This book examines the processes that resulted in this dual resolution in the context of the First World War and the subsequent Russian Revolutions. Lizaveta Kasmach scrutinizes a variety of factors that affected the formation of the Belarusian national idea, the role of its protagonists, their complex relationships with the Polish and the Lithuanian counterparts, the impact of the German policy, as well as the Russian imperial and later the Bolshevik governments'' attitude towards the Belarusian national awakening. Based on original archival material, the analysis convincingly demonstrates the divisions within the nationalist movement, both politically between the moderates and socialists, and geographically between German-occupied territory with Vilna as a center versus Russian-controlled territory around Minsk. Besides the case-study of Belarusian nation-building efforts, the book is a contribution to the study of the First World War in East Central Europe, approaching the war and its aftermath as a mobilizational moment in the region"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aHISTORY / Wars & Conflicts / World War I$2bisacsh 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / Eastern$2bisacsh 606 $aNationalism$zBelarus 607 $aBelarus$xPolitics and government$y1917-1945 607 $aBelarus$xHistory$y1917-1991 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aBelarus. 610 $aBorderlnds. 610 $aEastern Europe. 610 $aEmpire. 610 $aNation-Building. 610 $aNationalism. 610 $aWar. 615 7$aHISTORY / Wars & Conflicts / World War I. 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / Eastern. 615 0$aNationalism 700 $aKasmach$b Lizaveta$01430766 712 02$aOpening the Future$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a996556963303316 996 $aBelarusian Nation-Building in Times of War and Revolution$93570625 997 $aUNISA
