August-September 2023?\"<\/a>, we will attempt to analyze what was published on this social network in October 2023.\n\n<hr \/>\n\nIn terms of mentions, three main sources showed growth compared to previous months:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22222\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_mentions.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"442\" height=\"122\" \/>\n\nThe total number of mentions for the month increased to 17,570 in October. In August, there were 15,264, and in September 2023, there were 13,823. However, the engagement of these mentions on the topic of \"elections\" decreased to 2.5 million in October 2023 compared to 2.8 million in August 2023.\n\nWhat was happening on Facebook?\n\nThe number of posts related to the topic of \"elections\" increased to 135 in October. There were 83 posts in August and 63 posts in September. The number of interactions (likes, comments, shares) remains minimal. Posts made in October gathered only 1,357 interactions. Such results can be explained by the ongoing repression of the current Belarusian regime against the display of basic social empathy by Belarusian internet users on social media. As with any restrictive actions, this also affects publications made by Belarusian media controlled by the authorities.\n\nPosts that gathered the most interactions:\n<table style=\"height: 233px;\" width=\"570\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22224\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_t1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"183\" height=\"286\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22225\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_t2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"263\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22226\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_t3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"285\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nAmong the posts that gathered fewer interactions, an interesting post from the Belarus 24 channel:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22227\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_t6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"263\" height=\"353\" \/>\n\nSuch eloquent wording - \"The wind of change is already wandering the streets of Poland.\"\n\nPublications about the elections were on 31 pages related to Belarus. The most publications on the election topic were on the page of the private-state TV Channel ONT - 31.\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22235\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_ont_lu_torgi.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"273\" height=\"368\" \/>\nNB: Number of interactions - 3 (three)! As political analysts commented on such statements: <a href=\"https:\/\/pozirk.online\/ru\/longreads\/10218\">Lukashenko still hopes for dialogue with the West. But \u2014 on his terms<\/a>.\n\nMost of the disinformation was published on the pages of <strong>ATN: News of Belarus and the World<\/strong>, <strong>Belarus 1, TV Channel ONT<\/strong>. Just look at the headlines of the posts.\n\nATN: News of Belarus and the World:\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22229\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_atn-2048x241.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"241\" \/>\n\nThe two most \"juicy\" posts:\n<table style=\"height: 390px;\" width=\"573\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22232\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_atn_documents.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1023\" height=\"1557\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22233\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_atn_grains.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1017\" height=\"1173\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nBelarus 1:\n<img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22230\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_belarus1-2048x147.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"147\" \/>\n\nIt's worth noting that these are pages representing the state television of the Republic of Belarus. It can be confidently said that these TV channels are also sources of unreliable information for the Belarusian television audience.\n\nSo what about the elections planned by the Belarusian authorities in 2024?\n\nThe most precise answer, without any reaction from more than 100,000 who like this page:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22236\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_belarus24_elections.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"300\" \/>\n\nIn early October, there were several publications mentioning Natalia Kochanova:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22237\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_kochanova.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"405\" height=\"443\" \/>\n\nThis served as the reason for several publications, both in media with state ownership and independent ones.\n\nAlso, about the upcoming Belarusian \"elections\", Oleg Gaidukevich, representing the registered(!) Liberal Democratic Party of Belarus, speculated:\n<img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-22238\" src=\"https:\/\/infopolicy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BY_elections_oct2023_gaidukevich_alfa.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"366\" height=\"360\" \/>\n\nConclusions can be drawn:\n\nMost of the publications about the elections in October 2023 on Belarusian pages on Facebook were related to the past elections in Poland. In many publications of state media, disinformation was recorded. A couple of publications about the elections in Argentina and possible elections in Ukraine.\n\nThe elections in Belarus in 2024 have not yet become the main topic, primarily in pro-government media.\n\n<i>Publication prepared by the Baltic Internet Policy Initiative<\/i>","_eng_post_name":"","_eng_post_excerpt":"","_eng_post_title":"What Belarusians could discuss about the elections on Facebook in October 2023","_bel_post_content":"","_bel_post_name":"","_bel_post_excerpt":"","_bel_post_title":"","_lt_post_content":"","_lt_post_name":"","_lt_post_excerpt":"","_lt_post_title":"","edit_language":"eng","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factcheck.lt\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
