Not long ago, an unfinished novella “Blindage” (written by Vasily Bykov back in 1987) was found in Vasily Bykov’s home archive. In 2007, the journal “Dzejasloŭ” (Minsk) published this novella as a separate book. It was prepared for publication by Ales Pashkevich. He arranged the text and “assembled” a plan of the concluding sections from the author’s draft sketches.
