Review of Andriej Moskwin's Book Teatr białoruski 1920–1930. Odrodzenie i zagłada (Warszawa 2013)

Summary/Abstract: The book by Andriej Moskwin focuses on the Belarusian theatre of the inter-war period, at the time of awakening of the national culture and its later obliteration. Discussing the decade of 1920–1930, the author presents outstanding artists, the history of the Belarusian State Theatre, and development of Belarusian drama. Moskwin, not without reason, claims to have discovered and described the programme of the Belarusian national theatre. It is one of the book’s qualities. The author does not make any groundbreaking historical discoveries but argues that his description of them “is still thematically relevant”. As far as academic standards are concerned, the book is exemplary (the research carried out to date, biographies of the artists, reconstructions of shows, repertory, etc.), thus filling out a substantial gap in our knowledge of our close neighbours.
