Being a Belarusian in Belarus is difficult and sometimes impossible. It is tiring, therefore more and more often the most convinced, the most genuine, the most talented Belarusians move abroad – to build their own Belarus there.

Another choral conductor has been detained in Belarus. Their being in the crosshairs might be related to the activity of the so-called ‘flying choirs’ that perform patriotic songs in public places and bedroom neighbourhoods to show support for Belarusians.

Last weekend Minsk hosted Mova Fest, an event encouraging Belarusians to speak their native language.
