A literary evening marking the 80th birthday of Uladzimir Niakliaeu<\/strong> took place on July 11 in the courtyard of the Ossolineum National Institute in Wroclaw. Friends, colleagues, readers, and representatives of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus led by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya<\/strong> gathered to congratulate one of Belarus’s most celebrated poets and writers.<\/p>\n

Niakliaeu was in high spirits throughout the evening, joking with the audience and generously complimenting his guests.<\/p>\n

One of the poet’s witty remarks quickly spread online after Tsikhanouskaya congratulated him with a kiss.<\/p>\n

“I remembered that I once kissed Brezhnev. Well, I can tell you\u2014it was nothing like this!”<\/em> the writer joked, before adding: “Let’s elect women\u2014and then we’ll have someone worth kissing!”<\/em><\/p>\n
