"Пагоня" (Pahonia) - Belarusian Patriotic Song

The poem "Pahonia" was written by Maksim Bahdanovič in 1916 in Minsk. The music was written by Belarusian composer and immigrant activist Mikalay Shchahlou-Kulikovich.
In the early 1990s, Shchahlou-Kulikovich's version was considered as one of the options for the national anthem of the Republic of Belarus. In 2020, under the patronage of Anton Miaža a choral performance of the anthem was recorded with an orchestra accompaniment.
In 2020, the anthem resurged in popularity as one of the symbols of the 2020 Belarusian protests against the Lukashenka regime, along with the white-red-white flag. The anthem was spontaneously performed in several public places: near the Belarusian State Philharmonic, in malls, in the Minsk subway, at the Minsk Kamaroŭski Market, and at the Minsk railway station.
