What determines the cultural life of Belarus asked Gerashchenko. "A clear rod I do not see. However, constantly and wherever possible Belarusians are convinced that they are not Russians. This, apparently, is the main direction."

According Gerashchenko promise "Belarusians are not Russians" is anti-national. "Many of today's leaders are not engaged in the culture of the development of the Belarusian culture and advancement in public policy and in the mass consciousness of the devastating anti-national promise that "Belarusians are not Russians". All this can develop into russophobia at the state level and have the most severe consequences."

Conchita Wurst's victory, according Gerashchenko - is "a symbol of the destruction of family values". "In place of Europeans come the peoples of Africa.

Also the pain it causes disruption "Russian March" on May 9.

"I believe that at the legislative level is necessary to legalize the right to use the symbolism of Russia and Belarus on the whole territory of the Union State - Russian flags and coats of arms in Belarus and Belarusian - in Russia."
