Mr. President Lukashenko,

Surely you understand already that your rule in our country ends soon. During this time we urge you not to make further mistakes, but try to correct what you have committed already. After years of hesitation from one direction to the opposite, outright robbery and violence, lies and insults, you need to finally make the single most important step in your life - step towards goodness and truth, mercy and love, towards your own heart and soul and your human spirit, earnestly apologize to everyone who lived, lives and will live on the Belarusian land, for the insult to the memory of ancestors, for the spoiled life of contemporaries, and for the unlucky legacy, which  you leave to descendants.

Now you are loosing your last chance not only to save your reputation, but also to gain recognition as a person, equal with others, those who have the right to determine the life and fate of nations. And do not talk about provocation, because you have personally given the order for this brutal violence. The tail should not wrap the dog, and having so many tails is even more harmful and dangerous.

Now you can be saved only by the Belarusian people, whom you have despised all the time, people who have faith, which you do not understand, and the immortal spirit, who are capable of creating, storing and multiplying their achievements. We have made our choice and we accept the responsibility for it. It's our choice, which you trampled into the bloody snow, but still could not destroy, and even strengthen.

You must ask for excuse from those who are now thrown into prison to the abuse and torture, and only then people will also forgive your sins and endless mistakes. It is hard and difficult, and you have not much time for it, but you need to decide now, there is no another chance. You're not afraid only of the dead, but it is most difficult to obtain forgiveness from them.

We are not saying for whom we voted in the election, so you must realize that all of our candidates are equally worthy and deserve equal respect, and of course everyone should be free. You have only one week to do it. From the start of next year the days start to count down, and within a year we will no longer hear your false television congratulations.

You already finished your only decent mission - you have convinced everyone that such dirt should never climb up to the top again, so now you can say goodbye and leave, saving your still remaining advantages.

In just 270 days new Russian pipelines will come into production, and your last allies will leave you. But the world will never forgive your beastly violence, as well as arms and drug trafficking that brings death and suffering to many innocent people.

Do not lose your last chance.

No respect anymore, so let's just say goodbye,

The people of Belarus.
