CALL FOR PAPERS- SOYUZ Conference, April 1999

[Uladzimir L. Katkouski]

Witaju! Calkam zhodny z Hanyaj!

For me, being a nationalist from Belarus, the topic of the conference
seems to be especially upsetting. Dear organizers, look at the plight
of Belarus, and think twice of the Sajuz. Any sane nation should
avoid closer contacts with this dying empire.

Usiaho nailepshaha,
Uladzimir Katkouski
