Подкасты, отмеченные тегом «34 best 2006-2007»0   At this moment, it is hard to say what will be the long-term impact of the Program on those who have left to study abroad, the Belarusian democratic movement, and the country as a whole. Over the last decade, tens of thousands of young Belarusian have gone abroad to work or study, and most have never returned. Compared to these numbers, 300 repressed students temporarily out of the country are a drop in the emigration stream. Nevertheless, the Kalinousky Program has become synonymous with “brain drain.” This stereotype has persevered in part due to aggressive state propaganda, but also because of the democratic movement’s fears that it will lose some of the most active leaders of the young generation. But Inna Kuley is convinced that the work of her Committee only strengthens the pro-democratic mood in society. She says that students now smile while facing the police during demonstrations, because they are no longer afraid. Young people know that someone has their backs.

0 The scandals surrounding the program are likely to be forgotten soon. But one of the most serious accusations facing its organizers is that the Program is promoting the emigration of Belarus’ “best and brightest.” Nobody can predict how many “Kalinousky students” will actually come back to Belarus after finishing their studies abroad. As well, many youth activists who have been expelled from the universities here now say that they don’t want to leave Belarus for several years. They are exploring possibilities for distance learning from neighboring countries.

0 The Program’s biggest scandal exploded in January 2007, when a “Kalinousky” student publicly declared that he was cooperating with the KGB and reporting on his fellow students. It was an extraordinary moment. All the fears and rumors about the opposition’s penetration by KGB agents were suddenly personified in this young, unremarkable guy. It was so much more real than an anonymous letter from some KGB officer occasionally appearing on some opposition website. The agent “Vector” had a name and a face. He forced democratic activists to take a closer look at their brothers in arms, and once again corrupting the movement with suspicion and mistrust.

0 After April 2006, the mass expulsions and repression ceased. The authorities returned to their normal routine of small scale arrests and expulsions of active students, done in a quiet way, using false pretexts such as “poor academic performance.” It is harder now for one to prove that he or she is being repressed for political reasons. This past fall and winter, during a new wave of mass repressions targeting those active in local elections campaigns, the Kalinousky Program once again drew public attention. Rumor had it that only those young activists who were arrested and spent at least several days in prison were eligible to the program.

0 In the aftermath of the peaceful demonstrations of March 2006, when hundreds of young activists were expelled from state universities, Belarusian democratic leaders and the international community supported the idea of providing repressed young people with the opportunity to study abroad with great enthusiasm. But soon, doubts about and even sharp criticism of the Kalinouski Program replaced the initial euphoria. Initial difficulties and problems, unavoidable with such a large and complex program, were magnified by state propaganda and a lack of transparency in the selection process and placement procedures at universities in Poland. There were rumors that Belarusian students were living in unsanitary conditions and starving, that only the children of opposition leaders were selected, or that it was possible to buy a place in the Program. Only time will tell what is true and what is misinformation, but Inna Kuley claims that the criteria were the same for everyone and all Belarusians studying abroad on these programs will have their educational and living costs covered for the duration of their studies. The only condition is that students pass all their exams successfully. This is the personal responsibility of each and every student.
