I think Belarus has a shared history with the Polish Lithuania commonwealth. What not happened to Russia. The other flag of Belarus with a horse shows how the country is connected to Lithuania. I guess those countries may share some culture between them and maybe could be a little bit different from Russia. The other sign that Belarus people doesn't feel they are Russian is that they didn't want to join Russia. Many countries have many things in common, but don't want to join such as Slovenia and Czechia.

Also, I love how you described the guys who were mostly young and progressive radicals and were supported at the time by both Garibaldi and Marx as "old royalists". Shows what an expert you are. But OK, let's agree for the sake of an argument that the January Uprising is an irrelevant ancient history, which was just a Polish rebellion anyway (and that it doesn't matter haw Belarusians themselves view it). That still doesn't explain not mentioning the massive 2020-2021 protests, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, and the United Transitional Cabinet operating right now.

«Вечно пьяный, до оскотинения, завистлив, жаден, злобен, туп. Миф о русской бане мгновенно рассеивается после того как пройдёшь мимо типичного русского. Запах перегара и давно не стираных порток отвратителен сам по себе, но к нему примешивается ещё и запах кислой капусты и прокисших щей, до которых он, русский человек, большой охотник. Любимое занятие - лежание на печи и мечты о лучшей жизни. Эти мечты постоянно подогреваются правящей верхушкой. К наукам не склонен, по причине своего отупения в следствии неумеренного потребления браги. Брагу потребляет по причине того, что не может выгнать самогона. Не хватает терпения. Из разнообразия языков, на матушке Земля, в совершенстве владеет одним - матерным. Физически вроде и здоров, но в то же время страдает манией величия и шовинизма. Причисляет себя к третьему Риму, а являет собой вторую Содом и Гоморру. Агрессивен. Очень агрессивен. Что подтверждается его постоянным захватом чужих земель, при этом утверждается там как хозяин и всё вокруг считает своим. Описание портрета русского можно дополнять бесконечно, однако это будет не столько утомительно читателям сколь противно. Увы». Максим Горький, «Собирательный образ русского человека» Багдан Хмяльніцкі, тыпу таго, падпісаў некалі "глыбокую" інтэграцыю з ардой ... Украінскія гісторыкі кажуць, што Хмяльніцкі нічога не падпісваў, і ўсё гэта хлусня! І папер ніякіх не было і няма! А маскоўцы кажуцуь, што Хмяльніцкі -- падпісваў, але паперы не захаваліся бо моль іх паела. А ў выніку што? Украіна-Русь на доўгія стагоддзі патрапіла пад маскоўскі бот. Маскоўская арда скрала назву Украіны -- Русь, усю яе гісторыю, міталёгію, культуру і выдае яе за сваю. Узяць бы таго князя Уладзіміра, які, нібыта, хрысціў маскавітаў, яшчэ і помнікі яму нахабна ставяць. А далей і згадваць не хочацца.... Рэвалюцыя, Грамадзянская вайна, Галадамор, рэпрэсіі, генацыд...

Когда такой солдат-пограничник встречал в безлюдном месте (на дороге, в поле, в лесу) одинокого белоруса или белоруску, или ребенка, он стрелял человека, тут же лопатой выкапывал яму и засыпал труп. Такова была инструкция. Люди в деревнях не так боялись "человека с ружьём", как солдата с лопатой. (Эти факты опубликованы в белaруской печати в начале 90-х годов.) В 30-х годах на 95-99 процентов (практически полностью) была уничтожена (сослана и расстреляна) белaруская коммунистическо-партийная и советская администрация. Уничтожали даже директорат и хозяйственных руководителей. На должности убитых администраторов и коммунистических начальников-белорусов присылали “русских” из paсeии. “Русские” 🇷🇺 (так называемые "выдвиженцы") приезжали в Беларусь, занимали освобожденные должности, получали льготы, имущество, квартиры и первое, что они делали -- закрывали белорусские школы, переводили их на “русский” язык, чтобы их дети могли учиться, не обременяя себя изучением, как они говорили, "никому ненужного" белaруского языка. Таким образом оккупанты создавали в Беларуси "русскоязычное” население". Этноцид, лингвацид, мнемацид и геноцид проводзились большевиками одновременно. Уничтожение белaрусов рaсeйским НКВД продолжалось и во времена немецкой аккупации. В июне 1941 года в первые дни войны коммунисты расстреляли в тюрьмах и на этапах тысячи заключенных. Только в Брестской крепости, где была страшная тюрьма НКВД, всех арестованных ликвидировать не успели, часть из них разбежалась. Тем временем большая группа надзирателей и функционеров НКВД была заблокирована в крепости немцами. Они сидели там около месяца, пока не вымерли. Лет через 20 после войны коммунисты придумали легенду о "героической обороне" Брестской крепости. Обращает на себя внимание тот факт, что широкое советское партизанское движение было организовано только в Беларуси и частично -- на этнических белaруских землях, которые были в составе paсeии (Смоленщина, Брянщина). В оккупированой России партизанского движения не было. Почему? Да потому, что продолжал действовать план уничтожения белорусской нации. Москва, используя органы НКВД, втянула массы гражданского белорусского населения в войну против немцев, и этим подставила белорусов под немецкий удар. Необходимое дело борьбы исходило из коварного замысла и осуществлялось подлыми методами. (Сталин хотел получить двойную выгоду.) Энкавэдисты специально около белорусской деревени убивали немца или делали другую провокацию, чтобы вызвать карательную операцию гитлеровцев (которые обычно сжигали всю деревню, чаще всего -- вместе с людьми). Таким образом, кстати, в результате специальной провокации советских партизан была сожжена и известная Хатынь, которую коммунисты потом в 70-х годах разрекламировали на весь мир как типичную жертву фашистского зверства. В результате такой коммуно-фашистской совместной "работы" в Беларуси сожгли более 9 тысяч деревень. Поэтому к концу войны, в результате специальной операции НКВД, многие белaaруские командиры были посланы на смерть, отстранены от командования, убиты и репрессированы. Их места занимали русские, присланные из Мосвы, и верные энкавэдисты. Летом 1944 года, когда "красная армия" заняла Беларусь, “русские” провели мобилизацию в армию на белaруской территории. Десятки тысяч молодых белaруских мужчин, почти без подготовки, бросили на передовую линию фронта. “pусские” командиры поднимали их в ненужные атаки под огонь немецких пулеметов, не дав даже оружия в руки, или с винтовками, но без патронов. Они гибли тысячами, как трава под косой. А те, что бежали назад, попадали под пули энкавэдистских "заградотрядов". Впрочем, заградотряды стреляли и в спину. Так продолжалось уничтожение белaрусов на войне, руками немцев и “русских” одновременно. Как говорили коммунисты, "в борьбе за советскую родину". В 40-х годах русские вывезли в Сибирь и там замучили всех лесников и так называемых "кулаков" из Западной Беларуси. Вывозили вагонами, по разнорядках.

Well, no, you want to tell the history of Belarus and you don't say that Lithuania was the first Belarusian state? Belarusians were called Lithuanians by Muscovites. The language of the chancellery of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was Belarusian. The Bible in Belarusian was published in 1517 and Orthodox Christianity was practiced by the peasantry and nobility. The greatest magnate of the Polish-Lithuanian union, Prince Ostrogski, was Orthodox. Catholicism was limited exclusively to today's ethnic Lithuanians. Catholicism began to take hold of the Belarusian nobility after the war of 1654-67, when Russia invaded, murdered or deported more than half of the population of Lithuania-Belarus.
