metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines how the assassination of the Soviet ambassador to Poland P. Voikov in
  Warsaw on June 7, 1927 is reflected in the Belarusian historiography in the context of the
  Belarusian national liberation movement as part of interwar Poland. Currently, the widely
  known information about Voikov’s involvement in the murder of the royal family and the
  availability of unfavourable information about his character and diplomatic career have overshadowed
  the image of Voikov an ardent revolutionary and Soviet diplomat. Modern Belarusian
  authors view Voikov negatively as a person involved in the murder of the royal family,
  and as an unlucky, unscrupulous and unsuccessful diplomat. As far as the circumstances of
  Voikov’s assassination are concerned, Belarusian authors address the ethnicity and ideological
  and political beliefs of his killer, B. Koverda; they disagree with his interpretation as a Russian
  emigrant, a member of the White Guard and monarchist. There are opposing views regarding
  his commitment to the Belarusian revolutionary liberation ideals. The article presents
  the main motives of the murder of Voikov, including the version about the involvement of
  the Soviet special services in his elimination, which is confirmed by the archival documents
  identified by the author. Archival documents reveal the existence of contradictions within the
  community of representatives of Soviet political, diplomatic, and intelligence structures in
  Poland, which could also have led to the physical elimination of P. Voikov.
