But all the same, it is an interesting interview, [do read it](https://www.svaboda.org/a/30546522.html?ref=theparnassian.com). Alexievich makes some quite reasonable points: a weak state intends to save only itself, and she draws parallels with the Chernobyl catastrophe. She recalls, for example, how Western aid then settled with the officials and, instead of real help for the victims, was converted into the refurbishment of offices. Svetlana Alexandrovna urges us not to ignore the problem, to introduce a quarantine in Belarus, and to help the weak, the unprotected, the homeless animals. One cannot help respecting her for these words.
