103. Thousand Years Unite Swedes And Belarusians Vilnia was the centre of old Belarusian culture. Its leader Maria Söderberg is a representative of Belarusian culture and problems in Sweden. http://www.vitryssland.nu/engordsp.html

Three stages of Belarusian-Swedish relations One thousand years of common history unite the Swedes and the Belarusians. However Belarus remains the most unknown country in Europe to Sweden. There are several reasons for that. The main reason is that there was not Belarus on the map of Europe in Early Modern Time. The country had no sovereignty and was the province of Russian Empire and then Soviet Union. Contacts between Belarus and Sweden have always been asymmetric. During the epoch of the Vikings (IX - XII centuries) as well as in Early Modern Time (XVII- b. XVIII centuries) the Swedes were active on the territory of Belarus. At the same time only some Belarusians managed to reach the shores of Sweden. Written by Andrej Kotliarchuk, Museum of Ethnography and Anthropology, Russian Academy of Sciences First Stage: the IX - XII centuries The Scandinavian arrival in Belarus concerns the IX-XII centuries. During this period the Vikings acquire control over the eastern trade routes, among which the route from Baltic's through the Belarusian rivers Dzvina (Duna in old Swedish) and Dniapro into the Black Sea and Byzantium was the most important. The Belarusian Slavs "Kryvichi" ("kryv" means "blood" in English) and "Drygavichi" ("drygva", means "marsh"), who lived in these lands, named new guests from Sweden "Rus'", having borrowed this name from the Finno-Ugric people (Rootsi). The Vikings were also known as "Variagi" (Varangians-merchants) and "Svei" (from Svealand). Around 980, two independent Scandinavian kingdoms appear on the territory of Belarus. These are Polatsak and Tur Duchies.

Russians in Belarus Country Population: (US Census Bureau 1998) 10,409,000 Russians: 1,375,000 ( 13.2%) Group Type: national minority Click here to view General Chronology Risk Assessment Russians of Belarus have no risks of rebellion and only minimal likelihood of protest. In fact, the group continues to be the advantaged minority. It is not discriminated against in any obvious way. The closeness of Russian and Belarusian culture and languages, along with the strong affinity and even identification which Belarusians hold for Russia and the former Soviet Union seem to diminish the likelihood of ethnic strife even further. Also weighing in against potential threats to Russians is the dependence of Belarus on the Russian Federation for energy and trade. The recent moves towards economic and monetary union with Russia will only increase this dependence. However, the potential exists for Belarusian nationalism to become heightened and for the position of Russians in Belarus to be threatened. Belarusian nationalism seems to have inspired movements pushing for use of the Belarusian language in addition to Russian. Except for some of its vocal advocates, however, this nationalism has not been aggressive in any way and few believe it will become aggressive due to what seems to be an indifference by many Belarusians about their own culture and language. On the other hand, the whimsical, personalistic, and highly repressive rule of the Belarussian President Lukaschenka has already generated a significant amount of criticism, especially concerning further integration between Russia and Belarus. Repeated acts of repression against demonstrators seem to be adding fuel to Belarussian nationalism, which may in the future lead to popular backlash against the Russian minority.

B ELARUSIAN "Lacinka" Guest Book L acinka" (sometimes "Lacinika" or (Belarusian) abeceda ) is the name of the Latin-script Belarusian writing. Although the first known appearance of a book in Latin (language) within the present Belarusian borders was supposedly the beginning of the 11th century, and Latin literacy was typical for an educated man there from the Middle Ages till the 19th century (see Nicolas Hussovianus ), writing in Belarus developed predominantly in the Cyrillic script until the late 16th century. Due to the domination of the Greek Orthodox tradition of Christianity in most of the country in the early Middle ages, the written standard of the archaic Belarusian (the official language of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania) remained strongly influenced by the sacred Church-Slavonic language - the language of the Bible and liturgy in the Slavonic Orthodox tradition. H owever, in the middle of the 16th century massive Reformation took place in Belarusian lands The Reformation, Counter-Reformation, and the expansion of Western style education seem to be among the major factors which led to the considerable "cleaning" of the archaic Belarusian written language from the Church-Slavonic features by the end of the 16th century. At the same time, this was the epoch when Belarusian texts begin increasingly be written in the Latin script. V isiting the National History Museum in Miensk, one may see

When it was understood that universal needs could be served with culturally diverse means , that morality consists in conforming to ethical rules of conduct but does not inhere in the rules themselves, we, AEGEE-Minsk, arrived at a conclusion that each European culture should be understood and appreciated in terms of itself and in interlink with Common European Identity (From Summer Arts Academy concept.) Project evaluation The project of Summer Arts Academy ’99 – “Carpe diem” was educational by its character. AEGEE-Minsk regarded education in its broadest sense as the process by which the culture of a sociocultural system is impressed or imposed upon the plastic, receptive student’s psychology. It is this process that makes continuity of culture possible. In what way did people get acquainted with Belarusian arts and culture? How did they develop sensitivity to art?

110. Series: "Architectural Monuments" Belarusian culture occupies a special place in the world cultural heritage since it managed to preserve and restore many of its invaluable pearls despite http://www.nbrb.by/Natiobank/NBRBCoins.eng/coll02.html

Belarusian architecture dates from the distant past. It is rich in different architectural styles and trends but it was influenced to the greatest extent by Russian architecture. This strong influence is explained by historical closeness of Belarus and Russia and tight interlace of many aspects of the two countries' life. In the 17th-18th centuries the baroque tendencies were developed in Belarusian architecture. Different Catholic orders were promoters of this style. The best baroque monuments on the territory of the Republic of Belarus are Jesuit Roman-Catholic Churches in Nesvizh (laid down in 1584, architect J.M. Bernardoni from Gomo) and Grodno (consecrated in 1667), Roman-Catholic Church of Carmelites in Glubokoye (1735), St. Sophia Cathedral (Sophiisky Sobor) in Polotsk (11th century, rebuilt in 1750). Belarusian culture occupies a special place in the world cultural heritage since it managed to preserve and restore many of its invaluable pearls despite wars, revolutions and social shocks.
