Projects

In partnership with Soviet Belarus, several media projects were launched, including the newspaper Soyuz, the magazine Spetsnaz, and the English-language newspaper The Minsk Times.
The Belarus Today Publishing House also participates in a historical archival project, “Partisans of Belarus,” in cooperation with the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus. The project aims to digitize personnel records of decorated Belarusian partisans and underground resistance members, ultimately creating a publicly accessible online database enriched with newly digitized archival documents.
