaev decided to explain to Belarusians that they, it turns out, have no right to consider themselves a separate people, because, according to his belief, everyone should belong to the so-called “Holy Russia”.

As reported by Censor.NET , on the air of the program of Belarusian propagandist Grigory Azaryonko, Burlyaev called the desire for national identity “provincial separatism” and stated that in Ukraine he allegedly “defeated Holy Rus.”

According to the Kremlin propagandist, Ukrainians, due to their desire for independence, have allegedly “struck into Satanism.”

Now Burlyaev fears that Belarusians may also perceive themselves as a separate people, and not part of the “single space” invented by Russian ideologists.

“This separatism is a very dangerous trend. In Ukraine, he defeated Holy Russia, and they fell into Satanism. God forbid that such a thing should happen in Belarus, that the Belarusian people imagine themselves to be some kind of separate people. I absolutely do not agree with this. There is decay somewhere, someone wants to prove that they are a special people. No, this is all Holy Russia,” said propagandist Burlyaev in a video posted online.
