    Famous People of Belarus.
    There are many famous people in our republic.
    Among them you can find the names of politicians and
    public figures, intellectuals and scientists, heroes
    of war and labour, sportsmen and artists.
    First of all I'd like to mention the name of
    our outstanding national writers Yanka Kupala
    and Yakub Kolas. They created a new Belarusian
    Literature and a Belarusian literatury language.
    Both are considered to be the classics of Belorusian
    literature. These names are followed by a number of
    other well-known writers and poets, such as
    K. Krapiva, Chorny, Brovka, Shamyakin, Tank, Bykov,
    Korotkevich, Gilevich, Loyka, Adamovich known both
    in our country and abroad. Their works are translated
    into many European languages.
    Many Minsk streets are named after the
    Balarusian writers.
    The cultural life of Belarus has always been
    very interesting and varied. Among the leading
    composers of the present centure were Tikotsky,
    Aladov, Bogatyrov, Smolsky. Other
    well-known composers of the older generation include
    Pukst, Lukas, Luchenok, Alovnikov, etc.
    Many prominent names in the history of Belarus
    of the 20th century are connected with the two main
    events, the Second World War and space exploration.
    The Belarusians fought heroically defending their
    Motherland. But we are especially proud of the
    heroes of the last war: K. Zaslonov, E. Osipova,
    N. Gastello, V. Talalikhin, the defenders of Brest
    Fortess and many others. In the family of cosmonauts
    there are also two Belarussians, A. Kovalyonok and
    P. Klimuk.
    At the present day time, the time of revolution
    of values, it's difficult to find heroes especially
    among politicians. Time will put everything in its
    place and give everybody his due. But one thing is
    obvious: great times are created by great men. Their
    names are sure to become history whatever it may be.
