The article analyses the current directions of the policy conducted by Belarus vis -a -vis the former Soviet republics. Three main problems are outlined therein: the external and internal conditioning factors of the policy, its priorities, and activities in different spheres of bilateral relations. Firstly, as regards the external conditioning factors, the stress has been placed on presenting the most important interests of Russia and the European Union vis -a -vis Minsk. The analysis of internal factors encompasses historical and cultural, political and constitutional, as well as socioeconomic layers. Secondly, the article presents the priorities of Belarusian foreign policy as laid down in strategic state documents and official speeches by the president – i.a., these are: the “multi-vector” character of the foreign policy, its “economization” (dominance of economic dimension over other spheres of foreign relations), and – last but not least – widely defined security (i.a. in the field of energy). Finally, the analysis features the current state of Belarus’ relations with other former Soviet republics, covering the political, economic and security and military aspects thereof. Among the post -Soviet states a special position in Minsk’s policy is attributed to Russia, followed by Ukraine. Relations with the rest of the states are of lesser importance to Belarus. However, recent years have seen a visible growth in their dynamics, which can be, to a large extent, ascribed to the efforts made towards diversification of international ties in the context of growing tension in Minsk’s relations with Moscow.

This paper will look at the rich narratives of a young Belarusian professional, Aleksandra, collected in audio and video narratives and interviews since the autumn and winter 2020-2021. By looking in detail at Aleksandra’s experiences of the 2020 movement for democracy in Belarus, the paper will try to illuminate the work done by Aleksandra to give sense to her self-narrative, and to locate the voice she has been looking for and may have found. Connecting the usual micro interactions of conversation-like talk to the complex spaces of political and social relations, biographical narratives constructed in this kind of interview talk become an important lens through which the ongoing construction of individual/social identities and the realignment of individual meaning‑making in times of harsh biographical transition can be heard. Learning biographies, as narrative constructions, in which the layers of experience of a (being) lived life are drawn upon as resources, are situated in, and create, personalised storied spaces. Learning biographies draw upon biographical knowledge, which is the prerequisite for biographical reflexion, i.e. being able to think your own biography through anew and form it anew. In times when demands on people come as sudden and difficult, this type of knowledge serves as crucial biographical competence. The paper will show that such times of conflict entail redefinition of self, the re-drafting of biographies, the urgent need to reinvent the self in relation to others. Discursive processes hearable in such biographic narratives involve the changes imposed by civil conflict on narrators’ own and on others’ words, on their very narrative resources, altering radically the very language hitherto used to describe themselves and the world. They involve, too, the confrontation of past layers of experience with a difficult, yet sometimes exhilarating present. The construction of narratives of hope and solidarity can be observed. Finally, the paper explores the possibility of identifying in the interviews heard here the crucial relationships between everyday lives, the experience found in a widening of everyday sites of biographical experience, learning, and narration.

The article examines the specificity of the integration process between Belarus and Russia from 1991 to 2021. Due to historical and socio-cultural determinants Russia considers the Republic of Belarus as a part of its natural sphere of influence. Created in 1999, a “union state” become the main instrument of economic integration with efforts in the defense and intelligence. This arrangement was not fully implemented, but the Kremlin is committed to reestablish regional hegemony and increase Belarus dependance and commitment to Russia’s strategic goals.

Bishop Edward Samsel’s relations with the Church of the East were a major part of his pastoral ministry. As a patriot, he felt the obligation to help the Poles which remained within the borders of the Soviet Union, and suffered the torment of the local life. If possible, he tried to involve himself in the rebirth of religion in Belarus. Most contacts Bp E. Samsel had with the Grodno Diocese which was founded in 1991. The author analyzes the pastoral and material assistance, which was provided by Bp Samsel to resurgent church communities in Belarus, as well as his care for priests and seminarists.

