I support 1420 and its mission. However, I sometimes find the content about as palatable as sawdust: such that I can't finish a whole mouthful without choking and retching.
Daniil Orain, Is it possible to assist in translation of the videos as some of the translation is not accurate. It does represent the people point but not the way they represent it.
Ask them about the concept of childhood learned helplessness
@@dmitry6763In everyday speech-literal translation is not always accurate and vice versa
@@user-mi5xq8zj7u I definitely agree with you, and i think it can be better improved rather than dumbed down translation
"I don't think I"m allowed to answer this question". That's all you need to know about lack of freedom in Belarus and/or Russia.
What do you call freedom? Please, describe me freedom. How much freedom do you want? People are using these cliché words 'freedom' and 'democracy' without thinking that it is not something universally good. One country democracy is another country oppression.
No, it's a country far far away😅
"Yes, I don't know who you represent, so I'm not sure if you're trustworthy" is also another line. Like, it shouldn't matter who anyone represents in this kind of matter. Like it should be "I don't want to answer that", and not "I'm not allowed to answer that".
Or a weird translation, what happened here.
She said "I did not believe I could express my thoughts now, in the moment..."
"Я даже не верила, что я могу озвучивать свои мысли в такой момент."
Whatever that would have meant, the translation has nothing to do with what was said.
Gosh sakes. I think you're not a bot. They're roughly 95 percent of the message boards I've been posting on today. Noticed that over just the last several days? Ever since the, mmm, you can't use that word without being shadowbanned? I went off on a certain world figure, leading to my posts disappearing, somehow I can post again. Believe me, I got vigorous against him.
I've just realised that this channel is probably going to be a vital historical document in a hundred years' time. Imagine having interviews like these from Nazi Germany or Stalin's USSR.
there are plenty of interviews of people from stalin's ussr. Not as much but still
They would have assumed that the interviewer is from Gestapo or NKWD
That's right
Yes, I've long felt that way.
Good point. Hope Daniil sends copies to a safe haven outside his country.
The people of Belarus are free to vote for whoever Putin wants them to vote for.
Lukashenko obviously wins the elections each and every time in Belarus. If Lukashenko cheats then what makes people think Putin won’t?
Eh Lukashenko is kind of a pain in Putin's ass tbh, he refused to send troops into Ukraine and has not fulfilled integrating Belarus economically into Russia like he wanted. There doesn't seem to be any love there.
@@johnwayne8494 He is the Musolini of the XXI century.
@@johnwayne8494 Likasenko is between two stones. He knows that people would revolt. They like Ukraine more than russians. Putin knows this and does not press him too much because he risks Lukasenko would fall and he does not have enough force available to control the situation. The main point is Lukasenko was maneuvered into this position its not his choice and he suresly does not fell comfort there
@@JesusSanchez-ij5de I’d say Mussolini had more charisma. Lukashenko always looks nervous around Putin, lacking any confidence.
I live in Belarus. It is really THAT BAD here right now. Level of repressions is mindblowing. If you say something they dpn't like, they will easily find and punish you 100%, not even 99.9%.
Да видимо лукашенко крепко держит вас в кулаке. Ну ничего, может следующий президент у вас будет лояльнее. Привет из россии🇷🇺
Here in Britain, if you are active in informing the population, for example a Alex Jones, you will go on a watch list, face intimidation by the security state, be black listed from working in many circles.
How they control the population, is through fake democracy by making the people think they have a say.
А кроме репрессий там что плохо?
@@sambaron7340 кроме репрессий ни*уя нет
Sounds like the Biden syndicate
Was positively surprised by the mentality but then realized this was Belarus and not Russia. Happens every time.
Belarus isn't as infected by Russian imperialist mentality.
this is how I'd at least expect people under a dictator.. russians meanwhile in general seem on a whole another level.
Belarus has obviously been more influenced by core European values.
Because it was an essential part of Kiev Rus, Grand Duthy of Lithuania and Poland up until the end of 18c. when the latter one was divided between Russia, Prussia and Austria.
European values are to spend three times more on oil from Russia than on aid to Ukraine
- I'm not asking about Belarus
- Yes, but we all know I'd be answering about Belarus
You are doing important work. You are bearing witness to history. Please be careful and stay as safe as you can.
I pray that one day these people will be free.
pray ... yes ... fight also maybe...
your prayer will do nothing. They're not willing to take action to earn their freedom.
