Лично порвёт пасть инфляции, не иначе.
I think Belarus is beginning to enjoy being an independent nation now... (apart from the currency problem). They have their own style... I think they like law, order and organisation a lot more than Russians do - more like Germans and Scandinavians in that respect. You'll probably never get Belarus back ! Unless there is some kind of "USSR v2.0" and Belarus agrees to join.
Although I get the feeling that the early days of Belarussian independence were a bit like "Oops, what do we do now??!!"
