Mikhalevich into anti-crisis management, Dabravolski into music
Euroradio has asked prominent politicians what they would do if they decided to give up politics.
Ales Mikhalevich, former deputy chairman of the Belarusian Popular Front (BPF), said he would like to work as an anti-crisis manager for ailing companies. “External anti-crisis management aimed at financial recovery or debt repayment is something that I would like to do. I have a certain experience in the area,” he told Euroradio.
Mikhalevich is an expert in anti-crisis management certified by the Ministry of Economy. However, he says that if the ministry offered him a job at one of Belarusian enterprises, he would not accept it.
“Many anti-crisis managers working in Belarus end up in jail,” he said. “More than 20 experts have been jailed within the last 12 months.”
Alyaksandr Dabravolski, a leader of the United Civic Party, says he is into computers and music, and would do something in these two areas.
“I am a radio engineer by education and I worked at an electronic plant for nine years. I am an amateur in music, but some of my friends completed the conservatoire. It depends on who you play with.”
Dabravolski says he would like to form a rock band.
Zmitser Dashkevich, leader of the Malady Front group, says he would work as a school teacher.
“I am about to complete the Vilnius Teachers Training Institute. I would like to teach Belarusian to children.”
Vintsuk Vyachorka, deputy chairman of the BPF and Belarusian language scholar, says he would work to expand the use of the Belarusian language.
“I have many skills and I am not afraid of challenges,” he said.
UCP leader Anatol Lyabedzka holds degrees in law and French language history.
“Maybe, I would start writing books. I could also start up a first-class law firm and offer defense services. I could also start up a business,” he said.
But he added that even if he quit politics, the authorities would not leave him alone and let him do business unimpeded.
