Belarus, Russia introduce equal electoral rights for their citizens

The protocol provides for the possibility, on a reciprocal basis, for Belarusian and Russian citizens permanently residing in the territory of the other state to participate in local elections - to vote and be elected to local self-government bodies.

You can be a permanent resident of multiple countries, but e.g. Canada will require you to have lived in Canada for 730 days in the last 5 years to keep your status of a permanent citizen.
To be registered as permanently living somewhere, you have to pay the local taxes, and prove that you have a residence there, as well as other proofs probably.
Seems like an interesting step to take.

      Lukashenko never allow complette unification, only if he becomes the President. He is good, but a little bit too smart for complete unification. :) (No offense intended.)

        I’ve heard that Lukashenko is thought to be a crypto-communist type? I’m clueless, so if you have any reading material about Lukashenko could you post it here?

          I don’t think he’s ideologically communist, but i think like many older people in Belarus and Russia he has a certain nostalgia for the Soviet times and recognizes that many things were actually really good about the socialist system. More than anything else i think he’s a patriot, which in his view aligns with pro-Soviet views.
