1. 1. Alindarka's Children

   Things Will Be Bad

   

   Set in a dystopian world where language is a tool of oppression, the story follows siblings Aliaksandr and Alina as they navigate a camp designed to erase their native Belarusian language and replace it with Russian. The siblings, separated by the camp's sinister regime, embark on a journey of resistance and self-discovery, driven by the power of words and the deep-seated desire to preserve their cultural identity. As they encounter a cast of eccentric characters and face the camp's authoritarian forces, the narrative explores themes of linguistic heritage, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of cultural erasure.
