Protesty 2020 roku jako punkt zwrotny w twórczości poetów białoruskich

In 2020, creative circles played a major role in the post-election protests in Belarus. Musicians, writers, artists worked together to create #kultprotest, their works: posters, photos, texts, songs – depicted all the events as they happened, thus creating a kind of artistic chronicle of the events themselves. Poetry was the most popular at the time. Very quickly, in response to the protests, the authorities began to employ repression. A considerable number of authors went through detention, some were sentenced to several years in jail, others were forced to leave the country. Looking at individual writers from this perspective, we can clearly see a pivotal moment in their work. For many of them, there was a break in their work and a subsequent turn to literary forms such as the essay, journal, letter, reportage, etc. The article presents the work of such Belarusian poets as Dmitrij Strocev, Alhierd Bacharevič, Julia Cimafiejeva, Siarhiej Pryłucki, Nasta Kudasava, Hanna Komar and others.