Polish language in the Mohylew region – the past and present (the report on field research)The research in the Mohylew region is a continuation of research concerning the language of Catholics in former North-Eastern Borderland. The work contains an outline of the history of the Mohylew region including the history of the Catholic Church, education and functioning of Polish in this land. Besides Mohylew the following places were visited: Czausy, Faszczówka and Bezczynne where parishes are being revived. Evangelisation is in Belorussian and only in Mohylew one Holy Mass is in Polish every day. Conclusions: The Polish language in the Mohylew region has been functioning since 16th century what is confirmed in Mohylew town chronicles grave inscriptions in local Polish Cemetary. It has also been, excluding Jesuit parishes (Jesuits evangelised in the language of a given nationality, wrote catechisms and grammars) the language of prayers and lithurgy. The result of the progress of russification was that the range of its use narrowed down. The next stage (20’s and 30’s of 20th century) of the fight with the Church and religion led to interrupting passing the Polish language even in those families where it survived throughout former stages. In this way the Polish tradition was interrupted. At present it is very difficult to meet people using the old local Polish language. The Polish with regional features can be heard with those people who came to Mohylew after the World War II. There is also another quality: the language learned at school or courses. The Polish language is generally idiolectally diverse, its shape depends on the degree of fluency in Polish. On the basis of reviving catholicism and the Polish language with numerous young people who discovered their roots there is a process of reconstructing the Polish identity. Польский язык на Могилёвщине – прошлое и современность (отчёт по полевым исследованиям)Полевые исследования на Могилёвщине являются продолжением проводимых авторами исследований языка католиков на бывших северо-восточных рубежах Польши. В статье представлен краткий очерк истории Могилёвщины, католической церквы, просвещения на польском языке и функционирования польского языка на исследуемой территории. Кроме Могилёва авторы статьи посетили Чаусы, Фащевку и Бесчине. В этих местностях возрождаются католические приходы. Евангелизация и богослужения ведутся на белорусском языке. Только в Могилёве ежедневно одна месса происходит на польском языке. Выводы: Польским языком на Могилёвщине пользовались с XVI века, что подтверждают городские хроники и надписи на местном Польском кладбище. Кроме того он был (за исключением приходов, которые вели иезуиты, которые вели римскокатолическое вероучение на национальных языках) языком молитвы и литургии. По мере усиливания руссификации во время разделов Польши, использование польского языка уменьшалось. Очередной период (20-е и 30-е годы ХХ века) борьбы с католической церковью и религией стали причиной прекращения передачи польского языка даже в тех семьях, в которых он сохранился в предыдущий период. Одновременно прекратилась польская традиция. В настоящее время трудно найти людей, говорящих на давнем местном польском языке. Польский язык, насыщенный региональными диалектными чертами, встречается ещё у лиц, которые прибыли на Могилёвщину после второй мировой войны. Мы обнаружили ещё одну разновидность польского языка – это язык выученный в школе и на языковых курсах. В общем польский язык на Могилёвщине сильно дифференцирован в зависимости от индивида, а его качество от степени присвоения данного кода. Опираясь на возрождающийся католицизм и польский язык у многих молодых людей, которые обнаружили свои польские корни, наступает процесс реконструкции польского самосознания.

The monograph by Anna Engelking Kolkhoz members. Antropological study of identity in the Belorussian country at the turn of 20th and 21st centuries contains results of the research thet has been carried out for twenty years in Belarus. The author poses questions concerning the identity of Belarussian Kolkhoz members formed by themselves and shows that it is based on clear contrasts: peasant / landlord, Christian / Jew, believing / unbelieving.

This paper aims to assess limits of the European Union's ability to prompt the process of reforms in Belarus as a function of the conditionality approach's effectiveness. The Republic of Belarus stands out among other EU neighboring countries and represents a certain dilemma for the European Union. The EU's commitment to democratic values determined that the Union's policy towards Belarus has been mostly based on the principle of political conditionality. In the light of the present state of relations, the recent experience of political rapprochement during 2008-2010 should be interpreted rather in context of a number of external factors which shifted the EU's policy towards Belarus to a more pragmatic approach.

Among the ancient collection of the Archaeological Museum in Krakowthere lie the furnishings from the grave in Nacha in the north-western Belarus. Iron objects consist of an axe, two rings for a belt and a fire striker (with flint). The grave from Nacha represents the so-called stone graves – a skeleton burial covered with cobbles, which make up stone cemeteries. They are encountered mainly in the area of the Grodno Region in Belarus, but also in the Brest, Minsk and Vitebsk Regions, and in south-eastern Lithuania. Artefacts similar to those discovered in Nacha are frequently found in male graves of that type, though they are not considered to be reliable indicators of chronology. It can be surmised that the set dates back to the period after the christening of Lithuania – probably the end of the 14th - 15th c., but the possibility that it is younger cannot be ruled out.

The article describes the experience of Belarus in the field of international academic mobility. The purpose of the article is to reveal the theoretical and methodological aspects of the internationalization of higher education and academic mobility and describe the current situation on the integration of Belarus into the international context, from a sociological and statistical perspective. In view of the significant number of Belarusian students in Polish and Eastern European universities, the topic is relevant in the context of the study of academic mobility in Eastern Europe. As part of the first task, the theoretical aspects of studying the internationalization of higher education in the country are described – with justification for the development of both the external and internal internationalization, as well as a description of various types of students’ adaptation when studying abroad (academic, linguistic, socio-cultural). As part of the second task, the results of the author’s sociological study are presented, which includes two main components. Firstly, the results of a survey devoted to the study of the views of Belarusian students regarding academic mobility (including cognitive, affective and behavioural aspects) are presented. Secondly, the results of a series of in-depth interviews among participants in the processes of academic mobility aimed at studying the practices of Belarusian students staying abroad for educational purposes are considered. The studies showed the need to increase the awareness of Belarusian students about the possibilities of academic mobility (the vast majority of students have incomplete or fragmented ideas about the possibilities of academic mobility), as well as the problem of the incomplete involvement of the Belarusian higher education system in the international context (the activity of students participating in exchange programs is not counted at Belarusian universities). In accordance with the results, recommendations are given for the further integration of the Belarusian higher education system into the international context.

The article presents the results of a research on Polish national identity among people applying for the Polish National Card in Minsk, Belarus. The research project covered 125 persons who between March and the end of July 2013 had completed a course preparing them for an interview with the Consul of the Republic of Poland in order to obtain the Polish National Card. The research was to evaluate the traditional, ethnic criteria of the national bond, which largely overlap with the criteria required to be met by applicants for the Pole’s Card according to the Act on Pole’s Card of 7 September 2007. The results of the research suggest poor internalisation of the criteria of traditional national identity among the respondents.
