Alexandra Sitnikova is declared the winner of the 10-day bout. A report from a 10-day round of political Thai boxing.
Alexandra Sitnikova appears in the political ring.
'24-year-old Alexandra Sitnikova, multiple champion in Thai boxing and kickboxing, three-time European medalist in Thai boxing, spent 10 days behind bars for posting on Instagram. And she told how it was. " (26.10.2020. Author: Irina Bobrova. Kickboxer Sitnikova described the nightmare of being imprisoned in a Belarusian pre-trial detention center." For offense they could have taken mattresses from the entire cell"). (https://www.mk.ru/politics/2020/10/26/kikboksersha-sitnikova-opisala-koshmar-zaklyucheniya-v-belorusskom-sizo.html).
The fight begins imperceptibly.
Nothing foreshadows a tense confrontation.
Alexandra Sitnikova posted a photograph on Instagram two months ago. Sitnikova stands on the street of Minsk, holding a poster: 'No to torture, no to arrests, no to repressions'.
It turns out that this photograph is the evidence of Sitnikova's participation in an unauthorized collective action, which entails an administrative arrest. There is, also, testimony from a certain riot police officer ... Sitnikova categorically stated that she had not seen him, and that she did not participate in any unauthorized collective action ...
The battle begins unfavorably for Sitnikova.
She was taken by surprise. When she was leaving place of work after working day - she is an engineer by education - she was invited to go to the local police department.
Sitnikova's vacation was just beginning ... Probably, Sitnikova had the opportunity to go out through another exit and to spend the night in house of any acquaintances, spend her vacation in some safe environment (it is unlikely that the law enforcement apparatus would work for Sitnikova day after day ...).
Sitnikova demonstrates gullibility towards the persons who detain her. Did they have formal grounds and organizational capabilities to detain Sitnikova? She was shown "a ksivu" [Identity document] ...
Sitnikova demonstrates a lack of foresight and a gullibility. She is detained and put in a so-called glass.
Gradually, Sitnikova's resistance in the 10-day round of political Thai boxing is increasing.
The first - small, but significant - the victory of Alexandra Sitnikova is: 'I did not give up my opinion. I said at the trial that I am against violence, brutal detentions and arrests. "
She adapts to life in an unheated cell and to the lack of hot water.
Sitnikova is gradually beginning to win. She exchanges information with her cellmates - a psychologist and an expert on women's rights protection. Then she listens to the seminars of a philosopher (a woman). 'Specialists from different fields gathered in Zhodino [pre-trial detention center]. Specialists, each, one by one, gave lectures.'
Sitnikova, in addition, read 4 books in 10 days. '... I read four books and fulfilled the minimum plan.'
Someone from employees the penitentiary institution asked Sitnikova to explain "what is the difference between Thai boxing and Muay Thai, where the interested people can watch my fights." Yes, it is interesting...
Sitnikova's time in the cell came to an end ...
"... I was surprised and pleased that so many people were worried about me."
The interview contains an attractive photo of Alexandra Sitnikova.
Beauty contests are peculiar events. Much depends on the support of influential people.
But, nevertheless, Alexandra Sitnikova, with such an appearance, can think on the title of beauty queen.
The beauty queen would be useful for the Belarusian people and his leaders ...
Sitnikova gave an interview to one of the Moscow newspapers ...
This is the most powerful finishing blow in a 10-day round of Political Thai boxing!
This is not a knockout, but a knockdown. The adversary - a dictatorial regime, who is in opposition to the Belarusian people, - is shocked, although this regime is trying to continue resistance.
Nevertheless, the 10-day standoff is over, the gong sounds.
The winner of the 10-day bout is Alexandra Sitnikova !
