A Belarusian Exile's Daily Return Home Through Portals
Original: I'm in Exile, and I Go Home Every Day https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/opinion/exile-displacement-belarus-portals.html
A New York Times opinion essay explores the experience of Belarusian exile through the idea of returning home every day despite displacement. The author, forced out of Belarus, uses the concept of 'portals' to describe how exiles remain emotionally connected to a country they cannot physically re-enter. The piece reflects on the wider condition of Belarusians displaced by the political situation and questions what exile and belonging mean when home remains out of reach.
Why now: The political displacement of Belarusians remains a live human rights concern, and the essay's framing of daily 'return' resonates with exiled communities.
