soc.culture.belarus
Belarus and Belarusians.
From the 1994 election of Lukashenka onward, the group tracked a country sliding from post-Soviet opening into managed autocracy, with diaspora posters increasingly carrying the conversation as domestic access narrowed.
Language threads on Belarusian vs. Russian usage, Taraškievica orthography and the white-red-white flag give the archive lasting documentary value.
