Have a look, I developed the page witrh original content and provided numerous references that do not pop up in biographies on thois historian as available in Belrusian-, Russian- or Polish-language Wikipedias.

In addition, I worte all the text and developed the presentation of the bibliographical items on my own.

As I promised yesterday, this article was a stub and intended to develop it.

Hienadz Sahanovic is one of the leading historians in today's Belarus, and he has paid for that. As you probably known Belarus is an authoritarian country, so everyone whose opinions are not liked by the powers that be is silenced or their life is made so miserable that they decide to keep silent ro to emigrate. Sahanovic bravely decided to stay in Belarus, though he is not allowed to be employed in any higher education or reserach institution in this country, Hence, he continues his academic work in Poland and Lithuania.

All the speedy delition moves look like (I hope I am mistaken) at behest of the Belarusian authoritarian regime.
