I will be in Minsk in just 10 days! I am going for four weeks and am very excited to visit Belarus! I was in Kiev last year and loved my time spent there. I'm hoping I will have a similar experience in Minsk )))
@eMisjaTv Whether he's so good I can't say, but I'll wholeheartedly agree that he's certainly no worse than the people behind the IMF and the west and everything else. At least he doesn't go around violating Greece, Portugal and the occasional chambermaid.
im from there, i left when i was 8 years old, im 13 now. i live in canada. i dont really miss it. with the president it has right now, my home country is going to crash and burn. sad but true.
@twilightrocks1111 At the moment it seems to be the only place NOT crashing and burning. Strange but true. And not even that strange if you know what's really going on behind the scenes in our part of the world. As long as Lukashenko keeps thumbing his nose at certain international institutions, there's more hope for your country than you think...
@usenetposts its my country too. the economy is already feeling it. you may think that just because im only 13 that i cant see it. but myt family back there says its terrible. theres no food in the stores and they arent getting payed. its honestly bad there.
What the heck language is this song? It doesn't sound Slavic, it sounds kinda English but it makes no sense at all... sounds like someone made a Mongolian country western beepop song.
@Ambiduros What you say is true. But I just take it as a bit of a pastiche (which is how you spell pisstake in Italian) of the way so many pop songs contain mangled English. I dare say understandable English would not have been beyond them had that been their intention. English is not a secret, even in Belarus!
@Ambiduros I'm no stay-at-home, and heady Is the quest and venture mode Road is there for me to tread it All-dimensional road Round I go Desperate to reach new horizons Circles grow But you You're my pier Center in my life My Galileo I rotate to you I'm here Wind is high and branches rattle On the shattered window pane And the dust has not yet settled I'm leaving again (that's what I got from Google, but you're right, I'd never have deciphered it.)
I've been to Belarus twice now, and I can't wait to go again and again and again!!! High education standards, cleanest streets, and the most honest people on earth. Long live the true socialist Belarus !
I found your comment very intriguing. I am a Canadian who loves travelling to Eastern Europe and have flirted with the idea of going to Belarus. Is it a safe city? Is it very expensive? How difficult is it to visit there if you only speak English?
@TurnerEckhardt It is ultra safe, and the people are the most honest people I have met in my entire life. In Belarus, there is no racism, no hatred, and no judging. You can manage with English. As for the cost, train to any city to belarus is not more than 5 USD, 5 star dinner for one person would be around 20 USD maximum. Only tricky part is that you need to find an agency from there to arrange you the documents in order to get the visa, basically straightforward.
@undrapeaunoir That should get easier. I will say that there's a lot of potential for people to live well in that country. There are tales of how people had their mercedes benz "confiscated" by high ranking police on tenuous pretexts, but I also know a lot has been done to clear up that sort of thing, more than in Russia which has gone back the other way a bit, it appears. For an ordinary person wanting to go there with something to offer, like the teaching of skills, there's nothing to fear.
@usenetposts ok corruption scandals are pretty much in every country. But truth be told, Belarusians are among the happiest people to meet. Even if it's not ultra luxurious country, the average standards of living are way higher than many western european countries I could count (and believe me I've seen around 25 countries in the world). I used to think that Belarus is an obscure country until I went there physically, then I realized that it is a country just like any country.
@undrapeaunoir I think to say that it's a country like any other is to overlook the fact that certain things are done there are certain way. Take the straightness of the motorways - no other European country has such a long road that follows a completely straight line, just check on the map. That's very convenient for most people, but was fairly draconian if you didn't want to have your farm/home put somewhere else by the Government. Also you may know they sent AIDS sufferers to Solegorsk...
@usenetposts ... to a closed community where they would live and could carry on having sex but only with other AIDS infected people. So you can see the practical side, but again, a bit draconian if you were an AIDs infected person planning on living in your old place. Most people are benefited by these tactics, but they do mean that when push comes to shove the country bears more similarity to a Chinese way of doing things than your usual European country. I'm not saying it's always a bad thing.
@usenetposts I do not know about the AIDS issue you mentioned (note I am not from there). I would honestly say that it is even better than other countries. If building straight roads (thus relocating lands) is such a draconian thing, then what do you consider of Sarkozy wanting to throw away gypsies in France? Or Belgium where the police killed an autistic turkish man INSIDE prison. I live in Belgium and people are 10 times less happy than in Belarus.
I appreciate the info! Which city outside of Minsk would you most recommend? I noticed you mentioned how cheap it is to dine there - that is in direct contrast to what I have read. Which restaurants would you most recommend?
Anyway, thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge!
