(Not) executed

This book is about those who lived to the fullest, loved, made mistakes, dreamed and created. About those who were destined to become the voice of their era - and who were interrupted in mid-sentence. "(Un)Executed" tells the life stories of 18 Belarusian writers, gives voice to their work and returns to cultural memory the names that they wanted to erase. This is not only a book about tragedy, but also a book about life.

This book is not about victims. It tells the stories of young and ambitious people who lived life to the fullest. They loved and believed, were disappointed and made mistakes. They caught historical changes, witnessed the emergence of a new country. And it was their fate to shape its cultural face. But they were interrupted halfway through. The fate of all the heroes of this book ended tragically, as did the lives of a significant part of the entire Belarusian intelligentsia of that time. "(Un)Executed" is a book with the life stories of eighteen writers, their selected works and illustrations, some of which are being printed for the first time
