A new Belarusian translation has been begun and Fellowship is out. It is being published by Knihauka, aka Yanushkevich Publishing, in Warsaw, Poland. It's also available through another Belarusian bookseller in Kraków, Poland, Gutenberg, for a few złoty more. I ordered my copy through Gutenberg before I knew the story of the publisher.
In January 2023, the publisher Andrei Yanushkevich lost his license to do business in Belarus as part of President Lukashenko's continuing crackdown on Belarusian language, culture, and history. He then emigrated to Poland and continued publishing Belarusian books as Knihauka. Just a year earlier, in 2022, Yanushkevich had been arrested for the "crime" of opening a bookstore that featured Belarusian books in Minsk. Both Gutenberg and Knihauka specialize in producing and selling Belarusian books in Poland.
The volume is well made with a solid hardcover binding, good-quality paper, green ribbon, and easy-to-read Cyrillic font.
