Welcome
to Belarus!
The Republic of Belarus as an independent state
appeared on the map not long ago - only in 1991 and that is why
for many people it is still "terra incognita" though in
fact it is situated in the "heart" of Europe. It is the
land of blue lakes and green forests, vast fields among which calm
rivers carry their waters. |

Polish people, Ukrainians, Jews and representatives of many other
nationalities. Belarus occupies the territory of 207 600 sq. kilometers,
which is equal to the territory of Great Britain or Romania. The Republic

Poland in the west, Lithuania and Latvia in the north-west . |
 The
territory of Belarus is divided into six regions, each of which is divided into districts, cities and other administrative units. The main cities of Belarus are: Minsk, Gomel, Vitebsk, Mogilev, Grodno, Brest. The capital of Belarus - Minsk - has about 2 million inhabitans. The climate of the Republic is moderately continental. Average temperature in January is -6 C and in July +18 C. 550-700 mm of rainfall drop out annually. People of Belarus represent eastern and western branches of christianity. Being situated on the way from Europe to Asia, " from Varagians to Greeks ", Belarus from ancient times was considered to be a "tasty morsel" for conquerors. A lot of fiery battles took place on its territory, carrying away lives of million people. But Belarus stood all the trials and revived like Phoenix. Again and again it restored from ashes the destroyed cities and villages. Belarus
is the country with unique history and rich cultural heritage, which
is carefully preserved. The belts from ancient town of Slutsk, multi-coloured
"tile" and groove, the cross of St. Efrosinia of Polotsk,
Mark Shagal paintings and Belarusian ballet are well- known
testimony of our cultural presence in the world. |
