The list also included the book by Darota Michaluk “The Belarusian People’s Republic, 1918–1920: At the Origins of Belarusian Statehood.”
The book examines the Belarusian attempt to achieve statehood in the aftermath of the First World War. The author sought to present as comprehensively as possible the emergence and development of the Belarusian statehood idea, as well as the activities that led to the creation and proclamation of the independence of the Belarusian People’s Republic. The study raises many important and topical questions, including those related to the development of the Belarusian statehood concept and the formation of various political strategies and alliances. One of the central questions addressed is the reason for the failure of Belarusian state-building plans—why Belarusians were unable to secure independence after the First World War. Chronologically, the author brings the analysis up to the collapse of the BNR government headed by Anton Łuckievič in February 1920, since it was at that moment, in her view, that the Belarusian independence camp disintegrated and the BNR government effectively lost its capacity to act.