@@dmy_troможет просто им этого не надо? Например за Путина голосует 55% примерно. Опозицую которая утверждает что Путин диктатор только 2-6%. Однако почему-то по мнению западного обывателя все должны бороться за свободу. Так за какую свободу они должны бороться? 😂
…method of dying young!! Ask the conscripts in the Russian military before they die for Czar Putin.
@@Ivan.Danko.KGB. Jesus will judge you people, at the end of time when the Judgement day arrives. All of you comrades will be questioned, if the so called communist purpose is to help the people, why blind people to become dictator's subject to listen to? Why are you communist reject god? Asking yourself this before the end of 21st or judgement day will come to you people
Everyone seems to know what they aren't supposed to say.
It's 1984
It‘s 2024 my dude…
Unfortunately we have things we cant say in Western Europe too.
@@Simonsvidsreally? Like what?
@@yebro4636this comment might be a joke but I think michaelhenault1444 was referring to the book Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell
In some countries the clocks go the other way round. Here is 1957 and there,'s a guy called Elvis making a lot of noise with a new craze called rock'n roll
It's extremely sad to realise that these people are terrified of giving their opinions- The state literally has eyes and ears everywhere.
Like any other advanced state lol
@@kxkxsjk2Not really. In Western Countries you can be critical of your government without repercussions. In the U.K. we have people with megaphones and placards protesting against many things right next to 10 Downing Street day in day out. It’s very rare they get arrested and non of them have ever fallen out of windows not long after!
@@matthewdowning6009 I'm not talking about repressions, the OP said that the state is always listening and watching. I just referred to that and said that a lot of countries do it too. Btw do these protests work? Something changes much after them?
@@matthewdowning6009 I mean I just remembering protests in France last year, when the government raised up the age for retirement. And I remember protesters being beaten up by police, but I don't remember if actually something changed after protests. Maybe you can give me some specific examples when it helped?
Cops ran sirens at night in MPLS summer of 2020 to keep people from sleeping and as intimidation tactic. No MPLS police live in the city.
Cop City Atlanta is f'd.
Seattle cops are awful. LA cops are awful. Legal murder happens every day. White supremacists have infiltrated all levels of law enforcement.
At least the people of Belarus still believe in democracy. Everyone saw the huge protests in 2020 after Lukashenko was "reelected", they are still fighting. But as long as Russia exists, every protest will be beaten down violently.
Lukashenko arrived in power in 1994, 6 years before Putin. He has been beating on protesters and rigging elections long before Putin. In 2020, it was belarussian cops doing the beating, not russian.
Post-soviet autocratic regimes have their own agency, despite Russia's influence.
If Russia didn't exist probably Europe had close borders with dictatorship china which is the way worse
"As long as Russia exists" I hope you see what you wrote.
Belarus law enforcement is much more brutal than russian though. I doubt that even if Putin and his regime go down, Belarusians will overthrow Lukashenko without external help. They are unarmed and (currently) disorganised due to all the leaders being in jail
@@ShimonDanilov that's what they belorussian opposition has done to itself when it refused to go to the end in 2020. "We don't want to repeat Ukrainian's Maidan" they said. Well, you didn't, that's the problem.
You can see the concern on their faces when answering 😢
Belarus must be free❤
Daniel, a little bit of reverse psychology there! "A dictatorship on a different continent", what would you do? 😂😂 It almost worked!
It's both sad and a bit funny how none of these hypothetical questions, psychological techniques, etc in the interviews seem to work, no matter how he tries to spin them lol. You really get nowhere talking to people living in dictatorships or asking them for their opinions in attempts of trying to help the situation, unfortunately, except for the ones who are brave enough to say what they think
@@MW_Asura- True. Only the super brave can lead the sheepeople to freedom. And to keep it take constant effort… 😮
As far as I can see, repression is likely even worse in Belarus, yet the people seem more engaged and conscious about the situation (despite often refusing to answer). I feel like in Russian interviews people often find excuses not to respond. Here they blatantly say that they cannot speak, but it looks like they would have something to say.
1500+ political prisoners currently, kept in harshest conditions, dying like Navalny
In the USA much more Tramp supporters are in jails right now. No words about them, yeh?
The nicolae ceausescu solution works
But you know that he was captured an put on trial by his coworkers and accomplices? And executed by Securitate agents? It was the system which got rid of him, not the people of Romania.
@@renemagritte8237True, but his coworkers understood that people wanted to finish with comunist dictatorship
@@renemagritte8237
> But you know that...
This is not exactly true...
