Summary/Abstract: This article examines the question of the national liberation of Belarusians in connection with their social liberation during the First Russian Revolution (1905–1907) in the Russian Empire in the pages of the first Belarusian-language newspaper “Nasza Dola”, published in Vilnius in September − December 1906. All articles dealing with this issue are analysed. “Nasza Dola” publicists began work on the formation of the national and social consciousness of Belarusians, emphasizing the need to unite workers and peasants of all nationalities in the struggle for national and social liberation in Belarus and Lithu-ania, as well as throughout the Russian Empire. For comparison, examples of journalism from the first issues of the newspaper “Nasza Niwa”, which were published at the same time as “Nasza Dola” are analysed.
