Belarus To-do:

I oppose the merger. The is little organic link between the two parties. The KPB of today was formed following a split from PKB. --Soman 15:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I oppose. While I think this formed the current CPB that supports Lukashenko, I just see no proof yet. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 00:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Soman -- Magioladitis 03:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion needs sorting out

We presently have three en.wikipedia entries:

  • Communist Party of Belarus (CPB) - Камуністы́чная па́ртыя Белару́сі - Communist Party of Belarus is a pro-presidential party
  • Party of Communists of Belarus (PCB) - Партыя камуністаў Беларусі - PCB is led by Sergey Kalyakin and is considered to be "pro-Western".[citation needed]

The present entry on Communist Party of Belorussia says that it's a party that started in 1918 and it has no information about what happened to it after 1920.

  • What is the Belarusian (or Russian) name of Communist Party of Belorussia? Unless someone can give it to us, i do not see how we can keep it as a separate entry.
  • What happened to Communist Party of Belorussia during the 1980s/1990s/2000s ? What is its relation with CPB (pro-presidential) and PCB (pro-western) which already have their own entries?
  • Are people saying that Communist Party of Belorussia is a party that existed only during 1918-1920? so that the new parties are essentially unrelated to it (for someone to have been active in the 1918-1920 party e.g. at age 20, s/he would be aged about 90 when the new parties were created, so it's clear that not much link in terms of active individuals is possible across such a time span.

Anyway, see what people think of my corrections.
