Abstract
The article is devoted to assessing the reflections of Belarusian and Ukrainian intellectuals on the dramatic events of 2020–2023 - the 2020 revolutionary uprising in Belarus and Russia’s full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. Three important aspects are represented in the article: 1) the stance towards the past and the critical revision of the Soviet legacy; 2) the question of the national language, the extent to which it functions, and the prospects for its development; 3) the right to individual expression of one’s views, which is revealed in judgments about the existing situation and in the vision of the future. Some common features are noted in Belarusians’ and Ukrainians’ reflections on these events, as well as differences also being delineated, which are deepening with the passage of time.
