Home PolishRoots History Resources Songs Postcards Museums Databases ... US States Poles in Belarus: Revival of Heritage and Search for Ancestors Today's Republic of Belarus, which became independent after the fall of the USSR, is strongly connected with Poland both historically and culturally. For centuries Belarus was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and a portion of Belarus was part of Poland up until the late 1930's. According to the last poll held in 1989, there were 413,000 Poles in Belarus, but many question the objectivity of this poll, held while Belarus was still under the Communist regime, and believe that the actual number is much higher. It is significant to mention here that the number of Roman Catholics in Belarus is estimated to be 2.5 million. I always thought that revival of Polish genealogy in Belarus should be an integral part of the larger cause of restoring recognition of the Polish presence in the region. Since 1960 I have written extensively on the genealogy of famous Polish families, searching for the materials in the archives of Russia, Lithuania and Belarus. As a result of this work, I have published genealogical research findings on such families as Kosciusko, Mickiewicz, his close friend Domejko and others. I have also studied the life of the Polish freedom fighter Migurski, who fought against the Russian Empire in 1830-1831, and of Z. Minejko who fought in the Uprising of 1861, and who, by the way, was also a grandfather of the well-known Greek politician and one-time prime minister A. Papandrious.

Belarus History Belarus has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and the first recorded settlements date back to the 6th century AD. The princes of Kiev ruled Belarus until the invasion of the Mongols in 1240, when most of its towns were destroyed. The region came under the control of powerful Lithuanians and, in 1386, under the Lithuanian-Polish Jagiellonian Dynasty. For centuries, the Poles and the Muscovites struggled bitterly over Belarus. In 1772, Catherine the Great gained control over part of the country, and, by 1795, Russia ruled all of Belarus. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the country again became a European battleground. Napoleon passed through Belarusand fought therein 1812, and the Germans fought the Soviets on Belarusian territory in World War I. Although a Soviet Socialist Republic was proclaimed in January 1919, fighting with Poland continued until 1921. Belarus suffered heavy losses in World War II, when some 2.2 million inhabitants perished. The postwar period saw a significant rebirth especially in the economic sphere. On August 25, 1991, Belarus

BELARUS INFO ~ History ~ RUS / ENG ~ NOTES FROM THE HISTORY OF BELARUS ~ from ancient times to the present moment Contents: Introduction Primordial Belarus - from Forest Tribes to the Decline of Polatsk The Development and Flourishing of Great Lithuania Belarus after Vitaut: Its Golden Age and Decline Introduction The Republic of Belarus is one of what is called for convenience the former Soviet republics. This country is relatively new to most of the world, and people in the West as a rule only know what rare comments in modern history textbooks can tell them. These comments are mostly related to the years after the 1917 revolution in Russia. However, the independence of Belarus is not occassional and even not the first in its history. Belarus has its own language, culture, heritage and, of course, history, as does any other country of the world. The reason why Belarus is still generally unknown to the world is that most of its historical facts were hidden or artificially assimilated with Russian and Soviet histories. The current situation in Belarus does not encourage a lot of information about the republic to be disseminated. I myself have learned most of the facts a relatively short time ago, when true historic evidence of Belarus past became available. I hope that these notes will be helpful for all interested people who are eager to find out more about the history of this old and original country. Primordial Belarus - From Forest Tribes to the Decline of Polatsk The history of the Belarusian people and land can hardly have a definite origin, since the territories between the rivers Dnieper, Pripyat, Dvina, and Bug were inhabited from time immemorial. However, the first evidence of Slavic tribes living there date back to the very first centuries AD. These tribes lived in small communities located in forests or near rivers and lakes.

History Asia History Belarus History Belarus Jan Zaprudnik July 1993 Paperback From Library Journal Belarus (formerly Belorussia) is the western-most republic in the Commonwealth of Independent States, with stronger historical ties to Europe than to Moscow, according to this new survey. It has a long history of outside government, from Poland and Lithuania, and a tradition of ethnic coexistence; these traits are reemerging after the breakup of the USSR. Zaprudnik, formerly an analyst at Radio Liberty, devotes four chapters of his survey to the history of Belarus (to 1985) and four to the conditions and prospects of the new state, covering the national and language revival, politics, economics, and foreign relations. Throughout, he is harshly critical of the Soviet government and its "ethnocidal" policies in Belarus. His bibliography is replete with specialized, non-English, sources. Not much is available in...
