AWW23: A Writer in Exile - Alhierd Bacharevič

Chair: Miriam Cosic


In an open letter to the people of Ukraine in 2022, novelist,
journalist and playwright Alhierd Bacharevič wrote: “I am
prepared to take upon myself the shame and disgrace of Belarus
for what is happening – in exactly the same way as German writers
in the emigration did in the times of the Second World War."
Since then, his masterwork, Dogs of Europe, has been banned
as ’extremist material’ and confiscated copies have been
destroyed.
