Abstract
Britain is largely ignorant about Belarusian language and literature, having heard only of Minsk, Chernobyl and Lukashenka. Attempts to inform the public about this country began in the middle of the 20th century through the lectures and publications of the Anglo-Belarusian (then Byelorussian) Society. This limited success has been continued to the present day, with books, conferences and various meetings of the Society. Informing the wider public, however, is as challenging now as it was over half a century earlier.
