Yuri Felshtinsky's new book will be presented on January 16.
On January 16, Friday, at 18:00 at the Andrzej Wajda Center (Al. Ujazdowskie 20) in Warsaw the presentation of a new book by the famous American historian and publicist Yuri Felshtinsky "Natallia Radzina's Belarus: Journalist vs. Dictator" will take place. Versions of the book in Belarusian, Ukrainian and Russian languages will be presented.
The author of the book Yuri Felshtinsky and the main character - Natallia Radzina, Belarusian journalist, editor-in-chief of the website "Charter'97" will take part in the presentation. The event will be moderated by priest Vyacheslav Borok. Guests will be able to ask questions and communicate with the participants of the meeting.
Yuri Felshtinsky is the author of the famous books "FSB blows up Russia", "Corporation: Russia and the KGB in the time of President Putin", "The Third World. Battle for Ukraine".
The book "Natallia Radzina's Belarus: Journalist vs. Dictator" is the history of modern Belarus described through the life of one person: the Belarusian journalist and politician Natallia Radzina, editor-in-chief of the leading Belarusian opposition website "Charter'97" (Charter97.org).
Reading this book, the reader will witness the revolutionary events and protest movement that began in Belarus in 1995 and have not faded to this day, will get acquainted with the chronicle of numerous political murders organized by the Belarusian security services on the orders of dictator Lukashenko, together with Radzina will plunge into her prison life, feel the joys of her release and the difficulties of her unique escape from the KGB in Belarus, will be an eyewitness of vivid and unforgettable meetings with such famous contemporaries as Stanislav Shushkevich, Lech Walesa, Andrzej Wajda, Boris Nemtsov, Leonid Nevzlin, Hillary Clinton and others.
The reader will see that Belarus, although part of the Russian Empire and the USSR, is a separate and distinctive country; that since the Middle Ages Belarus has considered itself part of Europe and oriented towards the West, not the East; that the future of Belarus, freed from Lukashenko's dictatorial regime, 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 the reader can draw is that despite temporary defeats and bloodshed, arrests and executions over the past decades, and the lack of real help from outside, Belarusian democracy is alive, and Belarusians continue to fight for freedom.
The book will be of interest not only to historians, journalists and political scientists studying Belarus, but also to a wide range of readers
