December 12, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka awarded U\u0142adzimir Karyzna, 86, the title of the People’s Poet of Belarus yesterday, his press office reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The case stands out as the first conferment of this title by the Belarusian ruler, Radyjo Svaboda<\/em> noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title holders are outstanding writers and poets, such as Janka Kupa\u0142a (1925), Jakub Ko\u0142as (1926), Arkad\u017a Kula\u0161o\u016d and Maksim Tank (1968), Pimen Pan\u010danka (1973), Ni\u0142 Hilevi\u010d (1991) and Ryhor Baradulin (1992).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karyzna, a member of the pro-governmental Union of Writers of Belarus, updated Michai\u0142 Klimkovi\u010d’s lyrics of the BSSR anthem by removing references to Vladimir Lenin and the Communist Party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka approved it as the national anthem in 2002, after replacing the national white-red-white flag and the Pahonia coat of arms with Soviet-styled symbols in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and until 2002, Belarus kept using the BSSR anthem tune but without lyrics. Karyzna\u2019s lyrics has been criticized for the line \u201cGlory to the fraternal union of our peoples!\u201d, which extols Belarus\u2019 friendship with Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
