How Cowardly They Are

Lukashists recognized Yuri Felshtinsky's book "Natalia Radina's Belarus" as extremist.

The new book of the American writer Yuri Felshtinsky "Natalia Radina's Belarus: journalist against the dictator" was recognized "extremist" in Belarus. Such a decision was made by the court of Kastrychnitski district of Minsk on March 13.

The book "Natalia Radina's Belarus: journalist against the dictator" is the history of modern Belarus, described through the life of one person: the Belarusian journalist and politician Natalia Radina, editor-in-chief of the leading Belarusian opposition website "Charter'97" (Charter97.org).

Reading this book, the reader will witness the revolutionary events and protest movement that began in Belarus in 1995 and have not faded to this day, will get acquainted with the chronicle of numerous political murders organized by the Belarusian security services on the orders of dictator Lukashenko, together with Radina will plunge into her prison life, feel the joys of her release and the complexities of a unique escape from the KGB from Belarus, will be an eyewitness to vivid and unforgettable meetings with such famous contemporaries, such as Stanislav Shushkevich, Lech Walesa, Andrzej Wajda, Boris Nemtsov, Leonid Nevzlin, Hillary Clinton and others.

The reader will see that Belarus, although part of the Russian Empire and the USSR, is a separate and distinctive country; that since the Middle Ages Belarus has considered itself part of Europe and oriented itself toward the West, not the East; that the future of Belarus, freed from Lukashenko's dictatorial regime, is with the European Union, not with Russia, which has effectively occupied Belarus and whose security can ultimately be ensured only by NATO membership.

But the main conclusion the reader can draw is that, despite temporary defeats and spilled blood, arrests and executions of the last decades, lack of real help from outside, Belarusian democracy is alive, and Belarusians continue to fight for freedom.

The book will be of interest not only to historians, journalists and political scientists studying Belarus, but also to a wide range of readers.
