Friends,
On February 27, 2026, the KGB designated us an “extremist formation.”
What does this mean?
If you are in Belarus, travel to Belarus, or feel that you may be at risk for any reason:
-
unsubscribe from all our social media accounts;
-
clear your browser history if you have visited our website, as well as your message history if you have communicated with us (social media, messengers, email), remove any likes, reposts, or reactions;
-
do not communicate with us through unsecured channels;
-
stay calm and remain faithful to the power of the word.
Meanwhile, we will continue to be guided in our work by our mission: to defend writers and other creators, protect cultural and civil liberties, advocate for humanistic values, and preserve identity – while facilitating the evolution of Belarusian culture, creativity, and intercultural dialogue.
