Some students get evicted, others relocated or put together. As many as five sofas are placed in the small dormitory rooms. This is how our capital is preparing for the arrival of foreign athletes and guests at the European Games.
Minsk is expecting a large number of guests at the European Summer Games. This explains that as many as six new buildings of the student village in Pyatroushchyna are being evicted. The comfortable student village was built 3 years ago. The complex of seven houses is designed for 7,500 students from eight universities. Earlier here life was in full swing. Now you can only see odd young people with suitcases and builders, who in the coming months will be preparing the housing for the European Games participants.
We asked the residents of Minsk, if in the current economic situation Belarus should be organizing major sports events?
Ales Putsila, sports commentator, says:
“Yesterday after the European figure skating championship, Lukashenka did not have time to sum it up, but now he says: maybe we should hold the world championship. We can do anything! We are great! For Lukashenka it is very important to show off, to shine, to wave to the world and smile, so that everyone thinks that he is a happy good person and would forget to think that he is a tough, vindictive dictator… He spends money not on Belarusians, but on his image.”
