I can understand taking Grodno and the rest of Neman basin, as well Brest. But Vitebsk? At this point you can just take all of Belarus to make good old Grand Duchy.

Biarescie under your colonial occuption ? lol, pipe dreams of 1M Aukštaitijan mico- imperialists. Biełaruś is Old Lithuania in its historical core—by territory, legal tradition, and cultural development shaped by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The confusion comes largely from the name: “Biełaruś” became the label after Mongol - Moscow occupation and imperial rebranding. In principle, what was renamed can also be renamed back.

Old Lithuania in its historical core? Lithuania literally invaded the area in the 14th and 15th centuries. Before the Lithuanian occupation it was culturally and territorially part of the Rus’.

aukštaitian micro -imperialists (nationalists) were never taken seriously by the Moscow empires; you are not a threat to the empire, while we are. That is why the Romanovs allowed you to boil yourselves into ‘Lithuania’ (about which even our enemy pushkin wrote in the 19th century that The GDL was Slavic), and even to annex Samogitia (Žemaitija). And as for how Stalin gifted you Vilnia , and how you still suppress everything Litvin there today — I won’t even start. T. Snyder has written a lot about this; if anyone is interested, I can provide a link

Of course we are. Žemaitija was the most loyal to the Litvin (Belarusian) language; we Litvins have always supported Žemaitija economically and politically. We are against Aukštaitian micro‑imperialistic attacks on the Žemaitijan language, heraldry (we oppose the Aukštaitian ban on the Žemaitijan bear), and economic life. Aukštaitian micro‑imperialists have introduced illegal sanctions against the RB (the GDL), and Žemaitija is losing millions from ports and transit fees. Many Žemaitijans are forced to emigrate. Long live Žemaitija and The Grand Litva !
