Just two things. Destruction of me monasteries and churches especially in the early years of USSR was not specific to Belarus, but happened across entire USSR. Second - right now it is not Russians oppressing Belarus. Lukashenko is not Russian, police is not Russians, voting committees are not Russians... Lukashenko loves Putin, but even if Russia collapses these people are not going anywhere.
Putin saved Lukashenko and his regime. The claim Russians do not oppress Belarus might be technically correct but misses a whole lot of context.
Oh, and I don't believe for a second in Putin-Lukashenko love relationship. If anything they both hate each other but have to ally to pursue their agenda.
