The Belarusian language is under attack
The Belarusian language and its cultural heritage are under severe attack by the current Belarusian government, led by President Alexander Lukashenko. This repression includes the closure of bookstores, arrests of publishers, and confiscation of books deemed 'extremist.' Historically, Belarus has faced similar cultural suppression under Soviet rule. The recent resurgence of the Belarusian language is seen as a form of protest against Russian aggression and the Lukashenko regime. The international community is urged to recognize and respond to this cultural genocide.
We cannot talk to our mothers because of Russian propaganda
The article discusses the impact of Russian propaganda on personal relationships, particularly between the author and their mother, amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. It highlights the disinformation spread by Russian and Belarusian state media, the challenges faced by independent journalists, and the emotional toll on those trying to convey the truth. The author calls for support for Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Russian journalists and emphasizes the importance of breaking the silence about the war.
‘We have one enemy’: The Belarusians who oppose the Ukraine war
Belarusians who fled political repression in their home country and settled in Ukraine are now displaced again due to the Russian invasion. Many have joined anti-war protests and volunteer efforts in Poland, while others have taken up arms to defend Ukraine. Organizations like the Belarus Solidarity Foundation are providing humanitarian aid and support for Belarusian volunteers. The Belarusian regime, led by Aleksandr Lukashenko, faces criticism for its alliance with Russia, and there are fears that a prolonged conflict could further entrench Russian influence in Belarus. Despite facing anti-Belarusian sentiment, many Belarusians remain resolute in their opposition to the war and their support for Ukraine.