@@renemagritte8237Yes but the people started the fall! When the system crumbles, the tyrant will get eaten by his close dogs.
@@renemagritte8237 that's also my knowledge. But it was a reaction to the people revolting on the streets. Just remember the prighozin incident. Russia already had an coupe attempt, even without people beeing on the streets in masses. When things get hectic in belarus or russia you don't knwo what will happen. It might as well be circles of the regime itself which turn sides in order to safe themself
Unlike so many of the Russians, it is very clear these Belarusian people are updated on the real status quo.
Bruh, the dictatorship in Belarus is stricter than in Russia, no matter how much CNN shits in your ears
Dude, that’s Minsk
They don't have an imperial mindset.
sorry, what? like a lot, I mean A LOT, of people in Russia are "updated" too. You really should not make ur opinion about Russians only looking at Putin and elder people.
Россияне тоже борются, просто видимо вы за этим не следите или не заходите в нужные источники информации

Any uprising in Belarus would cause Russian intervention. So its very complicated.
I’m sometime frightened for you and the interviewees, even hypotheticals bring the fear in some of their faces and makes me so very sad. It’s what fear and oppression is all about, you bring it to life like no others. Let freedom ring and please be safe, your segments are invaluable windows into the psyche of having to conform to such darkness. I believe they are invaluable tools for understanding the effects of dictatorships have on their people, and their coping mechanisms.Thank you on behalf of all who strives for truth and freedom.

@@antoinepetrov in facts I stand for an independent Siberian Federation. Siberia must be freed from Moscow
@@antoinepetrov Mr. Petrov go and see a psychiatrist.
belarus, moldova, transnistria will all be under russian control within a decade if west doesn't give ukraine all it needs to defend itself
It will happen eventually. One can already feel Belarussians progressed further than their Russian neighbours.
When you are too scared to dream, it's time to leave or really do something about it. But continuing living like that, well that's not something i would call even a life.
The gent at the end is correct. There are so many countries where the politicians and leaders are in it for themselves and not their constituents. Promises, promises, promises but their own desires first.
Each time interviews with Belorussians come up..... it's stunning how well trained the population is - they have no doubt they will be found out, and they have no doubt they will have severe problems to deal with.
I would like to hear a similar survey in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan.
1420 It's the Russian channel I watch. I love the courageous and direct way in which he addresses the issues that concern free and non-conformist spirits. Thank you very much for contributing to a united, pluralistic and universal European society.
Big Hug from Portugal.
I admire your courage to report honest interactions given the state of affairs in Russia. How may I ask do you ensure your safety? How is it that such a repressive government hasn’t tried to silence you?
I really feel for those who live in Russia and Belarus
Why?)
Keep trying, you doing a good job.

Very good video Daniel, ask the hard questions make people think. The only way to change a mind . Keep up the good work .
Thank you for these interviews. Regards from Poland.
Беларусы не здавайцеся. Будзе і ў нас лепшае жыццё
Leave from Belarus without thoughts
By asking these questions you risk these people getting in trouble!
Daniil doesn't care. Content and donations are all that matters.
@@thegreen9728 You are mistaken. Asking questions can get in trouble only the one who asks. Giving answers can evtl. get them in trouble if they are not cautious enough. But they really are. They (almost all) deliver smart answers so there is no way someone can get in trouble if they'd be arrested and questioned.
There is always possibility of being beaten up to death in some dark alley by "unknown" perpetrators. But I really doubt someone would do it.
@@thegreen9728 Is that really the right mindset, to put blame on a reporter asking questions for the actions of a government?
@@douglastakle8242 Yes. He chose it himself.
@@renemagritte8237 Dude, you don't live in Russia or Belarus.
Life here is not a show about lawyers, where you will be acquitted for a "smart answers". In our countries, if they take an interest in you and come to visit you, it's not to ask questions. They'll just beat a confession and apology out of you on camera and then put it on the internet so others won't do the same. That's how fear is cultivated.
Moreover, this practice began in Belarus in 2020. And now it is being successfully copied by their russian colleagues. We call it Belarusization of Russia :)
The first interviewee is really really smart with how they responded.
im more and more impatient to see your next videos :D
Love them
The last guy said it right imo
When you vote someone in, you voted to allow them to be a dictator for that term. It's their job to be who decides. But checks and balances mess it up sometimes like Mike Johnson.
