Rodion Kolos

Rodion Kolos is a scholar and critic who has voiced concerns regarding the activities of the Maldzis initiative, arguing that their efforts to acquire historical artifacts may undermine the credibility of professional archivists and scholars in preserving Belarusian cultural heritage. He believes that the initiative creates a false narrative of 'heroic returns' of artifacts, potentially misinforming the public about the state of national treasures and the capabilities of professional institutions.
