But the distance between TV-Belarus and real Belarus increases more and more. And even most "закоренелые" pensioners begins to doubt.
I have to agree with that. My aunt who is rather old lady, but still works (she lives in Vitebsk and teaches students Latin and French at medical university) and always was a strong supporter of Lukashenko is started to doubt about him. She still voted for him at this elections, but just for the reason that "there is not any decent alternative", not because she is still great fan of him.
