Yakub Kolas Cultural Center Established in VilniaA Yakub Kolas Cultural Center has been established in Vilnia (Vilnius, Lithuania).A building to accommodate the center will be constructed where the house of the great Belarusian writer's wife, Maryya Kamenskaya, had once stood, said Khvedar Nyunka, chairman of the Belarusian Culture Society in Lithuania who is director of the center. The house was demolished after World War II, and most of the surrounding land was distributed to private owners, he said. Mr. Nyunka noted that he had pressed the city government to hand over its part of the land to the Belarusian Culture Society for more than two decades. To secure a favorable decision, the Society first established a Yakub Kolas Museum, then drew up a detailed plan of the 0.4-acre land plot, and finally signed an agreement with the mayor on the establishment of the Yakub Kolas Cultural Center. The Society now needs to draw up a catastral plan of the land plot, Mr. Nyunka said. The main problem now is to find a sponsor in Belarus who would finance the construction project and the operation of the center, he added.
