BSAML staff attended the opening of the international project «Litaratary on the Military Roads»

On October 9, 2025, staff of the Belarusian State Archives and Museum of Literature and Art (hereinafter referred to as BSAML) attended the grand opening of the international exhibition project «Litaratary on the Military Roads», dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. The exhibition took place at the Yanka Kupala State Literary Museum.

The «Litaratary on the Military Roads» exhibition is a collaboration between the Yakub Kolas State Literary and Memorial Museum, the Yanka Kupala State Literary Museum, and the Kaliningrad Regional Museum of History and Art. The exhibition features original items from the 1940s, depicting the everyday life, creative work, and social activities of the Belarusian national poets Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas, as well as their families, during the Great Patriotic War. The exhibition also showcases the front-line careers of ten writers and poets whose lives are linked to the founding and development of the Kaliningrad Region.

During the exhibition, staff of the Belarusian State Museum of Literature and Literature (BSAMLI) donated the book «Born by War and the Virgin Lands» — a joint collection of documents, letters, translations, and articles—to the Yanka Kupala Museum. This publication is the result of fruitful collaboration between the BSAMLI, the State Museum of the History of Belarusian Literature, the Yakub Kolas State Literary and Memorial Museum, the Writers’ Union of Belarus, and the Writers’ Union of Kazakhstan.

The exhibition proved an important and engaging experience for BSAMLI staff dedicated to preserving and promoting literary heritage.
