    The infor­ma­tion was report­ed by Tut.by, quot­ing the press ser­vice of the chan­nels. The infor­ma­tion appeared after on Decem­ber 1, the Belaru­sian Lan­guage Soci­ety appealed to the chan­nel admin­is­tra­tion to orga­nize the broad­cast­ing of the event because of its his­toric impor­tance.

    “The Belaru­sian TV and Radio Com­pa­ny did not plan to buy the rights to broad­cast the Nobel Award Cer­e­mo­ny because of cer­tain orga­ni­za­tion­al, tech­ni­cal, finan­cial and legal issues,” said the spokesper­son for the com­pa­ny Svi­at­lana Smalon­ska­ja-Kra­souska­ja.

    In an inter­view on Decem­ber 2, Svi­at­lana Alex­ievich said that her Nobel Prize speech could be quite tough. “It will be a sto­ry about what I’ve been doing for 40 years, a sto­ry about the “red man” which I describe in my books and who keeps liv­ing in each of us. I will tell also about the mod­ern Belarus, about the young peo­ple who went out to the squares to fight for free­dom of their coun­try,” she said.

    The cer­e­mo­ny will be broad­cast on the Inter­net, the lec­ture on lit­er­a­ture on Decem­ber 7 and the cer­e­mo­ny on Decem­ber 10:
