Кароткая генеалогія: гістарычнае мінулае ў публічных прамовах беларускіх афіцыйных асобаў
A Short Genealogy: Historical Past in Public Speeches of Belarusian Offi cials

Summary/Abstract: Th e article examines the processes of formation and translation of the images of authority, people and “aliens” in public speeches of Belarusian offi cials during the period of liberalisation (2008-2010). Th e hypothesis is checked, according to which liberalisation can be found in public speeches of offi cials, who tried to escape isolation strategy and reduce the aggression towards the "aliens". Th e author concludes that Belarusian authorities understood the liberalisation quite narrowly , which fi nally led to the collapse of this policy.
