August 14, 2020 The country announced the official election results. It

also became known that the CEC of Belarus rejected the candidates'

complaints - they were filed by everyone except Lukashenka.

Tikhanovskaya, in a new video message, called on the mayors of all cities to hold peaceful mass meetings on August 15 and 16. She also announced the creation of a Coordinating Council to ensure the transfer of power.

The security forces appeared in front of the protesters near the Government House on the evening of August 14. The riot police lined up in a chain. When the column of demonstrators came closer, the security forces lowered their shields. Women from the crowd rushed to them,began to hug and kiss the soldiers, giving them flowers.

People misunderstood the OMON gesture, people thought the OMON surrendered. In fact, nothing of the kind happened. In my work, I depict the OMON shield as a gravestone and flowers as a funeral wreath. This job is the hope of victory, the hope of the fall of the dictatorship.
