During WWII he fought as a partisan; this experience became the basis for Khatyn.
After WWII he went on to receive his PhD in philology from Belarusian State University and also took graduate courses in directing and screenwriting at the prestigious Moscow film school VKSR. Adamovich was a professor and a member of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences. As a result of refusing to testify against his colleagues and to sign letters condemning political dissidents he was barred from teaching at Moscow State University. However, he was a member of many public and professional unions. In 1989 he was one of the first writers to join the Belorussian PEN Center, and in 1994 the Center instituted the Ales Adamovich Literary Prize.
Ales Adamovich's works are still read widely and his legacy continues to be an important milestone in Belorussian history. His fiction and non-fiction titles make a profound case against the necessity of war, and are a testament to the kind of knowledge and wisdom being vastly sought after today.
