Two statues in Minsk, Belarus



From English Russia. Plus some other marvelous stuff.

  1. I greatly prefer those to Portland's statues of a man with an umbrella and a quizzically raised index finger in the central square and the mayor flashing passersby from an unfurled trench coat. English Russia does a fine job of bringing some strange things to light. Did you see the Armenian church or the abandoned 19th century homes?

  2. I think I blogged the Armenian church sculptures, but don't remember the other.

    English Russia is a treasure.

  3. The ongoing national Flag of Belarus was officially embraced on June 7, 1995, following the consequence of a mandate decided on by the Belarusian nation in the earlier month. This new plan supplanted a verifiable flag utilised by the Belarusian Nation's Republic of 1918, preceding Belarus turned into a Soviet Republic, and again after it recaptured its freedom in 1991.