@TurnerEckhardt The only city outside of Minsk I've been to was Baranovichi, it was in winter so I couldn't really check much of it. As for Minsk, I remember many classy restaurants with very nice wine collections, many inside the hotel (Hotel Belarus), and there was one I remember that had a soviet atmosphere where the name was "Tovarish=comrade". There was a very fancy restaurant called Dame de Pique, but I didn't have the chance to go there. Damn, you just made me want to go there again :)
Haha! Once again, very interesting reply. Last email and I'll stop teasing you about Belarus :) Out of curiosity, what is one thing about Minsk you did not expect and what is one thing someone new to Minsk should know about the city before they go?
Again, thank you for your time and happy holidays!
@tangchenbo2008 OK, you have your free expression of opinion, but I still don't see anyone telling me what's rude about them. How anyone can be dismissed as rude in their own country is beyond me. The default culture in a place is determined by its occupants, and the rude ones are the ones who don't conform.
Eg. In China, if someone complements me, I should say "na li, na li" meaning "it's not true". For them, it's rude to accept a complement by thanking, but not rude to call the giver a liar!
Belarus super. And we spat on europa and amerika-so much lies about us tell. And so we have taken away our Belarus city Belostok which Polska.Но for historical persecutions with you ...........
I heard the Minsk was a city built by communists and deadly boring, so I was shocked when I went there - so many parks, nice buildings, and easy going friendly people.
What else can I say. It's very cheap, and where you are harassed by the police every day on Moscow, I wasn't harassed by anyone in any way for the month I stayed there.
Hello, I am from Peru but live in Norway. I just being there and also traveled a lot in Europe. In my opinion its one of the most beautefull citys in the all Europa. One thing is to look at pictures like France or Italy but something else to be there and enyoy the pace, beauty, order clean, fluent traffik, etc etc. I LOVE MINSK :)
A word of advice if you visit Belarus. Stay away from White Stork Vodka its not like the cats pee they sell in the west. It will floor anybody but the most hard nosed of alcos.
Between Russia and Belarus is huge difference. Russia became the toilet without order, if you visit Moscow you can not find there Russian people, only asian bastards and others, Russian living in Moscow also almost all are bastards without moral, corrupt also. Belarus is the only one normal land from former Soviet-Union, there is order, normal governement and normal people, not animals like in Moscow.
There are plenty of decent people in Moscow too. There has just been an increase in non-decent ones in the last several years. Blame the big krysha compnies who bring them in for cheap labour. Under the Soviet Union, not everyone was permitted to move to Moscow. Now there is freedom, and that's what you get. If you give freedom to people, they tend to turn up and use it.
Im from Czech republic and I love Belarussia.I have a step family in Smorgon and Zalesie.On Summer Holiday i was in Belarussia two weeks..People in Belarus are very friendly and incorrupt as compared to other country and largely along Czech people...You are the best nation and love you.You must NOT!! join at Evropean union (EU) YOU MUST CONSERVE YOUR POLITICS
iv been to belaruse 4 times staying a month a time minsk has soem great night life as well as places to go during the day ,its not the biggets tourist attraction because they have not pushed it , and the woman are some of the best looking in the world ,give it time and it will be another partying place to go when it is promoted and people realise how cheap it is got the best under ground go visit an make your own mind up ...
haahahaha why do Americans soo hostile to us?XD do we have anything to share??
Greets to Canada,Portugal,Italy and all the people,who are out of steriotypes!!!
p.s. and nope,we don't need to stay 3 hours in a line to buy bread!hahahaha You will not believe,but we also have got a color TV!hahahahahah (that was irony)
Belorussia behind the times country where highest corruption is in whole europe! Belorussians it alcoholics and thiefs with their presidents at the head Lukashenko! In to silly president dick four ass. Fuck off Lukashenko !!!
Not enough ppl laughing, not enough sun, not enough beaches, not enough leisure, not enough young ppl, not enough modern buildings, not enough good sports... looks like a good city for old and boring ppl.
I would have thought that the people who do nothing but laugh their heads off in the sun all day and do sports are the boring ones, but it's all a question of viewpoint. I'm convinced there are plenty of sports facilities in Belarus.
Basically what I mean is that you cant have fun in Minsk as you could somewhere else as in australia, new zealand, brazil, south africa...Its a cold country, worldwide unknown, with an old population, and empty/boring streets. May be a good place for old ppl searching for a calm place, but thats not what I look for.
na ive been to Oz,south america, Canada, Sweden, netherlands etc and the ex soviet countries have been the most fun for me by far. Going to Belarus next month and cant wait. Check out some of my videos to see the fun you can have. They're fun in their own different way.
When you go to Pushkinskaya by the Orbita Hotel, you will find an entrance to the Underground and you can travel to the Center of the City and enjoy the Opera House and many other very beautiful parts of Minsk-
I love Belarus-
I am Religious, Anti-Communst and Belarus is NOT a totatlitarian country; it is NOT a Dictatorship, and it is NOT the "old Soviet Union.
Anything that you read from Western Media is typically incorrect--as it is Incorrect about USA, too
