Historical Dictionary of Belarus
Belarus is one of fifteen successor states of the former Soviet Union. It’s the only post-Soviet state that is in full of control of its territory and has no territorial conflicts with its neighbors. It’s squeezed between Russia and the European Union. Belarus had never been an independent nation prior to the Soviet Union’s disintegration and its identity is still evolving. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Belarus contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Belarus.

Belarusans in the United States
Belarusans in the United States traces the history and describes the lives and activities of the over half-million Belarusans who have entered the United States over the last century. Vitaut Kipel presents extensive statistics and documentation on these immigrants so that they can be understood within the socio-political contexts that prevailed in Belarus and the United States. He clarifies the complex terms necessary to understand the Belarusan settlers because of the constantly changing names and rulers of this land now known as the Republic of Belarus. Kipel demonstrates the growing sense of nationalism felt by the Belarusans as the end of the Soviet Union neared and the eventual independence of Belarus became imminent. He notes the effects of the events in Belarus on those who moved to the United States, while chronicling the actions of the people as a group in a new country.
