Национальный вопрос в контексте научно-педагогического и творческого наследия А. П. Сапунова и В. К. Стукалича

Abstract

The article is dedicated to A. P. Sapunov and V. K. Stukalich, well-known social and political figures of Vitebsk province of the late XIX – first quarter of the XX century, whose research activity had a significant impact on Belarusian historiography and the formation of national consciousness. Having passed the way from zapadnorusizm to understanding of the uniqueness of the Belarusians, based on archival and ethnographic materials the scientists in their works of the early XX century refuted the concepts of non-historicity of the Belarusian people.
