520    Soviet Belarus has been often referred to as the most 
       loyal of all Soviet republics, where there was no protest 
       and no sign of nonconformism appeared. This image 
       persisted well into the next decades, when Socialism 
       collapsed, the independent state of Belarus arose, and the
       impulse of democratic development was once again 
       endangered by the establishment of authoritarianism. This 
       book focuses on the dissent ideas that circulated in the 
       milieu of the Belarusian Soviet Intelligentsia both in 
       samizdat (uncensored) and in the officially published 
       literature. It argues that the latter was not less crucial
       for the transmission of the unconventional images of 
       culture and identity than the former. These ideas forewent
       the unprecedented rise of the cultural and political life 
       in the late 1980s-early 1990s, which had been often 
       overshadowed by the further downfall. The timeframe of the
       study lies between 1968, when the events of the Prague 
       Spring and its violent suppression altered the 
       intellectuals' perception of themselves and of the 
       Socialist order and 1988, when, on the eve of the Autumn 
       of Nations in Eastern and Central Europe, the intellectual
       dissent in the BSSR melted into political protest. Which 
       were the conditions of the rise and existence of 
       nonconformism of the intelligentsia in the generally 
       conformist society? How and by which instruments the 
       samizdat publishing functioned, how and to which extent 
       the exchange of ideas took place? And finally, how the 
       Belarusian intelligentsia responded to the challenges of 
       writing and thinking within the Socialist system? These 
       questions are central to the book. --|cProvided by
