Belarusians strip down for Lukashenka (video)

RFE/RL

In a speech at the All-Belarusian People's Assembly (which took place in Minsk on June 22-23), Belarus president Alexander Lukashenka outlined the country's socio-economic development for the next five years, and advised (somewhat puzzlingly) that it was time for Belarusians to "strip down and start working".

Many users in cyberspace took Lukashenka's advice literally, posting nude or half-nude photos of themselves at the workplace.
