This book tells the story of modern Belarus through the life of one of the most famous and uncompromising figures of the Belarusian opposition — journalist and politician Natallia Radzina. Against the backdrop of her life, a chronicle of protests, repressions, political assassinations, and the struggle for freedom unfolds, which has been ongoing in Belarus since the mid-1990s and continues to this day.

***

Yuri Felshtinsky's book is the history of modern Belarus, told through the life of one person: Belarusian journalist and politician Natallia Radzina. The reader will immerse themselves in the life of this brave woman, who rose from an ordinary journalist to the editor-in-chief of the leading Belarusian opposition website "Charter'97", and will witness revolutionary events and the protest movement that began in Belarus in 1995 and continue to this day.


He will become acquainted with the chronicle of numerous political assassinations organized by Belarusian special services on the orders of dictator Alexander Lukashenka, will experience her prison days with Radzina, will feel the joy of liberation and the difficulties of a unique escape from the KGB from Belarus, and will witness bright and unforgettable meetings with such famous contemporaries as Stanislau Shushkevich, Lech Wałęsa, Andrzej Wajda, Boris Nemtsov, Leonid Nevzlin, Hillary Clinton, and others.

By reading this book, the reader will see that Belarus, although it was part of the Russian Empire and the USSR, is a distinct, original country; that from the Middle Ages, Belarus considered itself part of Europe and oriented itself towards the West, and not at all towards the East; that the future of Belarus, liberated from Lukashenka's dictatorial regime, is with the European Union, and not with Russia, which has effectively occupied the country, and whose security can ultimately only be ensured by NATO membership.

But the main conclusion that the reader can draw is that, despite temporary defeats and spilled blood, arrests and executions of recent decades, and the lack of real external assistance, Belarusian democracy lives on, and Belarusians continue to fight for freedom.
