Many realities of the Belarusian culture have become symbols of the national originality. Slutsk belts, multicolored glazed tiles, traceries and carvings, the Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk, artistic works by Marc Chagall and the Belarusian ballet are the most widely know evidence of our cultural presence in this world.  

Belarusians have done a great deal for Russian culture and science: first Ivan Fedorov and Peter Mstislavets, Russian printers, Samoila Petrovski-Simonovitch- Simeon Polotski.

Belarusians have created quite an extremely rich multigenre folklore. An outstanding galaxy of the Belarusian enlighteners includes Euphrosyne of Polotsk and Kirill Turovsky, first printer and creator of the first printed Bible in the East-Slavonic region Frantsysk Skaryna, his followers Vasily Tyapinsky and Symon Budny, poets Nikolai Gussovsky Polotsky.

Literature has become the basis of culture with its classics formed by Vincent Dunin-Martsinkevich, Frantishek Bagushevich, Elaisa Tsiotka-Pashkevich, Maxim Bagdanovich, Maxim Garetsky, Yanka Kupala and Yakub Kolas.