Ah ha! I see the infamous Palace of Culture at 0:36, where Lee Harvey Oswald met Marina Prusakova at a Trade Union Dance in 1961, and married her two months later. DID you go in there? Is it fancy? I cannot find pictures of the interior anywhere. IS that something they talk about (Lee meeting Marina there) or no? Too, his apartment, in some big fancy building was not far from here. However, I doubt any tour would mention this. Just curious.
Ah, I see. Yes, in '61, he went with some college students to a dance (he was bored, nothing else to do in Minsk at that time, where he was employed at a Radio & TV assembly plant -oh, I wonder if THAT is still there!) - and Marina was there too with her then-sort-of boyfriend Anatoly something-or-other. Apparently there were columns and sparkling chandeliers, it sounded pretty romantic (at least, as far as the Lee Oswald story goes...) Thanks for replying!
There's a lot more to Minsk than just the fact that an Infamous Whack-O named Oswald just happened to have resided there, on the Tab of the Soviet Government and the International Red Cross-
he hardly took care of his own wife and daughters, the Moron-
But, yes, there happens to be a photo of Two British School Teachers from August of '61, parked with their Singer Auto and UK license plates, speaking with a "curious young man with an American accent-" who later turned out to be LHO
Oh, I am sure there is more to it - I am embarrassed to say I only JUST learned "Balarus" is pronounced "Bella -ROOSE." THAT is how little I know about the Iron Curtain...and yes, I have seen the (color!) photos of Lee with the tourists, it is quite charming, very vintage-y and all, yet - THERE is Lee Harvey Oswald. I WONDER IF THOSE FOLKS EVER KNEW WHAT THEY HAD!!! At any rate. Looks like a cool place to visit (and not just because he lurked there)!
Yeah, Minsk looks like a neat place. The nicest Polish city is Wroclaw, it doean't have that ugly Soviet architecture that is so common in some Eastern European cities.
@antysmok ,you wrong!I been in Vilnus,Prague,Helsinki, and in many more different places,my friend is studied in Poland,i saw the photo of Krakow and Varshava - Mensk much better in Mensk there are no Poles,joke!=)
@ArthusfromBelarus so you should also visit Krakow too. Then you can judge by yourself :-). On other hand generally Cities are gaining more when they are multicultural. Pity that Mensk lost it multinational side, so you should be waiting for Poles there too (not only don't worry ;-) )
Yes. If only Poland hadn't lost international sympathy by invading Zaolze when they thought the world was preoccupied by Hitler's invasion of the sudety, it might have been able to call in some of the treaties it broke by doing so, and not lost about a third of its size at the close of the war...
i dont understand belarusian people?? what is the difference between russian and belorusian?? do they have diff history?? thanks... greetings from bulgaria GLORY TO THE SLAVS
There was no friction against the Poles there, it was a cowardly act done while the country was down dealing with Hitler. It became just the excuse the allies needed to delay their treaty obligations towards Poland.
It was their entry to the Eurovision contest the first or second time they attempted it. They have never won the main one, but the winner of this year's is a Belarusian living in Norway, and he sang for Norway, but the song he performed he wrote himself. The song here is not a bad go. A bit of an experiment.
Congratulations your country is beatifull and the women belarus are the most pretty in the world .... if you want to visit my country ( Peru) i can to guide you or recomend some places ... Good look !!
when everyone else improves to meet our standards of excellency..... we are a young ass country, and its much better here than anywhere else.....especially shitty ass belarus haha
You're nothing but a slave to the elite who run your country, gibbering on about liberty and standards, but you're a moron with Stockholm syndrome who understands less than a child.
Land of the free? America? You misspelt "land of the freemasons". Hope this helps.
stfu retard you obviously dont know what your fuckin talking about faggot. I do whatever I want in America. Im only 20 years old, and I have my own small house and have 2 cars. I do whatever the fuck I want. Drink,Smoke,Fuck. Nobody stops me, frankly, i dont give a fuck what you think because im living the good life in America and you live in some third world shit hole in fuckin Eurasia hAHhAhhahah fuckin poor faggot. hHAhahhahahHa your house probably sucks balls, .....AHhAhAhAHAAh FUCKIN FAG !!
They've got you reduced to thinkning that drinking, smoking and fucking is all there is. Poor slave. Enjoy paying your taxes and working at your menial job at the MacDonalds.
HAhAHa mcdonalds is for 13 years olds silly. I'm gonna get a degree in Biology and make more money than you will make in your ENTIRE life. Because, I live in a MUCH RICHER country than your poor ass hAAHAHahhah xP
You are so manipulated. You think that your country is "on your side", and you have been informed that people in Eastern Europe need to queue for bread so that you can feel good about living in a place where your kids will become targets for narcotraficantes and pimps, who will be jailed occasionally in comfort and fed out of your taxes, before getting out again and stealing your stereo.
T4nz4ni4232 your misguided. By the way in USA you can't drink until your 21 which in Belarus you can at 18. You can't smoke until your 18, and if caught with any other drug you can be put in prison for all time.
Free nation for whome the poltics? America has run amok it's culture has went from family oreinted to afro-rap. The people of Belarus want more then just drinks, drugs, and sexs, they want culture, unity, freedom from corupt banksters.

