Answer the following question: A friend asked me to answer this question: Whose work was devoted to awakening an awareness of the catastrophes the country suffered?, using the article: The Belarusian government sponsors annual cultural festivals such as the Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk, which showcases Belarusian performers, artists, writers, musicians, and actors.
