A Russian with the nickname miroz.rus, signed as Mikhail Glukhov, addressed Belarusians on Threads with the question: "If tomorrow there were a referendum in the country on joining Russia, would you agree?" The answer came quickly: he received more than 1400 comments.

A few words about the author: the guy is 21 years old, he is from Cheboksary, but lives in St. Petersburg. And he demonstrates standard "vatnik" views — he complains about the collapse of the USSR, hates Ukrainians. "I've tried many things, both business and politics, but I haven't yet achieved what I want," he writes.

The author of the post tried to justify himself, saying, "I just asked," but this did not save him from a wave of indignation from Belarusians.

"The terrible dream of any Belarusian"

The most frequent answer is concise and categorical: "No" and "Never."

Many Belarusians elaborated on their thoughts — some emotionally, some more restrained:

"This will never happen! You have to be the last *** to ask such questions."

"To Europe — yes, to Russia — no."

"Don't provoke rudeness with your imperial habits."

"More than 90% of Belarusians (of any political views) are in solidarity on this issue: ABSOLUTELY NO. We are a sovereign state. A separate country."

"Under no circumstances! I agree to join even Africa, but not Russia."

"The terrible dream of any Belarusian," they write in the comments.

"From where did you even get the idea that Belarus or any other country wants to join your Rasha? Where did you dream that? We never wanted, don't want, and won't want to go there. Never come to Belarus. We sincerely hate people like you," writes one of the participants in the discussion, emphasizing that she tries to express herself "as culturally as possible."

"To go back to times without internet, travel, online card payments, without infrastructure for electric vehicles - no, thank you."

"And why do we need this? We are a separate state, with our own government, economy, rules. Why should we abandon all this?"

"I will never exchange my national Belarusian flag for a Russian one."

"The very discussion of the issue of destroying Belarus's state sovereignty is already a crime and should be punished as treason," another user states.

However, someone ironically noted that "Belarus's sovereignty is already shorter than Lukashenka's dog leash."

"Follow the Russian ship"

Most of the comments were much less restrained. Users massively sent the author of the post "after the Russian warship," advised him to "go f*** himself," and questioned whether he had "missed his pill intake."

"Everyone already knows that you have a hyperfixation on imperialism. Keep your wet dreams about Belarus joining to yourself."

"During an attempt to hold such a referendum, Russians will get beaten just like they got in Ukraine, only this time by Belarusians."

"First, you and people like you need to put your heads in order, then the state you are so... worried about. And a personal tip for you. Stop using the substances you are using now. The outcome for you could be very bad."

Such reactions collected dozens and hundreds of likes.

"Can Belarus join the Maldives?"

There was no shortage of irony. It was often the sarcastic comments that became the most popular. Some commentators jokingly suggested a "reverse referendum" — not about Belarus joining Russia, but about Russia joining Belarus:

"It's better if Russia becomes part of Belarus."

"First, return Smolensk to its native harbor."

"I propose a referendum on the Russian Federation joining the Mogilev region," one user wrote. Others continued:

"It will be Moscow region with district centers: St. Petersburg district, Rostov, and so on."

In response, others noted that Belarusians don't need such a headache:

"And why do we need another 46 poor Russian regions?"

"Do Belarusians need such happiness?"

"As a Belarusian, I am against Russia joining Belarus. We won't cope. But sending a 'strong manager' there - that can be considered."

Belarusians ironically offered alternatives — Poland, Lithuania, and even the Maldives:

"Can Belarus join the Maldives? We'll go there for weekends and drink potato smoothies with passion fruit."

"Why Russia? Why not Poland? The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth once existed."

"Belarus would rather join Poland than a state that endlessly loses all wars and is constantly being deceived. The Russian Federation with its wars constantly drags one into ruin and poverty."

To be friends - yes, to unite - no

Despite the harshness of many answers, there were also calmer comments in the discussion.

"This is the strength of Belarusians, under all circumstances we maintain independence, make friends, respect neighbors. The question of such a referendum will not arise, because there is no need."

"It's better to be friends, but separately," Belarusians write.

Fear of war

Some commentators openly say that they don't want to join Russia so as not to become cannon fodder.

"Why do you need another territory? First, sort yourselves out. We don't want to break our lives and the lives of our children for your ideas and ideals."

"Then they'll send us to war."

"Tomorrow a referendum, and the day after tomorrow where will all the men of Belarus be? No, thank you."

"We will not bury our children in the name of... what? Who? Moscow oligarchs? Over the past 30 years, the Russian Federation has had two Chechen wars, a war with Georgia, terrorist attacks across Russia. We don't want anything from anyone — and don't bother us."

At the same time, some users noted that even if such a referendum were to take place, its results would not reflect the real will of the people. According to these comments, the majority of Belarusians would be against it, but "they will draw the decision that the authorities need."

"Belarus", not "Belorussiya"

A separate topic was the name of the country. The author of the question used the word "Belorussiya" in his answers, and this caused many remarks.

"First learn to correctly spell the name of the country you want to annex," Belarusians indignantly say.

Isolated "yes" votes

Comments in support of unification also appeared, for example, "together we are stronger," but they were isolated and quickly lost in the flood of negative and critical remarks, such as "don't listen, these are bots," "Russians were not given the floor."
