Krzysztof Zanussi supports Hrodna lecturers
The famous film producer is an honorary professor of Hrodna State University.
He is indignant at the dismissal of historians Andrei Charnyakevich and Vyachaslau Shved for the book Hrodna Studies. The local authorities think that the book is rebellious. Head of Hrodna Province Executive Committee Syamyon Shapira confessed that he had ordered to sack Andrei Charnyakevich.
Such decisions are inadmissible and do not correspond to European standards, Zanussi told Polish Radio. Hoever, he sees no scene in writing letters in support of the dismissed lecturers because it will not change anything. “It is up to Belarusians, they should speak up. Everyone must struggle for their freedom. Let Belarusians answer: what choice have they made as a people?” Zanussi said.
