The question that garnered the most likes (over 8200) was:

On Instagram, people respond:

— Flashlights for everyone!

— In our time, there were no streetlights, and we walked home from the second shift! Mom met us near the entrance, then — "oh, I'm tired, go home yourself" — and we walked... Not a single child of the 90s was stolen!!!

But such recommendations did not gather likes.

However, a comment garnered almost 4500 likes:

«I just don't understand why the nuclear power plant was built. And for whom».

Maladziečna: «Unearthly darkness in the City of the Sun»

«In the City of the Sun, Maladziečna, today at 7 PM, there was unearthly darkness. It was difficult to drive a car, pedestrians were not visible, streetlights were not on anywhere, and this was in the city center». 241 likes.

Someone confirms his words: «Oh, Maladziečna is also in darkness. It's a bit scary to walk».

«My godmother from Salihorsk described this morning like this: the only lighting we had was the full moon», — another shares. 221 likes.

Heating reduced, lights turned off... Bravo!

«Heating reduced, lights turned off... Bravo. This is just the beginning; in half a year, they'll count cubic meters of air, and you'll have to pay extra», — another commentator ironizes.

«Turn off the lights... give women a shovel for beauty, turn down the temperature in the radiator... brilliant... managerial decisions». 473 likes.

Sign of trouble

«It's horrible, you can't even see the markings, it's scary to drive, people are invisible, what are they waiting for — trouble ((((" 1749 likes.

The paths are not cleared, elderly people cannot pass, black ice, which is now also invisible.

«Horror... how many people, God forbid, might suffer».

«Traumatologists! Roll up your sleeves! You'll have more work!!! In such black ice without lighting, people will fall!»

Some even dare to ask

«Are the lights also off in Drazdy?»

«Belarus will choose a new leader soon!»

«Maybe someone can tell the officials when the sun sets and rises?»

«And let's pay taxes not 13%, but 6%».

«We should introduce a curfew — and then we won't have to turn on the streetlights at all».

«Yesterday I was at the Trading House on Nyamiha. Practically alone! Such a large area of premises is lit! But there are no people! You're not saving money in the right place, friends!»

«Belarus is getting poorer»

«Belarus is getting poorer».

«Turn on our lights!! It's dangerous!! The main thing is people's health and safety».

«It's very sad, we live in a modern society, but it feels like the Middle Ages... Dear bosses, just look out the window and make the right decision, without extremes. I love my Minsk and it's a pity that it has lost all its beauty».

«They never turned on the lights in our agrotown»

The village has been living without light for a long time:

«In our agrotown (formerly a village), there have been no streetlights for exactly 45 years, and we walk to school, and it's normal. You just got too comfortable in the capital».

«In villages, people always live like this, and children walk to school in the dark, and bears walk around too, so city dwellers — you still have no right to complain».

And yet they don't lose their humor: «It will get light early soon, hang in there, summer is coming soon».

    Я по милой земле прошагаю,
    Потеряв свой последний рассудок,
    И конечно еще прочитаю
    Эту надпись в сиреневой мгле,

    Что так любезно была прогрета
    На замороженном троллейбусном стекле:
    "Крепитесь, люди, скоро лето!"
    И мне в который раз покажется теплей.

    Митяев .
