Lesson Brief Сноб
Belorussian president Alexander Lukashenko condemned Belorussian Nobel prize winner Svetlana Aleksievich in a speech over the week, saying that authors who write negativity about Belarus are simply dirtying the country's culture. While the president did not mention Alexievich by name, he was aiming the comments at her. Many of Alexievich's works chronicle the suffering and bravery of the Soviet and post-Soviet experience, along with much criticism of Soviet and post-Soviet leader.
