It is available for purchase on the popular "Knigavka" platform.

A new book by renowned American historian and journalist Yuri Felshtinsky, titled “Natalia Radina’s Belarus: A Journalist Against a Dictator,” has been published in Belarusian by the EkoPress publishing agency. It is available for purchase on the popular platform of the “Yanushkevich” publishing house “Knihavka” and at the “Knihavka” bookstore in Warsaw at ul. Kłopotowskiego 4.

The book was previously presented at the Historical Book Fair in Warsaw, which took place on November 29–30.

Previously, “Natalia Radina’s Belarus” was published in Russian and Ukrainian.

Yuri Felshtinsky—author of books such as *The FSB Is Blowing Up Russia*, *The Corporation: Russia and the KGB in the Era of President Putin*, *World War III: The Battle for Ukraine,” and others—has now turned his attention to the history of modern Belarus, as told through the life of one person: the well-known Belarusian journalist Natalya Radina.

“Natalia Radina is a witness to and participant in the events in Belarus over the past decades. In the book, together with her colleagues and like-minded individuals—Andrei Sannikov, Dmitry Bondarenko, and Alexandra Gerasimenya—she recounts how Belarusians have been selflessly fighting for their country’s freedom for decades. Through the story of one journalist, we see the fate of a people defending their independence.

Readers will be immersed in the life of this courageous woman, who rose from an ordinary journalist to become 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 continue to this day, learn about the chronicle of numerous political assassinations orchestrated by the Belarusian secret services on the orders of dictator Alexander Lukashenko, experience Radina’s daily life in prison alongside her, feel the joy of her release and the challenges of her unique escape from the KGB in Belarus, and witness vivid and unforgettable encounters with such well-known contemporaries as Stanislav Shushkevich, Lech Wałęsa, Andrzej Wajda, Boris Nemtsov, Leonid Nevzlin, Hillary Clinton, and others.

After reading this book, the reader will see that Belarus, although it was part of the Russian Empire and the USSR, is a distinct country with its own identity; that since the Middle Ages, Belarus has considered itself part of Europe and has looked to the West, not the East; that the future of Belarus, having freed itself from Lukashenko’s dictatorial regime, lies with the European Union—not with Russia, which has effectively occupied Belarus—and that its security can ultimately be ensured only through NATO membership.

But the main conclusion the reader can draw is that, despite the temporary setbacks and the bloodshed, arrests, and executions of recent decades, and the lack of real outside assistance, Belarusian democracy is alive, and Belarusians continue to fight for freedom”, writes Yuri Felshtinsky about his book.
