New Belarus for new Russia: past, present, future

At the moment of disintegration of the Soviet Union Belarus of the time didnâ™t in any way stand out for Russia from the general circle of the states of the postSoviet space. Democratic movement there was rather moderated (and had basically character of ecological reaction to Chernobyl accident), antisovietism and anticommunism were limited to a narrow layer of intelligence and separate representatives of culture. </p>
