Minsk, Belarus

 In winter we decided to visit the capital of Belarus, Minsk, a very nice clean city.

Minsk is the capital of a totalitarian and depressive country where for many, many years power has been in the hands of merciless battering rams. 

The Minsk Circus is very similar to the Moscow one; in general the TsUM, GUM, Wall of Tsoi and architecture borrow a lot from Russian ideas.

The Svisloch River flows through Minsk.
