Belarus: A Perpetual Borderland (Russian History and Culture) (repost)

Andrew Savchenko, "Belarus: A Perpetual Borderland (Russian History and Culture)"
Publisher: Brill Academic Pub | ISBN: 9004174486 | 2009 | PDF | 239 pages | 3.6 MB

Belarus is known as “the last dictatorship of Europe”, yet its president enjoys public support. Its economy remains largely Soviet, yet exhibits high growth rates. Belarus styles itself as a European country yet clings to Russia as the only ally. The book explains these paradoxes by delving into history of Belarusian national institutions, including civil society, and the state.
The book starts with an analysis of Belarusian national development from the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to the short-lived Belarusian People’s Republic of 1918.
