Implementation of the Politics of Memory in the Belarusian National Movement in Interwar Poland

The article deals with the little-studied issue of the memory politics of Belarusian national activists in interwar Western Belarus.

The author of the article reveals the role of historical education and upbringing in the memory politics of Belarusians in interwar Poland, analyzes commemorative practices connected with the installation of monuments to famous Belarusian public figures in cemeteries and holding memorial events, gives a definition of the “literary” direction of historical politics, where representatives of Belarusian culture, rather than famous political figures, were in the first place.
