I oppose the merger. The is little organic link between the two parties. The KPB of today was formed following a split from PKB. --Soman 15:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose. While I think this formed the current CPB that supports Lukashenko, I just see no proof yet. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 00:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Soman -- Magioladitis 03:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion needs sorting out

We presently have three en.wikipedia entries:

Communist Party of Belarus (CPB) - Камуністы́чная па́ртыя Белару́сі - Communist Party of Belarus is a pro-presidential party
Party of Communists of Belarus (PCB) - Партыя камуністаў Беларусі - PCB is led by Sergey Kalyakin and is considered to be "pro-Western".[citation needed]

The present entry on Communist Party of Belorussia says that it's a party that started in 1918 and it has no information about what happened to it after 1920.

What is the Belarusian (or Russian) name of Communist Party of Belorussia? Unless someone can give it to us, i do not see how we can keep it as a separate entry.
What happened to Communist Party of Belorussia during the 1980s/1990s/2000s ? What is its relation with CPB (pro-presidential) and PCB (pro-western) which already have their own entries?
Are people saying that Communist Party of Belorussia is a party that existed only during 1918-1920? so that the new parties are essentially unrelated to it (for someone to have been active in the 1918-1920 party e.g. at age 20, s/he would be aged about 90 when the new parties were created, so it's clear that not much link in terms of active individuals is possible across such a time span.

Anyway, see what people think of my corrections.
