Background

Belarus is a former Soviet Union republic which became an independent country in 1991. It is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordering Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. The population of Belarus is 10 million people, with 2 million living in the capital, Minsk. In the past, Belarus has experienced centuries of invasion and conquest; between 1941 and 1944 the country was occupied by the Nazis, and lost 2.2 million people, including most of its large Jewish population. Due to the fact that every 4th person died during the war, Belarusians have a strong sense of the loss of their loved ones even today.

Belarus is a land with an ancient history. The first settlements appeared on the territory of modern Belarus in the Sixth and Seventh Centuries. In the Ninth and Tenth Centuries, they became the part of the Kievan Rus. Belarus changed patrons so many times such as the Great Princedom of Lithuania, Rech Pospolita, and the Russian Empire. Then it became one of the republics of the USSR. In July 1990, The Head Council of the republic passed the Declaration of Independence.

Today the President is the Head of the State in Belarus. The main legislative body is the National Assembly which consists of two houses: the Council of the Republic and the House of Representatives.

Due to being part of the USSR, Belarus became one of the founders of the UNO. Since 1996 (already on its own) it is the Member of the European Council.

Belarus was formerly known as “White Russia” and is located between Russia and Poland bordering Ukraine to the south.
It is a country of wide plains, deep dark forests and over ten thousand lakes. There are also large tracts of wild, desolate marshland. Everywhere, the land is relatively flat with three major rivers running through it. These are the Neman, the Pripyat, and the Dnepr. The Dnepr river flows southward towards the Black Sea, whilst both the Neman and the Pripyat flow eastward and into the Dnepr.
The forests cover over one third of Belarus’s 80,000 square miles (about the same size as the state of Kansas or Great Britain). They are incredibly beautiful and mysterious places where birches, oaks, maple and pines provide shelter for European bison, bears, wolves, lynx, elk and deer. Where the forest ends, the tourist will find picturesque villages and historical monuments in the form of churches, monasteries and castles that date back to the twelfth century.
