>>20230555To put it simply, we are not particularly proud of anything. We try to live this life, and often try to make it better, but rarely anything comes of it.
1. What we are really proud of is our non-acceptance of nationalism. You could object by referring to the protests of 2020, but believe me, more than 80% of the people who were waving white-red-white flags actually just wanted changes (Lukashenko has already really stayed too long, people just want another person as president, so that at least some some changes).
2. The vast majority of us don’t care about our culture. Not in the sense that we don’t love our culture, no, it’s not, we really love our writers, musicians, actors and language. We just are extremely pragmatic, and we think that there is no point in learning a language that is not spoken even in the villages. If you show interest in our language and try to teach it some lessons(just to know the most common phrases), then this will immediately give you +50 in a relationship with any Belarusian.
3. If you want to make a Belarusian an enemy, then insult the Red Army soldiers who fought the nazis or start justifying the collaborators. Believe me, a person may not show it outwardly, but inside he will hate you. Respect the heroes of the Red Army and the sacrifices made to defeat Nazism. By the way, you, as a person from post-Soviet country, in our opinion, should do this in fact.
That's all I immediately thought, maybe you need something specific?
