"In fact, the team was not always focused on Babaryka. Not everything converged on him." Krautsou writes Babaryka out of the "Babarykans"?
"Babaryka with a team and Babaryka without a team — these are absolutely different things," says Ivan Krautsou, who now, it seems, remains a supporter only of Maryia Kalesnikava.
Viktar Babaryka
Former secretary of the Coordination Council and, perhaps, already former "Babarykan" Ivan Krautsou explained to Lizaveta Prakopchyk in a stream that not everything in the "Babarykans'" headquarters revolved around Babaryka himself.
"Viktar Dzmitryevich [Babaryka], in principle, is a smart guy. The problem is that the result he achieved in 2020 was a team effort. Everything that was – both signatures and the PR campaign… – all the people involved are well-known. There were top people from the event industry, top people from PR, myself, Anton [Radniankou], Kalesnikava included, Znak and so on.
A top team ensured a top result.
Organizing events, collecting signatures, all these bots-not-bots, "Honest people." The team is very important.
Therefore, of course, Babaryka with a team, Babaryka without a team — these are somewhat absolutely different things.
And in general, the team was not always focused on Babaryka. As soon as Babaryka was arrested, we ran a campaign for Tsikhanouskaya, now [we're running one for] Kalesnikava. The question is actually about the availability of opportunities and the task.
And not everything converged on Babaryka.
And so we have this way of thinking about leaders… We need to look at projects, through initiative. Honestly, I don't care at all if it's Pazniak, or Babaryka, or Kalesnikava, or whoever, if I really understand that there will be a result, if I really understand that there will be opportunities, I really see that people are thinking with their heads. For me, that's the most important thing. And accumulated image, surname, it doesn't matter at all. The system is important. The system of work, the values by which the work is organized. And most importantly — some measurable result, thought out with the head, you understand."
