The first issue of the almanac is entitled “Pol politiki”. This Russian phrase plays with the double meaning of the Russian word pol: translated as “gender” and “half”. In our case, this polysemy is symbolic because the androcentric vision of political issues in post-Soviet countries consistently excludes women. That is, it excludes half of the population. Therefore, we decided to start a dialogue with our readers by questioning the “gender” of politics which is questioning the “half” of politics and the Belarusian population.
