April 16, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> A total of 2,354 people were employed as ideology workers in Minsk as of April 1, said Alaksandar \u0141ukjana\u016d, the Minsk City Executive Committee’s ideology chief, according to a video posted by the agency on Telegram. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state-run Academy of Public Administration plans to retrain \u201cover 220 specialists in the ideological area,\u201d he noted. Today\u2019s meeting of the Minsk City Executive Committee also reportedly focused on the propaganda dissemination in private companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, law enforcers raided the Minsk office of the well-known architectural firm ZROBIM architects, arresting about 50 employees. The crackdown could have been connected to a demand by authorities that founder Andrej Mako\u016dski hire an ideology worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year ago, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka signed an edict that listed education, culture, research, sports, family and youth policies, along with history and media, as priority areas for the dissemination of state ideology \u201cunder special control.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in the three decades of \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s rule in Belarus, his supporters have failed to define what their ideology is. They usually talk about family, traditional values and a socially-oriented state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
