Prigozhin's sledgehammer and Lukashenka's axe

Belarus has hosted the Mass Media Wood-Chopping Championship. "VoenTV" won, and instead of medals and a cup, the participants were awarded Lukashenka's axe and his work gloves. Reading this news, I did not immediately understand what there was more of here: a quasi-religious attitude towards Alyaksandr Lukashenka or admiration for the main "Wagnerite" Yevgeny Prigozhin. In any case, there is no reason to rejoice, and I don't even feel like ironizing: the symbolic consolidation of the cult of violence is a very, very alarming signal.
