long live comunism

[ianjohn05]

I am an American. I have been to Minsk. Would like to go back one day soon and see more of it.

[MrILGRISO]

ok so go there and work for 100 dollars per months...you'll like to live in Minsk

[VulturCadens]

@MrILGRISO Do not give a bullshit about 100$ a month. Ppl. making aroud 1000-1200 a month. With Belarus prices it is actualy not so bad. My sister is a hairdresser and she makes 1000$ a month and doubles it with private clients.

[MrILGRISO]

@VulturCadens Im talking about most of people not a single hairdresser. Go to easthern belarus and then tell me what you see. Medium salary is 250/300 but in some village, if you are lucky to find a job, max you get is 100.

It's a pitty because I like By

[Urindunk]

@MrILGRISO

Isnt that just what characterizes eastern countries? If you go outside Belarus i dont think its very different.

[vadimik1000]

@MrILGRISO в Минске 100 долларов не кто не получает!! там зарплата гораздо выше!!!!

[MrILGRISO]

@vadimik1000 I was meant about easthern belaussia . In Minks situation is quite better.Technically Belarus is on bankruptcy with inflation taking over + 18 % last 12 months and devaluation of By ruble going over 50%

[VivaLaEurope]

@vadimik1000 Before devaluation average salary was 500$ (of course common people, not officials and the other), after the devaluation became something around 200-250$, and may even lower, because will be more devaluations,reforms as the result it'll be the reason of future protests and maybe Revolution!

[drowsy4]

Very clean city, but I heard, a cop on every corner, no wonder, clean. Better to have a little litter and fewer cops.

[bertiandre]

I love Minsk nice and happy !!!!!!

следует принять во внимание, что видео снималось в канун Дня Победы, и обилие советсткой символики вполне логично, ибо Победа была общесоветской.

[mglchono]

semi-communist country controlled by a dictator thats what i learnt from this country this summer 2010 when i went there.

[xxxToomy07]

Looks quite nice to be honest! Maybe go on holiday there!

[trancebeliever]

another poor boring rainy lost city in eastern europe...

[ZloyGoblin007]

Минск - красивый город, здесь прекрасно уживается как сталинская архитектура, так и современные здания. жаль, что во время Второй Мировой много старинных строений было разрушено, так что, кроме троицкого предместья и нескольких храмов, и не осталось ничего. зато люди добрые и отзывчивые :). а насчет советского прошлого беспокоится не надо: это вполне европейский город уже. велкам ту Беларусь! welcome to Belarus!

[whiskeyautograf]

Show better what simply people eat and how they wear. Cummunism!!!

[lietuvis1984]

belarus is shit K.G.B and komunizm country., belarus is lithuanian occupated land.belbasharus ship girls and drunk boys.

[DIMAN627]

Although I did not understand what the man said, but judging by the Comment I think that the opinion of the good) Music is chosen badly, but at least she did not Belarusian, Belarusian singer. The architecture here in almost everywhere is no longer Soviet, and she was not inspired by the old architecture of the U.S., I'm just confident. See excerpts from the old Soviet movies and see.

P.S. If the text contains errors, then blame translator))

[cooper2277]

music is totally awful!!!! were did you get this crab?! It's not belarusian at all!

[Thorsupremecommander]

do the old US cities like New York or Washington have "stalinist" style as well? I don't get the point, why people associate architectural style with politicians. Actually, soviet architecture was inspired with US old architecture...

[Realsozialist]

Love Stalinistic Architecture. Beautiful and clean.

[concalves]

Is it a marketing video for Minsk? :D Its look very nice, clean and sympathic ;) I think most of the people from Europe will like it.

[HashHansel]

It is very clean, i was amazed how clean was it. Its very nice city.

[oxonboy]

@concalves It is a very nice city. Much cleaner than most cities in the UK, and safer in the evenings.

[lanind]

@concalves if you knew how bad the stalinist regime was. you would find this disgusting

[archanticipator]

@lanind My grandfather and grandmother knows what it is. Old generation knows it.

Long Live Stalin the Great!

[vladimirpoetin]

Amazing nice and clean city. New York is full of graffiti, homeless people, crime. Minsk is safe, clean, pretty girls and beautyfull. I will go there in summer I hope when I'm able to get a visa (that's pretty difficult). Пака! Приветий для Голандия!

[wojbert]

@vladimirpoetin get f out . stupid idiot. have you been in NY??? .soviet citizen???/ you are full of shit propaganda.

[TurnerEckhardt]

@vladimirpoetin

Yes, I am sure your comment is correct but you forgot to add a few things: New York is freedom of speach, political ideas and full of high quality jobs. Minsk not so much ...

[Ryhor9]

BSSR forever! (joke) :)

Stalins style is simple as that. no glamur at all. but who could think about that after %96-99 of the city was destroyed during the WW2 and every 4th citizen of Belarus was killed.

cheers, abflint1.

[EroSonogSvijeta]

This looks like freakin' Stockholm - cheers for Belorussians!

P.S. don't sell your ass to the west, it won't do you any good!

Greetings from Serbia!

[Dudtz]

Stalinist Architecture is one of the few things,Stalinist that are good.

[bucovin68]

Freedom for Belorusans!!!!
