Abstract
Belarusian authorities have a very specific perception of historical memory and have made a number of attempts trying to verify national history and to question the value of some parts of the national heritage. Official propaganda looks at the history of Belarus through the prism of West Russianism and the idea of the trinity of the Russian nation. Uładzimir Arłoŭ in his literary works focuses on creating an image of history through the prism of human behavior, moral principles and choices which were made in specific circumstances – both by direct participants and eyewitnesses of history. In the novel Prince Hieronim's Grace (1987), the main theme is the clash between the individual and the authorities. It forces the individual to make a choice in the face of pressure and the desire to maintain one's own identity – belonging to "our own people" represented in the novel by Ivan Karpač and clearly contrasted in terms of their values with "outsiders", represented by prince Hieronim Radziwiłł.
