Throughout the centuries, the various rulers of Belarus have intentionally silenced its national history to distance Belarus from its European context. This historical book aims to demonstrate that Russian assimilation policies and the labeling of Belarus as ?Russia?s little brother? have been elements of a deliberate imperialistic policy, as Belarus shares most of its history with Poland and Lithuania. The Russian invasion of Ukraine dominated international headlines in 2022. Belarus officially supported Russia in the war, yet hundreds of Belarusian volunteers enlisted in the Ukrainian army. Meanwhile, the Belarusian opposition organized itself in Poland and Lithuania, and a concrete wall emerged along the border with Belarus. Is Belarus destined to remain isolated from Europe and an extension of Russian geopolitics, or can it restore its historical connections to Poland and Lithuania? How have Belarusians defined their identity, and how have their international relations evolved over the centuries? Toni Stenström provides a new and unique insight into one of Europe?s most unknown countries. 330 1 $a?The publication of this history is a significant event, as Belarusians have only received occasional attention alongside the Ukrainians.? Harri Tiido, Estonian journalist and former diplomat 330 1 $a?Stenström is passionately interested in his subject. He has gathered unique source material from Belarusian archives.? Salla Nazarenko, Finnish journalist and author. 330 1 $a?The author's fundamental strength lies in his familiarity with Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, and Poland and his language skills. These abilities have allowed him to compensate for the limited availability of English-language source material. The book's title correctly indicates that we are talking about silenced history.?
