Two speeches to achieve sports protest in the issue of legitimizing the regime.
1. Transfer of the Ice Hockey World Championship from Belarus. If the championship had been held in Minsk in May 2021, the page would have been turned with confidence. A simple stereotype would come into play: in countries where everything is bad, the world championships do not come. For the schedule, the regime made the former final sweep, the world media of the clean streets inspection, the hockey festival, the cheerful Russian fans and the awards ceremony. There would be no landing aircraft, no 4th and 5th packages, no assembled in the USA. A crossbow with migrants abroad would also be impossible. Already in the summer of 2021, the first handshake with Western politicians is expected. Today we would be in a completely different reality.
2. IOC sanctions against the NOCs of Belarus and two Lukashenkos. it would be discovered that these IOC sanctions are purely symbolic, not environmental protection for the flight. But in the end, it was the IOC who insisted that Lukashenka alone should not be in Beijing now under any pretext. For example, if Lukashenka is currently acting as the president of the NOC, he could easily attend an Olympic event and receive accreditation. There, in the box of honored guests, he would skillfully complain about the hand of friends Pu and Xi, as well as other world leaders. Propaganda could well swell out of this fact of recognition and legitimacy. Photos of these handshakes with comments by corrupt political scientists would have been circulating on state channels for several weeks. And we could also find ourselves in a completely different reality.
The consequences of the two achievements of the sports protest, of course, no one calculated and could not calculate the car.
The conclusion is very simple: we do not know what our actions can lead to the desired result. There is not a single superfluous initiative, project, organization or individual in the fight against dictatorship. Each of our steps can become decisive, causing a chain of inevitable events.
