21ORigiNs OF tHE BElARusiAN NAtiONof the 15th century the concept “Be-laya Rus” (White Rus) (geographi-cally and ethnically) was associated with the lands of Polotsk (Polack) area, which were parts of the Great Duchy of Lithuania. In the 1st half of the 16th century the Polish histo-rian M. Kromer in his works “His-tory of Poles” (1555) and “Poland” (1575) was the first to use the term “Belaya Rus” (Bielaja Ruś) only re-lated to the territory of modern Belarus. Then M.
