Life
Shylunovich worked in Saint Petersburg and took part in the revolution of 1905/1907 . From 1904 he belonged to the Belarusian Socialist Hramada and from 1908 wrote for the newspaper Nascha Niwa . In 1913 he was in close contact with authors of the Pravda newspaper . In the same year the publishing house The Sun Shine in Our Window published the first volume of Schylunowitsch's works. In 1917 he joined the Belarusian National Committee and in June of the same year chaired the Hramada. On February 14, 1918, Shylunovich became a member of the Belarusian National Commissariat of the Government of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic in Moscow and worked as secretary of the commissariat and as the author of the press organ Dzjannitsa . In October 1918, Shylunovich became a member of the Russian Communist Party . On January 1, 1919, he became President of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Workers and Peasants of the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic and, as such, had to negotiate with the Government of the Belarusian People's Republic .
He later worked as a cultural politician, writer and critic. His main work, the novel Saps des Neulands (1914/1929) dealt with the development of revolutionary consciousness in the Belarusian people. His stories from the 1920s tell of the events of the Russian civil war and the development of new ways of life in Belarus.
He held high-ranking positions in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in Belarus and from 1928 he was a member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus
In 1931 he was expelled from the party and arrested in 1936 on charges of being an “ enemy of the people ”. In 1937, he committed suicide in prison as a result of a mental breakdown.
Although Shylunovich was a staunch socialist with a closeness to communist ideas, he was nonetheless a supporter of the Belarusian national movement and devoted himself to the Belarusian statehood as an independent nation.
A street in Minsk was named after him.
