Russia must take a more proactive stance to prevent a colour revolution in Belarus.

Axar.az reports that the statement came from the chairman of the Russian Communist Party Gennady Zyuganov.

"I urge Russia to take all necessary measures to maintain security and stability in brotherly Belarus. The situation in Belarus will be resolved in the next two or three days. We must understand that we are talking not only about the presidential election but also about the attempt at a colour revolution," he said.
