March 24, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana has unveiled a memorial plaque commemorating the first East Slavic book printer Francysk Skaryna in downtown Prague where he lived and worked in the 16th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plaque is located near the house of merchant Severin where Skaryna presumably printed 23 books of the Old Testament in 1517-1519. It depicts Skaryna’s seal, overlapping sun and new moon with inscription in Latin Domvs Severini. Institoris<\/em> (house of the merchant Severin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lithuanian Embassy in Prague, the Polish Institute in Prague and the office of the Belarusian pro-democracy forces in the Czech Republic funded the plaque designed by Czech artist Ji\u0159\u00ed Altmann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We fight for our national identity, which is being attacked and erased by imperial Russia,” Cichano\u016dskaja said. “The name of Skaryna is at the core of this identity. This plaque is another important step in strengthening our identity and our connection with Europe.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skaryna’s work in Prague testifies to the cultural closeness of Czechs and Belarusians, Prague Mayor Zden\u011bk H\u0159ib noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polish envoy Mateusz Gniazdowski described Skaryna as a symbol of solidarity and cooperation. Warsaw supports a democratic Belarus especially as Belarusians and Polish minority suffer politically-motivated reprisals, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Representatives of the Lithuanian Embassy in the Czech Republic and several dozen Belarusians attended the ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
