Additional information

Kandrat Krapiva — pen name of Kandrat Mikhailovich Atrakhovitch — was one of the most politically durable writers of Soviet Belarus, navigating Stalinist cultural purges that destroyed contemporaries while continuing to publish satirical fables and drama through the 1930s and beyond. His survival owed something to the perceived harmlessness of fable as a genre, though his targets were rarely as distant as they appeared. He died in 1991 at 93, having outlasted the Soviet system he spent decades quietly needling.

This coin was issued as part of Belarus's long-running series honoring national literary figures.
