(webzine “Kultura. Natsyia”, issue 33, April 2024, 70-99, www.sakavik.net)

Abstract. In the previous, 32nd issue of the magazine “Culture. Nation”, the stories about the Grand Duchy of Lithuania based on postage stamps were presented. This time, the author provides a rather detailed historical description of the birth of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The distinctive feature of this description is that it includes a series of postage stamps and envelopes issued in Lithuania, Belarus, Poland, and Granada, which together (about 50 in total) make up the true story of the beginning of the founding of a large feudal state in Eastern Europe in XIII-XIY cc., a significant part of which was represented by Belarusian lands and people who lived there.
