Belarusian cities represent a unique, mysterious, and extremely
interesting realm to explore. The realm is filled with numerous historical, architectural,
and cultural artifacts, for the cities fully reflect the turbulent history of Belarus. In
surfing the pages you will find references to the early Ruthenian principalities, grandeur of
the Great Duchy of Lithuania, the Russian and Soviet yoke, and other historical periods.
You will encounter the familiar names of Mark Chagal, Francysk Skaryna, and Kazimir
Malevich. You will catch a glimpse of Belarusian urban views and landscapes. We hope that
the pages excite your curiosity and perhaps lead you to further explorations of Belarus.
We strive to create a comprehensive collection of facts, graphics, and links to other
sites. We rely on you to help us maintain thoroughness of this site. Contact us, if you discover information not
presented herein. We ourselves will also work hard to keep this site up-to-date.

towns and villages of Belarus. Texts are in Russian and have a lot of old
Soviet flavor. The history angle in there also feels anti-Belarusian - more
like an established Russian Imperial views on Belarus. But if you just look
for pictures for genealogical search - its the best place on Internet, no
doubt.
