«Беларуская санацыя» ў Польшчы (1928–1937): паміж канфрантацыяй і лаяльнасцю
“Belarusian sanation” in Poland (1928–1937): between confrontation and loyality

Summary/Abstract: A number of political trends existed in the Belarusian national movement in Western Belarus in Poland in the interwar period. One such political trend was the “Belarusian sanation” (“Luckievič-Astroŭski group”), which arose after the Polish authorities dissolved the Belarusian Peasants Workers Hramada. Followers of the “Belarusian sanation” proposed to abandon the radical political struggle and begin a search for a compromise with the Polish authorities to preserve the existing Belarusian cultural and educational organizations. Based on these ideas, such organizations as Centrasajuz and the Belarusian Education’s Association were created. At the same time, the “Belarusian sanation” was quite critical of polonization policy and acted as a “constructive opposition” towards the Polish authorities. The reason for the decline of the “Belarusian sanation” was internal disagreement among the leaders of this political direction.
