Belarus from the Middle Ages to the War in Ukraine

Review by Alesia Mankouskaya
Top of a tall building set against the blue sky. On the top of the building the Belarusian flag hangs on a flagpole. Under it in red letters "MT3" is visible. Further below the word "Belarus" in red letters.
In Belarus – A Silenced History (ibidem, 2024), Toni Stenström offers an accessible and ambitious attempt to trace the historical trajectory of Belarus. Alesia Mankouskaya writes that despite its flaws, the book implicitly challenges the historical silence and values its attempt to reclaim and retell national history.
