“Information War”
An ad hoc commission was created to prepare a launch of “TV Belarus,” an independent channel, which would be transmitted via satellite from Poland. According to Radio Polonia, the channel will be kicked off in January 2007. Programming will include news and shows about Belarus’ history, traditions, culture, literature, and music.
By the way, KGB spokesman Valery Nadtachaev frightened the attendees of the security roundtable of the Russia-Belarus Union. He said that the information war had not pacified. The new techniques became more subtle and refined. The new objective of the “journalists on Western payroll” is to discredit the unity of Belarus and Russia. “We are ready to face these attacks. They will not make it,” Nadtachaev reassured.
