Belarusian minority in the 2002 Polish National Census

Tomasz Czapko



Abstract

The 2002 Polish National Census has shown that Belarusian minority in Poland consists of nearly 50,000 members. Although, the exact determination of number of Belarusians in Poland is diffi cult, because of various historical, social and economical reasons, which cause that open declarations of Belarusian identity are not common among the Belarusians. Traditional identifying Belarusian nationality with Orthodox Christianity should be considered with caution, because relatively small amount of Orthodox population in the eastern part of Bialystok region decided to declare other than Polish nationality.
