Chairman of the state TV and radio company, Alexander Zimovsky, compared past and current work of Belarusian ideology with Horizont and Apple TV-sets (At present, Horizont is the CIS largest producer of television electronics and household electronics). "When we stood at the cradle of Belarusian ideology, it looked like a big bulky Horizont TV-set. Now, the ideological work has become a high-tech in nature, and it can be compared with compact Apple TV-set", said the head of BSTRC.
According to Alexander Zimovski, those thesis and ideas that are «in basis of Belarusian ideological chain of command, has been changed a lot for the past eight years». Now, the work of ideological chain of command became more complex, had a multi-faceted, dotty character», quotes BelTA the words of BSTRC chairman.
«Frankly speaking, I don’t know what ideology is», said Alexander Zimovsky. «I wouldn’t venture to identify some essence of the Belarusian ideology as a scientific phenomenon. There is simply ideological chain of command, which works and focuses on the basic principles and ideas. And these ideas are known: the sovereignty of Belarus, the welfare of people and the ability of people to choose a leader — who would guarantee the sovereignty and prosperity».
BSTRC chairman also noted that in his view «the most successful ideologues are practical people». «As Alexander Lukashenko said, the head of the company is the main ideologue», said Alexander Zimovsky.
To confirm that, the BSTRC chairman gave the example of Rechitsa Hardware Plant director’s words. «This man marked the thesis of two words, which wasn’t previously used by our ideologues: philosophy and business», said Alexander Zimovsky. «And showed how these two words can be successfully combined in a single enterprise.»
