He was the one, in 1919 and 1920, to establish diplomatic relations with the governments of Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. A year after the outbreak of the First World War, Belarus was divided by the frontline between German and Russian armies. In late 1918 and early 1919, Belarus was invaded by Poles, who remained there until the summer of 1920. Ezovitov's current book contained a compilation of official materials, documenting that turbulent period in Belarusian history and that country struggles for independence. (Inventory #: 001577)
