Belarus (i/bɛləˈruːs/ bel-ə-ROOSS; Belarusian: Белару́сь, tr. Bielaruś, IPA: [bʲɛlaˈrusʲ]; Russian: Белоруссия, tr. Byelorussiya; IPA: [bʲɪloˈrussɪʲɐ]), officially the Republic of Belarus, is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe bordered by Russia to the northeast, Ukraine to the south, Poland to the west, and Lithuania and Latvia to the northwest. Its capital is Minsk; other major cities include Brest, Hrodna (Grodno), Homiel (Gomel), Mahilioŭ (Mogilev) and Vitsebsk (Vitebsk). Over 40% of its 207,600 square kilometres (80,200 sq mi) is forested. Its strongest economic sectors are service industries and manufacturing.
Until the 20th century, different states at various times controlled the lands of modern-day Belarus: for example: the Principality of Polotsk (11th to 14th centuries), the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, and the Russian Empire. In the aftermath of the 1917 Russian Revolution, Belarus declared independence as the Belarusian People's Republic, succeeded by the Socialist Soviet Republic of Byelorussia, which became a founding constituent republic of the Soviet Union in 1922 and was renamed as the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic (Byelorussian SSR). Belarus lost almost half of its territory to Poland after the Polish-Soviet war of 1919-1921. Much of the borders of Belarus took their modern shape in 1939 when some lands of the Second Polish Republic were reintegrated into it after the Soviet invasion of Poland and were finalized after World War II. During World War II, military operations devastated Belarus, which lost about a third of its population and more than half of its economic resources. The republic was redeveloped in the post-war years. In 1945 Belarus became a founding member of the United Nations, along with the Soviet Union and the Ukrainian SSR.
As relations between Russia and the West have sunk to their lowest point since the Cold War, there's one country that's reaping rewards - Belarus, whose authoritarian leader was once dubbed "Europe's last dictator" by the United States and the European Union. President Alexander Lukashenko is relishing his new role as broker of the Ukraine peace talks, and his country of 10 (m) million people is profiting handsomely by reprocessing or simply repackaging European food banned by Moscow in retaliation to Western sanctions. In the most stunning example, exports of sea fish from the landlocked nation have doubled during the last three months - a sure sign that something curious is afoot. "Of course our priority is the relations with our strategic partner - the Russian Federation as well ...

Belarus still keenly hosts international communist conferences and has the Soviet red star on their national emblem. Yet the country often described as Europe's 'last dictatorship' now wants to 'cooperate more' with the West, according to their economy minister. ((Video G)) Belarus is traditionally a staunch ally of Russia, but during a recent interview with the Associated Press, Nikolai Snopkov said the war in Ukraine had caused a shift in Minsk's thinking and claimed that Russia 'would not mind'.

Opposition activists in Belarus protest to denounce the results of "farcical" parliamentary elections. Despite two opposition MPs gaining seats, critics say that the vote was rigged and that the opposition politicians only won the seats in an attempt to appease the West.
Belarus has been trying to balance itself between two opposing forces, Russia its formal ally, and the West, a new potential long-term ally. In recent months relations between Belarus and the West have been improving with US rhetoric softening and the EU holding back from taking a tough line over the country’s dismal human rights situation. The thawing in relations, analysts have suggested, could be credited to Belarus’ active involvement in the peace process between Ukraine and Russia, amid the on-going Russian-backed insurgency in east Ukraine.

DUTCH COMMENTARY. Nederland vs Wit-Rusland. The Netherlands vs Belarus. Quincy Promes scored two early goals to set the Netherlands on their way to a 4-1 victory over Belarus in their World Cup Group A qualifier on Friday and snap a miserable run of home form. Davy Klaassen and Vincent Janssen added two more in the second half as the Dutch, who finished third at the last World Cup in Brazil but failed to qualify for Euro 2016, ended an unprecedented run of five successive home defeats stretching back 16 months.

In BLACKOUT, a series made possible by Jigsaw, VICE News takes viewers across the globe, from Pakistan to Belarus, to examine technology's role in the ongoing fight for free expression. Watch the rest of the series here: http://bit.ly/1UNxdKP In October of last year, Alexander Lukashenko swept to his fifth term as the Belarusian president, marking 22 years in power. Despite the elections being marred by allegations of fraud, the EU in February lifted travel sanctions against Lukashenko's government, as a reward for good behavior — the elections passed without a repeat of 2010’s violent crackdown against opposition parties. But critics argue that the EU is making a dangerous endorsement of an autocratic regime that still employs the use of internet surveillance, censorship, and intimidatio...

In October 2015 a presidential election was held in Belarus. It wasn't a convincing contest and few thought that victory would go to anyone other than the man who had ruled the country for the past two decades. With an economy in tatters and a chilling charge list of human rights violations against his name, Alexander Lukashenko has long presided over Europe's closest equivalent to North Korea. That said, the president many accuse of being a dictator eschews a personality cult. There's little need, say his opponents; Lukashenko rules through fear. Today, time-warped Belarus provides a glimpse into what life was like before the collapse of the Soviet Union, where the secret police are still called the KGB and the success of the economy is measured in tractor sales. In the run-up to the ...

ARTICLE: http://haraldbaldr.com/minsk-belarus-lenin-swordfights-surveillance-miniskirts/ This is the result of a one week trip to Minsk. My Vlog includes footage from nightclubs, Belarusian girls, the beautiful city of Minsk, police brutality, the surveillance State, world war II museum, medieval swordfights and more. Minsk is a fantastic picturesque city with Europe's most beautiful girls. It is safe and easy to navigate from one part of the city to the next using the metro system. I also found Belorussians to be most welcoming and friendly with tourists. The exception is people who work for the government. They are mean and ridiculously rude. Stay away from them at all costs. To travel to Minsk you must obtain an invitation to the country which a travel agency can help you with. Apa...
The film introduces the issue of sex trafficking in a country that is known to have one of the worst reputations for sex trafficking; which is Belarus. The film explains that women and children are the largest victims of sex trafficking and expands on this idea to explain how the victims are targeted and brought into the sex trafficking industry. Furthermore, the film explains what the Belarus Government is doing about the issue, and how others can help to stop sex trafficking.
