  • Being an #irish expat in #minsk #belarus isn't always easy. While out hunting for Soviet murals last Sunday, events took an unexpected twist. I knew I had forgot something.

    Love Belarus, I was multiple times there, my best memory is picking mushrooms in the woods early in the morning. If you see random cars parked near the highway in the middle of nowhere - people are picking mushrooms :D

    Thank you very much for your love for Belarus!
    Мой родны кут, як ты мне мілы!..
    Забыць цябе не маю сілы!
    Не раз, утомлены дарогай,
    Жыццём вясны мае убогай,
    К табе я ў думках залятаю
    І там душою спачываю.
    О, як бы я хацеў спачатку
    Дарогу жыцця па парадку
    Прайсці яшчэ раз, азірнуцца,
    Сабраць з дарог каменні тыя,
    Што губяць сілы маладыя, -
    К вясне б маёй хацеў вярнуцца.

    The body of water you walked by near the National Library is actually not the Svisłač River itself, but a part of the system of artificial channels called Slapianskaja Water System. It's a unique and fascinating feature of Minsk city. A system of pumps draws water from the Drazdy Water Reserve in the northwest of the city and pumps it directly into the Cnianskaje Water Reserve in the north. From there, a system of artificial channels carries this water back to the Svisłač River/Čyžoŭskaje Water Reserve in the southeast of the city. This is one of very few positive legacies of the soviet era in Minsk.

    O Spring...
    by Yakub Kolas
    O spring, O long-
    Awaited one!
    You w recurn.
    Come back again!
    The joyful singing,
    yveicomine
    Of water-brooks
    Be heard again,
    The grove will waken,
    And with song
    In green leaf clothe
    Itselt again,
    The woods resound
    With whistling birds
    The meadow wear
    New grass again,
    And Trom te south
    With levin-light
    The stormcloud press
    Its way again.
    And the first thunder,
    Music-like,
    Mvsterious
    Roll forth again,
    And all the earth
    Will shake again,
    With rain will wash
    Itself again,
    in nature all
    Be born again,
    And youth to it
    keturn azain,
    Rt thou wit not
    Return again,
    Return again
    To me, sweet youth!
    O spring, O long-
    Awaited one!
    You will return.
    Return again!

      I think Belarus was one of the only countries that had no lockdown, despite the protests of the western backed ‘opposition’ leaders. (See Irish Partizan videos from 2020/21 and Anfisa Belarus)
      No vaccine mandates either along with China. (Probably a result partly of WW2 and the actions of units like Japan’s Unit 731)

Could you please advise if there are/were any complications for u here as a foreigner here due to the situation? She plans to come via Istanbul, so visa free short term visit.

    In the Sommer Minskoe More is also nice.

Be special bro be different.
