Thanks in part to President Alexander Lukashenko’s policy of emphasizing the country’s Soviet past, Belarusians have been largely deprived of a clear national identity since gaining independence in the early 1990s. Now Lukashenko — who has long associated expressions of national pride with the opposition movement — is increasingly, if carefully, promoting a distinct Belarusian identity to prevent his country from falling prey to Russian propaganda. Even if it’s political calculation, observers say this quiet cultural rebirth is a natural social phenomenon that often follows colonial rule.
