🕯️ HONEST CONTEXT — European Humanities University is itself a living document of repression and resilience. Founded in MINSK, BELARUS in 1992 as an independent humanities university, EHU was FORCED TO CLOSE BY THE LUKASHENKO REGIME IN 2004 due to its independent and pro-democratic orientation. In 2005 it relocated to VILNIUS, LITHUANIA and re-established as a Belarusian 'UNIVERSITY-IN-EXILE' — continuing to educate Belarusian students (and others) who cannot study freely under the authoritarian government in Belarus. Approximately 1,500 students (many Belarusian, studying in person in Vilnius or remotely). Teaching primarily in Russian and Belarusian, with English-medium options. EHU is internationally supported as a refuge for Belarusian academic freedom — its very existence connects to the documented repression of higher education under the Belarusian government (see also AlmiStudy Belarus entries). 🔧 controlType corrected from collector's 'Public' to 'Private'.
