Frantishek Olekhnovich
Frantishek Olekhnovich (1883—1944) was a prominent Belarusian playwright and a pivotal figure in modern Belarusian drama and theater. Known as the 'father of modern Belarusian dramaturgy,' he contributed significantly to the cultural landscape of Belarus through his plays, prose, and publicistic works. His notable work, 'In the Clutches of the GPU,' is one of the earliest artistic narratives of a person who experienced Soviet labor camps, providing a crucial historical document of the era. Olekhnovich was tragically murdered during World War II, an event that shocked the Belarusian community in Vilnius and led to a grand, mournful funeral that became a significant moment in the public life of Belarusians under German occupation.
