Andrej Dynko on Lukashenko's battle against all things Belarussian
Andrej Dynko, editor in chief of the Belarussian newspaper Nasa Niva, now threatened to close, calls on the world to show its solidarity. He describes how the policies being implemented in Alexander Lukashenko's third term in office are repressing all attempts to keep the Belarussian language and identity alive: "The last remaining independent daily in the Belarussian language is being closed down. The last remaining Belarussian high school is being closed down. Radio and TV stations are boycotting rock bands who sing in Belarussian. The process of closing down the writers' association has begun... They are trying to force a homogenous, Soviet identity on the people of Belarus. It's no longer simply a matter of saving Nasa Niva or the independent press. Belarus's cultural identity is at stake."

Andrej Dynko on the opposition in Belarus
"Being in prison is a bit like being pregnant: you're only worried at the beginning and the end," Andrej Dynko, editor in chief of the Belarussian culture magazine Nasa Niva notes. Having spent ten days in prison for participating in the anti-Lukashenko demonstrations, Dnyko has great hopes for the Belarussian opposition. "Who were my fellow detainees? Mostly people who had never been in prison before, young men aged between 18 and 35: a computer specialist from Minsk (born in Braslau in northern Belarus), a DJ from Mahilyu, a salesman from the 'Dinamo' market in Minsk (the son of a military officer, he was born in Russia and came to Belarus when he was 17). They are all a living refutation of idiotic nationalist clichés."
