About the Book

English summary: Belarus, the country between Poland and Russia, Lithuania and Ukraine, occupies an unusual position on the political map of Europe. The reason lies in Belarusian history which has seen not only disasters such as devastating wars, Stalinist terror, the Nazi holocaust and Chernobyl's atomic rainfall, but also many changes of leadership and regime as well as degrees of Polonization and Russification. Placing the population in its ethnic and cultural context therefore appears complicated. Against this background, the 'last dictatorship in Europe' remains a 'white spot' that needs to be colored in. This anthology gathers historical essays, cultural analyses and reports by journalists dealing with previously unknown aspects of this country on its difficult path towards Europe. German description: Weissrussland - das Land zwischen Polen und Russland, Litauen und der Ukraine - nimmt auf der politischen Landkarte Europas eine ungewohnliche Position ein. In der deutschen Offentlichkeit herrscht in Bezug auf die 1991 gegrundete Republik Belarus sogar Unklarheit daruber, wie Land und Leute zu benennen sind. Unterschiedliche Begriffe wie "weissrussisch", "weissruthenisch", "belarusisch", "belarussisch" und "belorussisch" haben Eingang in den Sprachgebrauch gefunden. Die Ursache dafur liegt in der weissrussischen Geschichte begrundet, in der nicht nur Katastrophen wie verheerende Kriege, der stalinistische Terror, der nationalsozialistische Holocaust und der atomare Niederschlag von Tschernobyl eine Rolle gespielt haben, sondern zahlreiche Herrschafts- und Regimewechsel zu verzeichnen sind, die mit Polonisierungs- und Russifizierungsprozessen einhergingen. Dazu zahlten das Kiewer Reich, das Grossfurstentum Litauen, die polnische Adelsrepublik, das russische Zarenreich, die Zweite Polnische Republik und die Sowjetunion - entsprechend kompliziert erscheint die ethnische und kulturelle Verortung einer Bevolkerung, die sich im Laufe der Geschichte neben den Weissrussen aus Litauern, Tataren, Ukrainern, Russen und Juden zusammensetzte.Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die "letzte Diktatur Europas" noch als ein "weisser Fleck" dar, den es mit Farbe zu fullen gilt. Im vorliegenden Sammelband befassen sich historische Essays, kulturwissenschaftliche Analysen und journalistische Reportagen mit bislang unbekannten Aspekten dieses Landes auf seinem schwierigen Weg nach Europa.
