Russians occupy almost all key positions in the Byelorussian Republic and as a consequence drain the Byelorussian economy of its wealth and resources. The industrial development of the BSSR serves primarily to foster the goals of Russian Imperial expansion and is accompanied by the steady channeling of Byelorussian manpower for the express purpose of building a Russian empire in Siberia and Soviet Central Asia. Coupled with the additional practices of genocide and deportation by the Soviet Russian regime in Byelorussia. the staggering loss of nine million Byelorussian lives has resulted. Moreover. the Soviet regime has been conducting an intensive and systematic "russification" of its captives. The net result has been that the Byelorussian language has been almost completely eliminated. not only from official use in administrative circles. but also in the higher educational institutions. in the secondary schools. and in a large number of elementary schools.