@@rachelnise2473 Presidental republics, yes. Many other systems does not work quite like that. Thank god
Belarus is closer to real freedom than one might think, but some struggle is still necessary. They have many neighbors whose struggle was successful.
That's the thing: they fear the struggle because they saw in the Ukrainian example what it takes to be free. They DON'T WANT to pay that price for their freedom. They openly said this in 2020 when they got a chance. If only someone else did that for them.
Excellent question!! 👍
Very interesting questions and the inability to answer in many cases is rather telling . Keep up the good work you all are doing ...it truly helps others around the world SEE the circumstances as they are. The insight is very valuable. There is something upcoming that may help people understand how significant change can happen without bloodshed or revolution involving violence.
Best wishes to Daniil and TEAM and THANK you again for your efforts 👍

Indeed, most rulers don't give a crap about people, even in West EU.
But if i go out in a crowded market place in France with cops and people and shout "MACRON SUCKS, I WISH HIM A FLASH CANCER!!", i won't get shot or arrested and attacked for a "lèse-majesté" crime, and many people with actually loudly cheer on that. Not that it'll change anything. But that's the point. It WON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
And that's how you know if you still have some kind of freedom and right to not be a simple minded robot in your country or not.
He didn't.
He initially estimated it to be just half of the countries. Presumably only talking about the countries, where things are particularly bad. But then he corrected himself to say that it's actually bad everywhere in one way or another.
On another continent, or another galaxy, a long long time ago?
Yes. Imaginary country.
The last guy is 100% right. No leadership on earth truly cares about the people. Sadly🙏
Thank you, take care.
Are we watching people from Belarus at the verge of losing all hope in free speech and democracy and any vestiges of freedom? Or, are we to hold on to the little hope they themselves cling to as proof of the arc of history bending towards Justice?
The situation is extremely difficult right now. People have no rights. It is much more difficult because of the fact that the West has thrown Belarus at Russia's mercy, and there is no decisiveness in their actions.
@@grandcruel4966 west has thrown? What are you talking about? Belarussian people in 2020 openly refused to resist the regime using violence. Do you want someone else to go die for Belarussian freedom?
No. That's the sacrifice that they need to do themselves. And if they refuse, well, it's their choice to live in dictatorship.
As a Canadian looking in, I always love to hear Belarusians speak. They are not as lost as the Russian people, and I believe they have a similar spirit to the west. I know that they are under a very difficult situation with Putin and Lukashenko.

Ask them: "What constitutes a CRIMINAL government?"
Everyone in Belarus knows what a criminal state is. Asking for an opinion in Belarus today is like asking for an opinion in Nazi Germany. Nobody will speak their thoughts openly. Look at how many people went out in 2020, the scale of repression now, and you will understand everything. Belarusians are being gagged.
It is impossible to break a dictatorship until it happens, like in Poland (starting in 1980) in 1989, Eastern Germany in 1989 or in Egypt, Libya or Tunesia in 2010/2011. Some end more or less peaceful and some in a civil war.
The question is simple and their response is simple. They are frightened.
The question is not simple because all people in the world are looking now at the USA, where the fascist Trump wants to get to the power.
I agree with the man who thinks that there isn’t a decent ruler in the world.
Enoch Powell....except the English were scared of him.
power most times corrupts even the best. for now we'll just have to do with and choose the lesser evil. I'm sure there are some people that somewhat genuinely care and that also aim for presidency in some countries
@@PlasticDoll. Sometimes it's better to choose overt evil over covert evil.

@@jackwinter1385It seems like some of the longest shots are from over two miles away. Though getting that long of an unobstructed view is probably rare unless the target is at an airport or something.
@@TM10000 hope there are ways to be successful, in the name of Russian and Ukrainian people....and the rest of the world too.
Great question!
All i see is comments put up with it .Would these people put up with cancer in their body , or would they take action to eradicate it
"1984" was a warning not a manual.
Hell, yeah, as every weapon was made to stop wars
Belarus... unlike Russia/Muscovy will eventually be free... Russia cannot ever be free of itself...and would be best for the world if it disappeared from having any influence anywhere anymore ...a tragedy actually...not a great nation...never was .. Belarus having spent most of its history outside of its control still has the opportunity for another path ..
I'm not so sure leaving is easier. Leaving your Country, Family, profession...house or apartment, that's not easy.
Im not allowed to answer ... thats just fear on highest level. Remember you are many and he is one
It´s interesting to check that despite having a government that is even more authoritarian than in Russia and that has a policy of Soviet nostalgia that is even more entrenched than that of the Russian gov. you still tend to hear less nonsense and bullshit in your interviews with Belarusians than with Russians.
