Abstract
The author analyzes the lesser studied aspects of the Belarusian People’s Republic diplomatic activity leaders in 1918 – 1919. The article emphasizes that today a lot of the Belarus history of early twentieth century are still little studied or simply unknown. The article highlights the need for more detailed study of the documents and materials that are stored in the Department of Manuscripts of the Library at National Academy of Lithuania, which, without exaggeration, can be called the «Belarusian Fund». Especially interesting are those that are associated with external political projects on creation of federal structures from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea with possible participation of Lithuania, Belarus and Ukraine. The author thoroughly studied the foreign policy of the Council of Ministers headed by Anton Lutskevich during the Paris Peace Conference. It is emphasized that BNR representatives were almost in isolation in Paris, without having sources or even verbal support of the victorious powers. However, A. Lutskevich having expanded political activities in a number of European capitals, hoped for the possibility of diplomatic breakthrough in the Belarusian issue. The author presents comparative analysis of positions on the Belarus independence expressed by I. Paderewski, the Polish prime minister, and T.G.Masaryk, the President of Czech-Slovak Republic. Some issues of Belarusian-Ukrainian bilateral cooperation were also clarified. It is concluded that on the way of the BPR international recognition the position of the Entente powers was very important, who saw revived Poland and the Baltic as the geopolitical «barrier» against Germany and Bolshevik Russia. Therefore, the independence of Belarus was considered politically inappropriate.
