这篇文章试图回答为什么白俄罗斯人民在1994年第一次投票给亚历山大卢卡申科。尽管对这一主题进行了大量研究，但仍不清楚选民如何能够在1994年所有六位总统候选人几乎相同的社会正义和福祉承诺之间进行导航和选择。本文探讨了白俄罗斯人民阵线（BFT）及其领导人Zianon Paz'niak在1991年至1994年独立初期撰写的文本，以及代表卢卡申科出现的文本。仔细分析的结果提供了一种解释，试图解码这些文本中所代表的“声音”（即帕兹尼亚克和卢卡申科的声音）。这些“声音”是一种意识形态的表达，因此引入了一种新的政治话语。
This article seeks to answer the question of why the people of Belarus voted Alexander Lukashenko into office for the first time in 1994. Although, there is a significant amount of research on the topic, it remains unclear how the electorate was able navigate and choose between the nearly identical promises of social justice and well-being made by all six candidates for the presidency in 1994. This article explores the texts written in the first years of the country’s independence, from 1991 to 1994, by the Belarusian Popular Front (BFT) and its leader Zianon Paz’niak, and those that appeared on behalf of Lukashenko. The result of close analysis offers an explanation that attempts to decode the “voices” represented in these texts (namely, those of Paz’niak and Lukashenko). These “voices” were an expression of ideologies, which consequently introduced a new political discourse.