These are very different countries.
belarussians: "its impossible"
west europe in 18th and 19th hundert - Hold my beer.
Sure some people would die within a war in a country - but thats most likely to end it.
they're chronically scared to go that route. They'd rather choose dictatorship over revolution.
They got a chance in 2020, and the opposition openly refused to repeat what Ukrainians did in their country. Some of their own people actually joked about it and said "they're peaceful nation and won't start a violent resistance".
Well, you don't overthrow a dictatorship by peacefully protesting. So, I guess, what they have today is their own choice. They deserve what they got.
Something about the last guy resonates with me. Something in his voice sounds like he wanted change, but the politics around him turned it to a faint echo.
As an American, it made me think of a future America…
In 2003 Putin signed a border treaty with Ukraine, his signature is worthles!
Apart from the dictatorship, and being a russian puppet state, I would get out of Belarus because of it’s freezing, miserable weather in winter.
I lived in Greenland for three years. Belorussia is warm and fertile. Stop whining- not everyone is as soft as you (except if I visited the warm places you probably prefer and wilted like an unwatered flower😅).
Belarus is such a good country
Belarusian spring and summer the best. Very comfortable
Nothing happens by itself
Please make a video about what Russians’ opinion on Transistria asking for Russia’s help and a possible annexation. Love your videos
I wonder what are the demographics of the people who watch 1420? Is a significant of people Russian watching or its just foreigners
Have you noticed the people who are being interviewed look around to see if any one is watching or listening to them scared to make remarks that could endanger their freedom,who wants to live in a dictatorship.
I think these people are very brave taking into consideration the political system they live in.
Saved the best for last I see.
It’s sad to see how much the people are afraid to even say what they think. The fear in their eyes … just sad.
This is great.
04:01 You are right Sir " there are many leaders who do not meet the demands of their people""
Once enough young people are hungry and with no future change will happen.
Freedom is Never given voluntarily by the Oppressor.
It Must be Demanded by the Oppressed.
YOU MUST DEMAND IT and if necessary, FIGHT for it!
For it will not be given freely.
You don't need to put up with it. You need to stand together think of what future you want for your children and fight for it.
People have the true power, not the dictator. Just need to break the spell.
Daniil for President!
As a Belarusian, I can say, don't ask us, because we didn't succeed in this. We can probably only tell what not to do😢
The grass always looks greener on the other side
And about half the time it is.
'I don't believe I'm allowed to answer that question.'😢😢
I KNOW! They’re so disgustingly brainwashed and UN-SELF AWARE.
It’s like time travel to Stalin’s USSR--uneducated serfs with no capacity for critical thinking.
Isn’t there a leader among them to organize at least SOME KIND of resistance?
Totally pathetic.
Almost everyone is scared to go against dictators. Unity becomes a stronger tool against dictator.

What if people were to connect in the digital underground and decide on a specific day to go on strike? They don't show up for work. What if everyone stayed home, stopped communicating with the authorities and only helped each other out in their own small communities?
Некоторые украинцы считаю, что они боролись с диктатором Януковичем и победили его, но в результате получили ещё большую диктатуру и страна фактически потеряла независимость. Им запрещено покидать свою страну, больше чем за 30 лет "независимости" в стране полностью уничтожены целые отрасли промышленности, например авиастроение, судостроение, космическая отрасль, автомобилестроение и другие. Страна вся в долгах и живет за счет подачек. Из-за безработицы вынуждены нелегально бежать из страны или идти воевать за интересы других стран.
You are ignoring a big elephant in the room. Russia kept covertly and overtly sabotaging Ukraine all these years even before the full scale invasion. Now imagine an alternative reality with a peaceful Russia, where it keeps its tentacles away from Ukraine and minds its own business. Life could have been so much better for both Ukrainians and Russians.

The only possible exception that comes to mind is the new Argentinian ruler. Time will tell if he becomes corrupt, but for now he is bright and shiney like a new penny.
Belarus like 35 years ago others could only start a revolution if Russia would not interfere like the USSR didn’t in 1989. but the man is right. Democracy is in decline all around the world. Rich rulers come to power very often by election cause democracies failed with globalization and neoliberalism. Not that it would get any better necessarily but they want to believe that one ruler can decide faster and ruthless to peoples benefit… the opposite is happening or just few very very very rich and the silent majority in utter poverty.
