Abstract

The article explores the dynamics of the formation of the image of Belorussia on the German
mental map with a consideration of the German occupation policies during the First and Second
World Wars. The author suggests that in 1915–18 the Germans tried to “invent” Belorussia in order
to overcome the lack of knowledge about this region and, on the other hand strove to gain this “new
land” and its population to ensure their own superiority in the East. It seems that the Kaiserreich was
indeed tolerant to the profound cultural differences and sought to make use of the local regionalism
in geopolitical sense. On the contrary, in the Nazi Germany the cultural differences were initially
rejected in favor of the “master race”. In this respect, Belarusians were considered only as a mean
to support of the forthcoming colonization. In the author’s opinion, there is much less continuity
between the German war policies in the East in 1915−18 and 1941−44 than is generally accepted.
