Belarusian Nobel Prize Laureates Met In Warsaw
Ales Belyatsky and Svetlana Alexievich

A historical photograph.

Belarusian Nobel laureates Svetlana Alexievich and Ales Beliatski met on July 14 in Warsaw.

“July 14. Warsaw. Le-shana haba’ bi Minsk!”—Belyatsky captioned the photo. “Next year in a free Minsk”—is how the phrase translates.

On October 8, 2015, it was reported that the Nobel Prize in Literature had been awarded to Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich.

Svetlana Alexievich’s works are effectively banned in Belarus.

Belarusian human rights activist and political prisoner Ales Beliatski was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 7, 2022. At the time, he was behind bars.
