The Belarus Liberation Union by Syarhey Yorsh Unlike in neighboring countries, anti-Soviet resistance was an untapped subject in the Belarusian historiography. The Belarus Liberation Union was a group formed of young patriots ready to sacrifice themselves for independence of Belarus. For quite a long time, nobody knew about the organization, except for its members who went through Stalin's labor camps. Information about the group has been held tightly at KGB archives. When Belarus regained independence in 1991, many of the former "liberation fighters" began to talk. They dispelled the myth about the Belarusians' full support for the Soviet authorities. The adoption of traditional national symbols by the government inspired hope for exoneration and due respect for fighters against Stalinism. But the situation has not changed and the archive documents are still kept secret. Syarhey Yorsh based his book on accounts by members of the organization and the few documents leaked from the KGB archive.

BNP's Comeback Historians working on subjects that were banned in the Soviet Union have had great difficulty accessing original documents still kept in secret archives. A few documents were published in Soviet periodicals but they were interpreted in a biased way and used for propaganda. Anti-Soviet resistance in Belarus also was a banned topic in the Soviet Union. The Belarusian Independence Party (BNP) was one of the pages tightly ... More »
