The active repressive apparatus in Belarus after February 1, 2021 decreased by 2 times. A continuation of a hypothetical journalistic investigation.
According to our hypothesis, from approximately August 9, 2020 to December 20, 2020, one hundred thousand representatives of the regime took part in the repressions.
The daily costs for each participant of repressions were $ 83.
Accordingly, eight hundred and thirty million dollars were spent in one hundred days of protests.
How much in 130 days?
From August 9, 2020 to December 20, 2020 - for 130 days - 1 079 000 000 (one billion seventy nine million) US dollars were spent.
Surprisingly, on December 21, 2020, information comes that the Lukashenka regime is receiving another loan in the amount of one billion dollars.
April 7, 2021 at 09:30 TUT.BY: 'The international reserve assets of Belarus as of April 1, 2021, according to preliminary data, amounted to $ 6.940 billion (equivalent), having decreased in March by $ 174.5 million (by 2.5% ) after being cut by $ 88.9 million in February. " (https://news.tut.by/economics/725493.html?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop)
Moving on to the approximate (rounded) values (numbers). We divide (175 plus 88) by 60. Approximately we get 4.383. That is, we receive expenses in the amount of USD 4.4 million per day.
Then we divide 4,400,000 by $ 83. It is equal to 53,012 (people).
So, in the course of a hypothetical investigation, it can be stated that the number of the repressive apparatus (which has a special pay) has halved after February 1, 2021 - from 100 thousand to 50 thousand people.
It means that the number of those who receive special payments has halved. The rest receive ordinary, non-increased wages.
Note that on February 11-12, 2021, an event was held under the name "VI All-Belarusian People's Assembly". It is possible that this event was considered, evaluated as a significant chronological point in the planning and financing of repressive measures.
