Belarusian patriotic creative center in Minsk. It consisted mainly of artists and art historians. It existed in 1966-1985.

It was formed around Yevhen Kulik's workshop "Na Poddashku", which was located on the main avenue of Minsk, opposite the KGB building. Levon Borazna, Zyanon Pazniak, Genadz Sokolau-Kubai, Mihas Cherniauski, Mihas Romanyuk, Ales Razanov, Zmitser Sanko, Viktor Markovets, Ales Marachkin gathered in the workshop as a discussion club. The practical result of the discussions was the art exhibitions timed to the jubilee dates of Belarusian culture.

The most significant actions are the exhibition for the centenary of the birth of Alaiza Pashkevich (Aunt) in 1976 and the exhibition for the anniversary of Mykola Husouski in 1980. At the latter, despite the active opposition of the Soviet authorities, artists were able to exhibit works with the traditional Belarusian national coat of arms, the Pursuit.

In the 1980s, the Soviet authorities cracked down on members of the circle, including through dismissals and increased censorship. Despite this, the center continued its cultural and educational activities: exhibitions, meetings, and debates were organized. Among other things, the 100th anniversary of Kazimir Malevich, the anniversaries of Vaclav Lastowski and Joseph Drozdovich were celebrated here. With the change in the political situation in Belarus, the artists of the circle formed the core of the patriotic artistic community "Pagonia".
