Alexey Avdonin: leaders of protest opinions are interested in manipulating public consciousness

19.07.2020. Leaders of protest opinions are interested in manipulating public consciousness. This opinion was expressed by Alexei Avdonin, an analyst at the Belarusian Institute for Strategic Studies (BISS), on the ONT television program on ONT. "In reality, protest moods and protest consciousness are formed over a long time due to effective information and psychological impact through various channels. Now these are Telegram channels, social networks, and publics that distort consciousness, primarily among young people or, conditionally speaking, dissatisfied people. They warm up their feelings, form emotions ", - said Alexey Avdonin.

According to him, the slogans that go through such Telegram channels are aimed at creating a certain sense of the rapid changes that this or that velvet revolution can give. "In reality, the leaders who form an opinion are primarily interested in simple manipulation and the formation of mass protests," said the BISS analyst.
