It is a spacious and extraodinary in its way Eastern-European city. Almost fully destoyed in the WWII, it was rebuilt from scratch in the 50-ies in “Stalin architecture” style. Many visitors say it looks and feels like a communism preserve, but the city definitely has its charms, once you get to know it. Added on 2003-12-18, modified on 2005-01-01 A cosy place in the very center of Minsk, in an old "Stalin architecture" house. Situated near a park and a river, within walking distance from everywhere in the center Added on 2003-12-18, modified on 2004-01-17 Village Byarozauka ('byaroza' in Belarusian means 'birch tree') in Gomel area in Southern Belarus. The village is situated in Palesye region, famous for beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Palesye bogs are called 'the lungs of Europe', allegedly providing a lot of oxygen and featuring rare species of birds and animals. A large part of Belarusian Palesye is now polutted by radioactive fallout from Chernobyl, with delapidated villages but still beautifull landscapes. Nowadays Chernobyl areas have become somewhat of a tourist attraction, with 'stalkers' arranging trips to polluted areas for adventurous travellers.
