Belarus

Belarus is a landlocked country of dense forests, flat plains, and slow-moving rivers that stretch across the heart of Eastern Europe. Collectivised farms still pattern much of the countryside, and Soviet-era architecture defines its cities as decisively as older Orthodox churches do. Daily life moves at a measured pace, caught between a Soviet inheritance and a quiet, distinct national culture.

About Belarus

Overview

Belarus borders Russia to the east, Ukraine to the south, Poland to the west, and Lithuania and Latvia to the north. Minsk, the capital, was almost entirely rebuilt after the Second World War and carries that history in its broad boulevards and monumental architecture. Belarusian and Russian are both official languages; the currency is the Belarusian ruble. The country's identity is shaped by its position as a crossroads between Slavic East and Central European West.
