Life

Ales Dudar was born on December 24, 1904 as Aljaksandr Aljaksandrawitsch Dajlidowitsch. In 1917 the family moved to Minsk, where Dudar graduated from school in 1921. In the same year he published his first poem "Prėč z darohi" (Out of the way!) In the newspaper " Sawjezkaja Belarus ". As a result, his works appeared more frequently in Belarusian newspapers and magazines. In 1923 he joined the Maladnjak Writers' Union, an association of young writers that included Michas Tscharot , Michas Sarezki , Andrej Aleksandrovich and Anatol Wolny . Dudar was one of the leading figures of the Maladnjak, so he founded and headed the Vitebsk regional group . In addition, he met the poet Natallja Vishneuskaya, whom he married in 1927.

Dudar began studying at the literary and linguistic department of the Pedagogical Faculty of the Belarusian State University (BDU), but had to give it up a short time later for political reasons after he and other writers were accused of "Belarusian chauvinism" among other things. Together with Sarezki and Alexandrovich, he wrote a letter to the editors of the "Savetskaya Belarus", in which he announced that it was impossible for Belarusian writers to stay at the BDU. In 1928 he, like Tscharot, Sarezki and Wolny, left the Maladnjak association and joined the newly founded writers' association Polymja (Flame). In the same year he was exiled to Smolensk for three years for the poem "Pasekli naš kraj papalam ..." (Our country has been chopped into two parts ...) . After his return he became involved again in the literary life of Belarus, and in 1934 he joined the BSSR Writers' Union . He was arrested again on October 31, 1936 and executed almost exactly a year later, on October 29, 1937. His rehabilitation took place in 1957.
