I'm just as suprised as you are that I uploaded two days in a row.
The Belarusian Central Council (Belarusian: Беларуская цэнтральная рада, romanized: Biełaruskaja centralnaja rada; German: Weißruthenischer Zentralrat) was a puppet administrative body in German-occupied Belarus during World War II. It was established by Germany within Reichskommissariat Ostland in 1943-44, following requests by collaborationist Belarusian politicians hoping to create a Belarusian state with German support.
The Belarusian Central Council only had a limited role in governing, with the key decisions being taken by the German administration of the Generalbezirk Weißruthenien. The Council mostly managed social affairs as well as culture and education. The Council had twelve departments including: Education, science and culture; Propaganda and press; Social security; Finance; Youth affairs; Religion; Control; Administrative issues; Economy; National minorities; and Home Defence.
The Belarusian Central Council oversaw the activities of Belarusian civic organisations established earlier with German permission including: Union of Belarusian Youth; Belarusian Scientific Society; Belarusian Cultural Association; Belarusian Self-Help; and labour unions. The Council managed to widen the usage of the Belarusian language in schools and in public life, worked on the opening of a university.
Lyrics:
Бывай, мой родны кут i зьвяз!
Бывайце вы, лугi i гонi!
Iду ад вас апошнi раз
Пад знакам слаўнае Пагонi.
Пад знакам слаўнае Пагонi.
За волю ў бой жыцьцё заве,
Мае змагарныя дарогi.
Купальскай кветкi не сарве
Нiхто ў душы мне без трывогi.
Нiхто ў душы мне без трывогi.
Я сам пайду за край, народ
Упорна песьняй роднай, звонкай,
Пад буру жудкiх непагод,
Мяне што мучаць i старонку.
Мяне што мучаць i старонку.
Мо лягу дзесьцi я ў далi
Пад небам хмарным цi сьсiнелым, --
Паўстануць тысячы зь зямлi
Пад сьцягам бел-чырвона-белым!
Пад сьцягам бел-чырвона-белым!
Бывай, мой родны кут i зьвяз!
Бывайце вы, лугi i гонi!
Хай бачу ў лучнасьцi я вас,
Пад сьцягам слаўнае Пагонi!
Пад сьцягам слаўнае Пагонi!
