The book has already been presented at the Historical Book Fair in Warsaw, which took place on November 29-30.
Before "Natalia Radina's Belarus" appeared on Russian and Ukrainian.
Yuri Felshtinsky is the author of such books as "The FSB Blows Up Russia," "The Corporation: Russia and the KGB under President Putin," "World War III. Battle for Ukraine" and others - this time turned to the history of modern Belarus, described through the life of one person: the famous Belarusian journalist Natalia Radina.
"Natalia Radina is a witness and participant of the Belarusian events of recent decades. In the book together with her colleagues and like-minded people - Andrei Sannikov, Dmitry Bondarenko and Alexandra Gerasimeni - she tells how Belarusians have been selflessly fighting for the freedom of their country for decades. Through the fate of one journalist the fate of the people who defend their independence is traced.
The reader will plunge into the life of this courageous woman, who went from an ordinary journalist to the editor-in-chief of the leading Belarusian opposition website "Charter'97" (Charter97.org), and will witness the revolutionary events and protest movement that began in Belarus in 1995 and are still going on today, will get acquainted with the chronicle of numerous political murders organized by the Belarusian security services on the orders of dictator Alexander Lukashenko, will experience her prison days together with Radina, will feel the joys of her release and the complexities of a unique escape from the KGB from Belarus, will be an eyewitness to vivid and unforgettable meetings with such famous contemporaries as Stanislav Shushkevich, Lech Walesa, Andrzej Wajda, Boris Nemtsov, Leonid Nevzlin, Hillary Clinton and others.
Reading this book, the reader will see that Belarus, although it was a part of the Russian Empire and the USSR, is a separate and distinctive country; that since the Middle Ages Belarus has considered itself a part of Europe and oriented towards the West, not the East; that the future of Belarus, freed from the dictatorial regime of Lukashenko, is with the European Union, not with Russia, which has actually occupied Belarus, and whose security can ultimately be ensured only by NATO membership.
But the main conclusion that the reader can draw is that despite the temporary defeats and spilled blood, arrests and executions of the last decades, the lack of real help from outside, Belarusian democracy is alive, and Belarusians continue to fight for freedom", - writes Yuri Felshtinsky about his book.