A word of advice if you visit Belarus. Stay away from White Stork Vodka its not like the cats pee they sell in the west. It will floor anybody but the most hard nosed of alcos.

Between Russia and Belarus is huge difference. Russia became the toilet without order, if you visit Moscow you can not find there Russian people, only asian bastards and others, Russian living in Moscow also almost all are bastards without moral, corrupt also. Belarus is the only one normal land from former Soviet-Union, there is order, normal governement and normal people, not animals like in Moscow.
alan1029384756 1 year ago
There are plenty of decent people in Moscow too. There has just been an increase in non-decent ones in the last several years. Blame the big krysha compnies who bring them in for cheap labour. Under the Soviet Union, not everyone was permitted to move to Moscow. Now there is freedom, and that's what you get. If you give freedom to people, they tend to turn up and use it.

I would have thought that the people who do nothing but laugh their heads off in the sun all day and do sports are the boring ones, but it's all a question of viewpoint. I'm convinced there are plenty of sports facilities in Belarus.

Basically what I mean is that you cant have fun in Minsk as you could somewhere else as in australia, new zealand, brazil, south africa...Its a cold country, worldwide unknown, with an old population, and empty/boring streets. May be a good place for old ppl searching for a calm place, but thats not what I look for.

Ah ha! I see the infamous Palace of Culture at 0:36, where Lee Harvey Oswald met Marina Prusakova at a Trade Union Dance in 1961, and married her two months later. DID you go in there? Is it fancy? I cannot find pictures of the interior anywhere. IS that something they talk about (Lee meeting Marina there) or no? Too, his apartment, in some big fancy building was not far from here. However, I doubt any tour would mention this. Just curious.
CrashingCrockery 2 years ago
I wasn't on tour, just with a brother accountant. I had no idea LHO had any connexion with Minsk, and will happily have a look at it next time.
usenetposts 2 years ago
Ah, I see. Yes, in '61, he went with some college students to a dance (he was bored, nothing else to do in Minsk at that time, where he was employed at a Radio & TV assembly plant -oh, I wonder if THAT is still there!) - and Marina was there too with her then-sort-of boyfriend Anatoly something-or-other. Apparently there were columns and sparkling chandeliers, it sounded pretty romantic (at least, as far as the Lee Oswald story goes...) Thanks for replying!
CrashingCrockery 2 years ago
There's a lot more to Minsk than just the fact that an Infamous Whack-O named Oswald just happened to have resided there, on the Tab of the Soviet Government and the International Red Cross-
he hardly took care of his own wife and daughters, the Moron-
But, yes, there happens to be a photo of Two British School Teachers from August of '61, parked with their Singer Auto and UK license plates, speaking with a "curious young man with an American accent-" who later turned out to be LHO
poitrenaud 2 years ago
Oh, I am sure there is more to it - I am embarrassed to say I only JUST learned "Balarus" is pronounced "Bella -ROOSE." THAT is how little I know about the Iron Curtain...and yes, I have seen the (color!) photos of Lee with the tourists, it is quite charming, very vintage-y and all, yet - THERE is Lee Harvey Oswald. I WONDER IF THOSE FOLKS EVER KNEW WHAT THEY HAD!!! At any rate. Looks like a cool place to visit (and not just because he lurked there)!

Yes. If only Poland hadn't lost international sympathy by invading Zaolze when they thought the world was preoccupied by Hitler's invasion of the sudety, it might have been able to call in some of the treaties it broke by doing so, and not lost about a third of its size at the close of the war...

In Zaolze were living 123 000 Poles and only 39 000 Czehs so it was big reason to get it back.
Now there are living about 43 000 Poles.

There was no friction against the Poles there, it was a cowardly act done while the country was down dealing with Hitler. It became just the excuse the allies needed to delay their treaty obligations towards Poland.

It was their entry to the Eurovision contest the first or second time they attempted it.
