In January 2023, the publisher Andrei Yanushkevich lost his license to do business in Belarus as part of President Lukashenko's continuing crackdown on Belarusian language, culture, and history.  He then immigrated to Poland and continued publishing Belarusian books as Knihauka.  Just a year earlier, in 2022, Yanushkevich had been arrested for the "crime" of opening a bookstore in MinskFR is the first volume of a new translation of LOTR from Engilsh into Belarusian.  Much of this history I learned after already purchasing FR from Gutenberg, which also happens to be a Polish publisher of Belarusian books.
