About

Scope

The territory of modern-day Belarus was once part of Kievan Rus' and later divided among regional principalities such as Polotsk, Turov, and Vitebsk. After the 13th-century Mongol invasions, these lands were incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which eventually united with Poland to form the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. In the late 18th century, the Partitions of Poland brought Belarusian lands under control of the Russian Empire. Following the Russian Revolution and ensuing civil war, the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic was established and joined the Soviet Union in 1922. ^[1]

Belarus’s union with Russia began with its incorporation into the Russian Empire following the Partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, marking the end of independent Belarusian political structures. Although Belarus briefly experienced competing national movements during and after the Russian Revolution, the eventual formation of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic and its inclusion in the Soviet Union in 1922 led to a further loss of sovereignty. While nominally a republic, Belarus remained under tight control from Moscow throughout the Soviet era, with its political, economic, and cultural policies directed by Soviet authorities. ^{[2] [3]}

During World War II, Belarus suffered immense destruction under Nazi occupation, and its borders expanded after the Soviet annexation of Western Belorussia. In 1991, Belarus gained independence with the collapse of the Soviet Union. ^{[4] [5] [6]} In the 21st century, Belarus deepened its political and economic ties with Russia through the Union State framework, leading to increasing dependence on Moscow and raising concerns over the erosion of Belarusian sovereignty. ^{[7] [8] [9] [10]}

Although Belarus has not deployed troops, it has supported Russia in the Russo-Ukrainian War by allowing Russian forces to launch attacks from its territory and providing logistical assistance, aligning itself closely with Moscow’s military objectives. ^{[11] [12] [13]}

Inclusion criteria

Geographic scope of the works include the historical areas and contemporary Belarus as described above. Works about other regions are included when they contain substantial material related to the history of Belarusa.

This bibliography specifically excludes non-history related works; self-published works; magazines and newspaper articles; ^[a] works produced as propaganda; and works produced by non-academic government entities.

Formatting and citation style

This bibliography uses APA style citations. Entries do not use templates; references to reviews and notes for entries do use citation templates. Where books which are only partially related to the history of Belarus are listed, the titles for chapters or sections should be indicated if possible, meaningful, and not excessive.

If a work has been translated into English, the translator should be included and a footnote with appropriate bibliographic information for the original language version should be included.

When listing book titles with alternative English spellings, the form used in the latest published version should be used and the version and relevant bibliographic information noted if it previously was published or reviewed under a different title.
