Mikalai Statkevich preparing "Freedom's Way"
While serving his prison term, Mikalai
Statkevich uses the assistance of his wife, Maryna Adamovich, in
compiling a new book, "Freedom's Way", a collection of his
essays and articles for the last decade.
According to Mrs.
Adamovich, Mikalai gives pieces of advice concerning the composition
of the book:
"We decided, that it is worth issuing a book
of selected articles, the more that, as the experience shows, many of
them remain topical even through years. Mikola approved this idea. At
present we are working at it, as far as some of these articles were
written in the beginning of the 1990-ies and even at the end of
1980-ies under a nickname and it is impossible to find their
electronic versions," said Maryna Adamovich.
Mikalai
Statkevich wants to include in the book an article dated 2007, "Cruel
Coquette and Simpleton", about the relations of the EU and
Belarus. The article was written during the so-called
"liberalization" and the politician thinks that the article
is also relevant to the present situation.
According to Maryna
Adamovich, they intend to publish the book this year. At present she
is looking for Statkevich's books in the libraries and old newspapers
with the assistance of his friends.
