Recenzii
"Andrew Savchenko’s book may be seen as a valuable contribution to Belarusian studies produced in the West – the author used a challenging approach toward the Belarusian situation showing Belarusian national development from the XVI century up to the present, even if using existing stereotypes."
Kiryl Kascian and Hanna Vasilevich, in Belarusian Review, Vol. 24, No. 4.
"The absence of a well-defined national identity explains many aspects of Belarussian history. It explains, as the author implies, the reason why Belarus has continued to gravitate to Russia and has not fully developed a market economy or a democracy in the manner of other post-Soviet states.... an important contribution to the study of a country that, despite its small size, has played an important role in global politics."
