Nothing to Regret Sakrat Yanovich In Nothing to Regret Sakrat Yanovich reflects on his past. At times it is easier to lay bare one's heart before a stranger than tell loved ones about a small incident. Sakrat Yanovich had courage (which is rare) to tell the world about his life, 50 years of creative work. Although he may not be happy with all he did, he does not blame himself and does not regret about his life. Every one of us lived in a certain epoch, went through certain events and changes, but it is essential to be yourself, not someone else. Many of those who read Sakrat's confession – a good word to describe his book – will think how they would act in his place under the same circumstances. But one cannot be in his shoes either now or then. Everyone has his or her own destiny. What is important is that a person should be able to look back at his or her life and say, "Nothing to regret." Only a happy person, the one who has accomplished his mission, can say so.

Miniatures are one of the hallmarks of Sokrat Janowicz's work. These short texts, even though written in prose, because of their lyricism, emotionality and the extraordinary language harmony are on the border of poetry. In a condensed form, the writer talks about the vanishing world of the Belarussian countryside, spiritual motherland, loss and duty of remembrance, using the speech which he calls his religion. Thus he enchants them, as ... More »
The Domestic Century is a book of reflections and a timeline. Sakrat Yanovich, as he himself admitted, writes carefully polishing every word and every sentence to make sure that even a short expression carries a full spectrum of images, feelings and ideas. He does not waste words or create extensive and long descriptions of some occurrences. He uses few, carefully selected and polished words to fully express what is on his mind, but h... More »
Under the Eagle and Chaser Symbols is a research paper. Sakrat Yanovich stresses that Belarusian culture emerged in the Grand Duchy of Litva and shaped later in Rzeczpospolita. He questions the assertion that the Belarusian people are a small brother in the Slavic community. Russia and Russian culture had little influence on the formation of the ethnos and culture of the Belarusians. The ethnos shaped under the influence of Polish and E... More »
Almost everyone writes diaries. Everyone at least once in his or her life takes note of his thoughts, feelings and reflections. Girls especially like to write down and share their secrets. The “kids’ fun” usually passes together with childhood and adolescence. Sakrat Yanovich’s diaries are a timeline of events, a timeline of life seen through the prism of the author’s outlook. The author took down his observations, reflections, compar... More »
Як толькі перастаў я поўзаць малечаю па хаце i пачаў хадзіць, памятаю акно. Яно вабіла мяне святлом i таемнымі гукамі. Даставаўся я да яго з бядою, але неадступна. Ужо прадчуваў i нават разумеў, што свет не канчаецца ў сенях, i аднекуль заходзяць да нас людзі, цёткі з дарункамі цукеркаў. Мне вельмі хацелася ўбачыць — менавіта — адкуль яны i як; a яшчэ, якія ў ix хаты, бо чуў, што таксама маюць свае... Акно снілася. Тады я вылятаў цераз ... More »

Я свечкі запаліў, у пакоі цішыня велікодная. Бачу Бацьку... Крынкі халаднаногія! Іду ў даліну пачатку свайго — готыка дзяцінства на небакраі. На вашых выганах бесклапотнасці і ў вішнях радасці рэха загуляла са мною ў схованкі. Чырванею, засаромлены сталасцю. Крынкі вячэрнезвонныя! Кіра-пані хараством візантыйскім сваім не асудзіла мяне на будзённасць. More »
