More most discomforting words from wiki:
“Lukashenko announced a new law in 2014 that will prohibit kolkhoz (=farm) workers, around 9% of the total work force, from leaving their jobs at will – a change of job and living location will require permission from governors. The law was compared with serfdom by Lukashenko himself. Similar regulations were introduced for the forestry industry in 2012.”
UPDATE: The tour guide said this was hooey, she said farm workers are absolutely free to leave at will. I tried to find it on Wikipedia View History but I lost patience.
