		The number of "officially attested" Belarusians in Poland is significantly lower than the optimistic estimates voiced by activists of Poland's Belarusian minority at various public forums in the 1980s and 1990s (from 150,000-250,000), but notably higher than the most pessimistic predictions made by the very same activists privately, in their own minority circle (10,000-20,000).

	Encyclopedia of Cleveland History:BELARUSIANS
		Belarusians (White Russians), from Eastern Europe, have settled in Cleveland at least since the last decade of the 19th century.
		Belarusian immigrants often referred to themselves as "tutejshy," which in Belarusian meant "local"; one estimate is that 2,000-3,000 Belarusians in Cleveland derived from the tutejshy, most of whom came between 1894-1905.
		Because the Cleveland Belarusian community sprang, for the most part, from the regions of Grodno and Vilna--areas where the Hramada was especially active--the appeal was strong and, not infrequently, effective.

		The 1980s and 'glasnost' saw a revival of Belarusian nationalism, though it was largely limited to an historical and cultural revival and its popularity was minimal.

		Belarusians are a wonderful, historic people—and they suffer from a woeful lack of understanding and study in the West generally and the United States in particular, even in academia.
		The Belarusian language—used as the official court language in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania—came under heavy onslaught especially from the Russians and, later, Soviets.
		With the establishment of this Center for Belarusian Studies, it is our strong wish to facilitate the revival of the Belarus nation through higher education—research, publications, exchanges, cultural events, internships, and more.
