- 1.25, Feduta. There was a successful transformation, not of the regime, but at lest a rotation, in Egypt. I mean the case of Anwar Sadat. Full stop, I suggest not to discuss the name of Anwar Sadat. So, everybody is using Wikipedia, anybody can take a look what happened there. And this is in my view the only scenario which can be realized (Sadat assassination footage follows in the ONT report).
- 2.38, Feduta continues after Zenkovich asks/wonders, in Belorussian, about loyalties beyond those on the call, and what do we do next: so , after it happened, as strange (as it may be), the only obvious scenario is GKChP (State Emergency Committee, well-known acronym for anti-Gorbachen coup in the USSR, 1991). For such and such categories/groups of people we call them to remain in place and continue to work, (and) such and such people we ask to arrive to such and such place, within such and such timeframe, otherwise it is declared that you are outside the law for the attempt of state coup and usurpation of power in 2020. Zenkovich: their loyalty will be assured. Feduta: Yes, if their loyalty has not been assured before. So, not more then 6 hours is given to appear/show up. And the issue is decided extremely simply - people are faced with a choice, either or (или-или, Rus.).

- Another confirmation that in Belarus the coup d'etat scenario was prepared by the special services of foreign states. Evidence of this was provided by the ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Semyon Semenchenko, whose trial is taking place in Kiev. He said that activists from the "Avtukhovich group" had been trained in Ukraine, where the ATO participants "shared their experience with them." All this happened on behalf of the Chief Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
