Да праблемы развiцця беларускай духоўнай паэзii: творчасць Зьнiча (Алега Бембеля)

The article analyses the biographical and creative path of Znicz, the Belarusian poet, philosopher and conservatory graduate. His poems consistently express spiritual search, which is characterized by the author’s dominant theocentric worldview (in 1996 Aleh Biembiel took the monastic vows of Zhyrovichy Monastery). Znicz’s poetry continues the excellent tradition of his great predecessors – ascetics and penitents. His poetry reveals the pursuit of reconciliation on the basis of unquestionable millennium-old Christian values with the fundamental values of the nation state, especially within the understanding of the concept of patriotism.
