Case of the Union of Liberation of Belarus

The Case of the Union of Liberation of Belarus (Russian: Дело «Союза освобождения Белоруссии», romanized: Delo "Soyuza osvobozhdeniya Belorussii") was a political and criminal case initiated by the GPU of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic against several Belarusian scientists and culture activists.

The GPU accused the victims of membership in a (presumably non-existent) anti-Soviet organization called the Union of Liberation of Belarus (Belarusian: Саюз вызвалення Беларусі, romanized: Sajuz vyzvalennia Biełarusi).

At the beginning the GPU saw Vaclaw Lastowski (former prime minister of the Belarusian People's Republic), Alaksandar Ćvikievič and Arkadź Smolič (former agriculture minister of the Belarusian People's Republic), as leaders of the organization.

Later Alaksandar Adamovič (a Belarusian nationalist communist politician), Anton Balicki (statesman and writer), Piotar Iljučonak and Dźmitry Pryščepaŭ were viewed as such.

People like the prominent poets Janka Kupała and Jakub Kołas or the first president of the Belarusian Science Academy Usievalad Ihnatoŭski were at certain stages accused of being members of the ULB.
