Speaking Up For The Belarusian Language Amid Anti-Government Protests

Amid ongoing protests following a presidential election widely seen as rigged, many Belarusians are showing a renewed interest in their native language and culture. Belarusian is an official language of the country alongside Russian, but it is only actively used by a minority of the people. Activists blame this on intensified Russification under the 26-year-rule of Alyaksandr Lukashenka.
