Lukashenka and Zyuganov yet again grieve over the collapse of the USSR

Belarus and Russia lost the system which was unparalleled in the world, claimed Aliaksandr Lukashenka as he met with Chairman of the Russian Communist Party faction Gennady Zyuganov.

We have lost the country, but the worst thing was that we lost the system, which took decades to create and which was unparalleled in the world. If we had polished and improved it, we would have become an absolutely different state even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, - BelTA quotes Aliaksandr Lukashenka’s words. - Today we are demolishing the remnants of that system which we, perhaps, should have preserved, in the economy and especially in the socio-economic development.

Gennady Zyuganov agreed with the opinion of the Belarusian President regarding the breakup of the USSR: “We would have been ahead of the curve by now. Now we have come to the point when we are being squeezed out even from the Olympic Games.”
