To the 105th anniversary of the Belarusian People’s Republic

Abstract. According to the results of the work of the 1st All-Belarusian Congress, three historical documents, called Constitutional Charters, were approved, in which the Executive Committee of the Congress: declared itself a temporary authority in Belarus to manage the country (I), declared Belarus as People’s Republic, BNR (II), and declared the BNR an independent and free state. The historical role of the declaration of independence of the BNR is that it opened a window for Belarusian statehood in the modern period for the first time. Some lessons from the activities of the BNR are analyzed. Wishes were expressed for the victory of the people of Ukraine in the war with aggressive Russia and the hope that the Belarusian people will achieve changes for a better life in Belarus – for the establishment of democracy in the country, for respect for human rights, for the creation of a real national state.
