Dear Reader, Ever since the birth of the first pages about Belarusian Literature in 1995-1996, the number of such pages has grown significantly. And so in 1999 we have faced a necessity of creating this portal page that would list the WWW resources on the Belarusian Literature. Below are the links to some of our reviews, on-line archives and other Internet resources related to the Belarusian Literature. Some of the pages are written in Cyrillic encoding. December 3, 2007 is a Centennial Anniversary of Belarusian poet and Diaspora leader Ryhor Krushyna. We have created a page about Ryhor Krushyna based on materials provided to us by his son Ihar Kazak. |
