Belarusians
Belarusians (, ) Bielarusy; also Belarussians, Belorussians, or Byelorussians) are an East Slavic ethnic group (or nationality) who populate the majority of the Republic of Belarus. Introduced to the world as a new state in the early 1990s, the Republic of Belarus brought with it the notion of a re-emerging Belarusian ethnicity, drawn upon the lines of the Old Belarusian language spoken by the Ruthenian ethnic group that ruled (together with ancestors of today's Lithuanians) the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. However, after the creation of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, many of the Old Belarusian-speaking Ruthenian nobles would be absorbed by the Polish szlachta in the West and, later, the Russian nobility in the East, leaving only a small rural-dwelling population to be the propagators of a distinct non-literary Belarusian language up until its revival.

Filippova PERFORMING ENSEMBLE: "Uiyulga" (organized in 1999 in Tabaga) The Sakha New Song Festival was the first of its kind in the history of Yakutia.

With less than 48 hours to go, Russian government representatives contacted the hall director and forbade him to host the concert. It didn't matter that Algys had a signed contract and the halls rental was fully paid. Suddenly, Algys had to scramble to find somewhere else to hold the event. The organizing team quickly decided to move the event to their own church building, the only <b>...</b>

Over 1000 people, including some 500 children, were evacuated from the affected Yedeitsy and Partizan communities and were staying with relatives. Also on Tuesday, a railway bridge was destroyed by swelling floodwaters in the autonomous republic of Khakassia in Siberia, threatening several industrial projects in the area.
