Stockholm - Belarussian writer and dissident Svetlana Alexievich won the 2015 Nobel Literature Prize on Thursday for her work chronicling the horrors of war and life under the repressive Soviet regime.


The Swedish Academy hailed the 67-year-old for writings that were "a monument to suffering and courage in our time" -- tableaux of World War II, Chernobyl and the war in Afghanistan, crafted through thousands of interviews.


Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko congratulated Alexievich for her win, though none of her books is published in her home country amid what the author has described as "a creeping censorship".


"By means of her extraordinary method -- a carefully composed collage of human voices -- Alexievich deepens our comprehension of an entire era Nike KD 9 Australia ," the Nobel academy said.


The author dedicated the prize to her native Belarus.


"It's not an award for me but for our culture, for our small country, which has been caught in a grinder throughout history," she told reporters in Minsk, adding that history showed there was no place for compromise when faced with oppression.


"In our time, it is difficult to be an honest person Nike KD 8 Australia ," she said. "There is no need to give in to the compromise that totalitarian regimes always count on."


In separate comments to daily Svenska Dagbladet, she said the prize would help the fight for freedom of expression in Belarus and Russia.


"I think my voice will carry more weight now... It won't be so easy for those in power to dismiss me with a wave of the hand anymore. They will have to listen to me," she said.


But she tore into Russia under President Vladimir Putin.


"I love the Russian world, but the kind, humane Russian world," she said.


"I do not love Beria Nike KD 7 Australia , Stalin, Putin... how low they let Russia sink," she said, referring to the former Soviet leader and his head of the secret police.


Late Thursday, Belarus's Lukashenko congratulated her on her award.
