Slavamir Adamovich was born on 8 March 1962 in Unezhma in the Onezhsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russian SFSR.

The official reason for his arrest was a poem he wrote in November 1995 in Russian,[1][2] titled Ubiej priezidienta (Kill the President),[1] published in the Vitebsk newspaper Vybor (Choice).

[2] After his release, during a protest in August 1997,[1][2] he demonstrated his opposition to the Belarusian authorities[2] by publicly sewing his lips shut.

He believes the reason was the blue-yellow and white-red-white ribbons he wore as a sign of solidarity with the democratic forces in Belarus and Ukraine's struggle against Russian aggression.

These collections explored themes of love, war, and homeland, written in a realist style with a lively, expressive, and vivid character.

[11] Selected works of Slavamir Adamovich have been translated into Polish by Jan Maksymiuk [pl] and published in Poland in 1998 in the collection titled Za niebokresem Europy.

He believes that the Belarusian society should form and train voluntary paramilitary units to defend the country against a possible Russian invasion.

Adamovich emphasizes that he does not maintain contacts with his literary peers due to his unique independence and infrequent stays in the country.

[7] He notes that both he and Uladzimir Nyaklyayew became widely known more for their political activities than their artistic contributions, which he considers a natural phenomenon, asserting that talent always finds something to oppose and fight against.

[3] Commenting on the terrorist attacks in Norway by Anders Breivik, Adamovich stated that they were a natural consequence of the country's internal problems, such as the large influx of immigrants, integration issues, and the native Norwegians' pursuit of a high standard of living, leading to low birth rates.

Although he condemned the attacks, Adamovich expressed the belief that Breivik was not insane but a rational person who used the act to spread his ideas and make the Norwegian society aware of these issues.

Yakovenko believes that Adamovich has entered the consciousness of Belarusians as a reckless desperado, even a weirdo, whom people have unfortunately become unaccustomed to and regard as 'abnormal', although they should be proud of such individuals.

Yakovenko portrays Adamovich as a sensitive, lyrical person, doomed to dramatic fatalism, simple, sincere, and trusting, yet capable of explosiveness in critical moments.

Yakovenko sees a similarity between Adamovich's fate and that of artist Ales Pushkin and former scholar Mikalai Prashkovich.

[11] Critic Leanid Halubovich believes that Adamovich's work is significantly influenced by his lack of contact with his literary peers.

[3] In 1996, Slavamir Adamovich received the Hliniany Viales award for his collection of poems Kakhannie pad akupatsiyaj (Love Under Occupation).
