    Also there’s one thing the Twitter poster left out: the reason Belarusian textbooks were recently revised was because Lukashenko had taken a look through a philosophy textbook and was horrified at what was being taught, and demanded a return to Soviet norms.

    The President said that he had recently taken a look at the philosophy textbook for university students, the one his youngest son Nikolai is using. “It is a pure nightmare!” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “This textbook is nonsense! Soviet textbooks gave clearly structured answers to all the questions, but this one is garbage. No student will be able to learn it.”

    Educators went above and beyond and not only revised the philosophy textbook, but also threw out the old political economy textbook because as pointed out by the teacher in that short video, mainstream/liberal economic theory is useless for managing the Belarusian economy.
