History
The newspaper has been published since August 9, 1927. Until 1937, it was known as Rabochy (“The Worker”). From 1937 to 2018, it was titled Soviet Belarus. In September 2018, the name was changed to Soviet Belarus — Belarus Today (SB. Belarus Today). Since 1943, the newspaper has been published in both Belarusian and Russian. In 1964, it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. Since 2000, the newspaper has been published in color format. In 2013, it was merged with four other major publications (Narodnaya Gazeta, Respublika, Selskaya Gazeta, and Znamya Yunosti) into a single media holding: Belarus Today.
Projects
In partnership with Soviet Belarus, several media projects were launched, including the newspaper Soyuz, the magazine Spetsnaz, and the English-language newspaper The Minsk Times.
The Belarus Today Publishing House also participates in a historical archival project, “Partisans of Belarus,” in cooperation with the National Archives of the Republic of Belarus. The project aims to digitize personnel records of decorated Belarusian partisans and underground resistance members, ultimately creating a publicly accessible online database enriched with newly digitized archival documents.
