I am dancing

Я танцую

This sincere and witty autobiographical story has a chance to reach the Belarusian reader only now. The author describes the childish worries of thirty-year-olds in an authoritarian country. The work is primarily about confronting various systems: visa, tax, border, police, violence, traditionalist, etc. And not in a teenage-punk sense, but existentially. This is a work about the struggle for happiness in modern Belarus and Germany, and a little bit - in Lithuania and Ukraine.

“I opened and closed “I Dance” several times, read it carefully, in pieces. Sometimes I cried, more often I laughed, but most of all I was afraid: how much more can I take? Well, what else will fall on the shoulders of Vicky, who just wants to live? It’s strange to look at a familiar story that happened to all of us through the eyes of another person. This book is a hymn to the right to choose one's own life, because we have only one." (Olga Gorbunova)

"For me, this is a strong and sincere book. It opened up to me young people whom I did not have time to meet on the marches. Back then, they told me how they pasted leaflets at night and built barricades from garbage cans during the day, how they slept without mattresses in the prison on Akrestsina and breathed chlorine... None of us could have imagined that killing them would become work again. Look around - there is no end to those who are happily doing this work today. Where are they from? - you ask. You want to love and dance, and under the windows - armored vehicles." (Svetlana Alexievich)
