Belarusian Christian Democracy
The Belarusian Christian Democracy (Belarusian: Беларуская хрысьціянская дэмакратыя, romanized: Bielaruskaja chryścijanskaja demakratyja; Russian: Белорусская христианская демократия, romanized: Belorusskaya khristianskaya demokratiya; BCD or BKhD) is a Christian-democratic political party in Belarus, established in 2005. The party positions itself as a continuation of an identically named movement, which existed at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Belarusian Christian democratic movement was created in the early 20th century mostly by Belarusian theology students and seminarians. The Christian democratic circle in Vilna was publishing the weekly newspaper Biełarus.
In 1917 Belarusian political activists in St. Petersburg created the first Belarusian Christian democratic political organization - the Belarusian Christian Democratic Union (Belarusian: Беларуская хрысьціянска-дэмакратычная злучнасьць, romanized: Biełaruskaja chryścijanska-demakratyčnaja złunaść). Among the founders of the BCDU were the priests Adam Stankievič and Vincent Hadleŭski.
Christian democrats participated in the First All-Belarusian Congress in December 1917 and took an active part in preparation for the establishment of the independent Democratic Republic of Belarus in 1918.
On November 6, 1927, on the basis of the BCDU a new political party was created in Wilno under the name The Belarusian Christian Democracy. Since then the party was active in West Belarus. While most of the other West Belarusian political parties were leftist or even pro-Soviet, the BCD was center-right.
After the unification of West Belarus with the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic, many leaders and members of the BCD became victims to Soviet repressions or were killed by Nazis during the later Occupation of Belarus by Nazi Germany. Practically, the party ceased all activities in 1939. During the Soviet times, information about the BCD as well as all other non-communist political organizations were kept in secret, with only state-approved historians having access to relevant archives. [citation needed]
The first attempt to re-establish the BCD took place in 1991. All relevant documents for re-establishment were prepared, but the movement was never registered then.
In 2005 a group of democratic activists created an initiative group to revive the Christian democratic party under the name Belarusian Christian Democracy. It opposes the policies of President Alexander Lukashenko.
