Propagandist who banned books rented a cinema for her birthday to show her film
Tamara Vyatskaya was among those who banned journalist Zmitser Lukashuk's book.
Tamara Vyatskaya is the deputy chief editor of the state-owned "Radio-Minsk". Her daughter Ksenia, director of the "All Yours" farmers' market, revealed the propagandist's creative birthday celebration.
Ksenia Vyatskaya shared photos and videos from the family celebration on Threads: "How birthdays are celebrated in my family: Mom rented the "Peramoha" cinema to show her film."
Most likely, it's not about renting the entire cinema, but a gastroroom – which is designed for 12 seats. By the way, to rent such a room, it's enough to buy all 12 tickets – and then you can arrange for food from the cinema's cafe.
Judging by the published footage, Tamara Vyatskaya dedicated the film to the topic of religion. The film features priest Pavel Serdyuk (rector of the Church of St. Nicholas of Japan in Minsk). His wife Veronika Serdyuk, head of the "Matulya" center, is Vyatskaya's daughter.
Earlier, Tamara Vyatskaya was part of a commission that searched for "extremism" in books. In March 2021, she and seven other people, for example, evaluated the book "Belarusian National Idea" by journalist Zmitser Lukashuk (a copy of the expert commission's conclusion was obtained by "Euroradio").
Tamara Vyatskaya voted in favor of the work containing extremism.
"All my relatives live in Ukraine (she said so. — Euroradio's note), and I know this situation from the inside, and it is very ambiguous. And I don't understand why such a book is needed. I didn't find an answer in this book as to why it was written. It is destructive, it is harsh. Again, I am a woman, and maybe men like all this, but I don't like it. I will answer this way: for us Orthodox, everything is permitted, but not everything is beneficial. This book is not beneficial," she commented on her decision.

А ў калі кіно здымаем,
Толькі пра дабро там баім,
