Lifenews to bookstore staff: Tell us that Alexievich’s books are not popular
Lifenews reporters arrived at the Central Bookshop in Minsk as soon as Belarusian Svetlana Alexievich and received the Nobel Prize. A Euroradio journalist met them at the administration office of the bookshop.
Lifenews reporter: I am trying to get oriented right now. I am going to look around first. I would like to take an interview from one of your employees so that…
Administrator: Unfortunately, there is no such an employee now. Both of them are on vacations.
Lifenews reporter: We would like to know how often people buy these books. To tell you the truth, it would be good to hear that they are not popular at all…
Aleskiyevich’s books are very popular, the administrator objected. The Lifenews reporter gave up and suggested ‘simply telling the truth’.
The Russian portal is publishing neutral articles about Svetlana Alexievich. However, some people are calling her ‘a traitor’ in their comments. This is the price the writer is paying for her anti-Putin position.
На заўвагу, што кнігі Алексіевіч даволі папулярныя, дзяўчына з Lifenews уключыла, як кажуць, заднюю перадачу і прапанавала “сказаць, як ёсць”.
Тым часам расійскі партал змяшчае пра Святлану Алексіевіч даволі нейтральныя артыкулы. Што праўда, у каментарах на пісьменніцу абрынуліся з крытыкайі называюць яе “здрадніцай”. Гэта плата за антыпуцінскую пазіцыю пісьменніцы.
