The British magazine points out that Svetlana Alexievich who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2015 is the first non-fiction writer to do so. It also underlines the fact that soon after the winning her works have been freshly translated into English. “Alexievich’s interviews with Russian soldiers in Afghanistan, Chernobyl survivors, people who were children in the war with Germany and many others produce moving accounts of suffering in the Soviet world. Her technique of collating highly-edited transcripts with little or no context has been criticised as being more myth-making than accurate history. But there’s no denying the courage and artistry of a writer who counts Vladimir Putin among her opponents,” a brief description of the Belarusian writer reads. Recall that Alexievich was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature hugely admired Second-Hand Time that was described as “a monument to suffering and courage in our time”. It has been half a century since a writer working primarily in non-fiction won the Nobel – Svetlana Alexievich is the first journalist and writer from Belarus to win the award.

According to the official report, Lukashenka has already read the statement of Zelensky. Recently, the Ukrainian leader offered to organize an international meeting with the participation of the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, USA, Great Britain, Germany and France in Belarus. The press service notes that «there is nothing new in the policy of the president of Belarus and in his attitude to the conflict in Ukraine,» so Lukashenka supports the idea of such a summit. «As for the voiced proposals on the participants of the meeting, everyone must remember that the president of our country has repeatedly said that „this problem should be solved by us — the three Slavic peoples. Not Europeans, not Americans, but us, so that it would not be frozen as other hotspots in the post-Soviet space,“ the statement said. »But if the problem cannot be solved in such a format, and one of the parties to the conflict — in this case Ukraine — insists and offers the participation of other players, we also support this format… Moreover, Alyaksandr Lukashenka has long been talking about the U.S. involvement in the resolution of this conflict — it will be difficult to solve this problem without the Americans," the statement said.

On July 14, the British band Bring Me The Horizon will present their big program. It is not the first time that rockers will come to Belarus. In the past, every performance was sold out. There is almost no doubt that this time it will be the same, so it's better to buy tickets in advance. Moreover, the Belarusians will hear songs from the new album where the band changed its sound and moved away from the usual «metal» feel. The tickets are rather affordable with prices ranging from 67 BYN for the dance area (without commission). You can buy tickets at the ticket offices in the city, as well as here. The next day, «Chyzhouka Arena» will again host the main rock stage in Belarus, as the Thirty Seconds To Mars will come to Minsk once again. They have already visited Minsk three times — in 2011, 2014, and 2015. And in 2017, the performance was cancelled due to the economic situation in the country. Still, each previous gig was packed. Most likely, this time it will be the same. Americans are the idols of several generations at once and still remain in the tops of international music charts and awards. In addition, their front-man Jared Leto continues his acting career and has every chance to win more than one Oscar. So it will be possible to see and hear the person who is sometimes compared to a biblical hero for his appearance and voice in real life very soon. The Americans have chosen Mahiliou rockers Nizkiz which were competing with well-known European bands as their supporting band. And it is not surprising, because now the band is one of the most popular ones in the country. Tickets are still on sale with prices starting at 80 rubles. There are few seats left, but relatively good tickets can still be found on the organizers' website.
