I`d like to start with some facts about Belarus. It has an area of 207600 square kilometers and the population of more than nine million. In my view, most of the people here are open-minded, kind, hard-working and hospitable. Belarus is situated in Eastern Europe and has endured two world wars. Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia are our neighbors. Our relations with all countries are friendly, equal in rights. People of various countries have left their traces here.
The first people came to Belarus twenty four thousand years ago. Uravichi and Berdish were the first settlements here. The original Belorussian tribes are Krivichi, Radzimichi and Drygovichi. In the old times, people called Belarus the country of castles. There were 34-40 km between the castles. Now there are many places in Belarus where we can still see castles, churches and cathedrals. Strange as it may seem, but they attract me very much. Nesvizh is one of the oldest historical and cultural towns in Belarus. The greatest cultural value in Nesvizh is Nesvizh castle. Since the sixteenth century it has been the residence of the Radzivils family. The castle has been under reconstruction for the last seven years. It is in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Not far from Nesvizh castle we can find Mir castle. Mir is older than Nesvizh. It dates back to the sixteenth century. The castles are very interesting and I`ve visited them. They are famous for their ghosts and legends. Nesvizh ghosts are Black Dame and Black Nun. Black Nun likes to play tricks on people. The ghost can push someone or break a mirror. I`d like to be a witness of something like that. I would be afraid of meeting her, but I`d like to. Black Dame still walks in the castle. It`s the ghost of Barbara Radzivil. And now I can`t but attract your attention to our capital. The first mentioning of Minsk can be found in chronicles in 1067 year. In 1067 there was fight at the Nemiga. In 1129, Minsk principality became part of Kiev principality. In general, at this time Minsk was a strong and rich city, because two big roads passed through it.
Belarus became a part of Russia. But I want to tell you about just one thing the history of my native city.
My favorite place in Minsk is Troitskoe Suburb. It is a picturesque and unique place of old Minsk which is one of the favorite places for the rest of citizens of Minsk and visitors to the capital. The settling of this territory according to the archaeological data began in the twelfth century. At the beginning of 16th century, the towers of Troitskaya church and a monastery rose on a hill. The mountain Troitskaya in the MiddleAges fulfilled the function of a defensive redoubt on the approaches to the city. According to written sources, in 1605 the main street of the suburb was Troitskaya, which began at the bridge over the Svislach. When Belarus was part of Russian Empire, it was called Aleksandrovskaya, during Soviet times, Maxim Gorky street, and now it has the name of the well-known Belarusian poet Maxim Bogdanovich who was born in one of the houses in this street. The majority of the houses in Troitskoe suburb were wooden and considered as the suburb of Minsk, nowadays it is the centre of the city.
In 1840, instead of the Catholic monastery an orthodox theological seminary was placed in the building. Now greatly reconstructed, this monastic building is occupied by Suvorov school. The fire of 1809 destroyed all wooden construction of Suburb Troitskoe. Then it was rebuilt. It was subordinate to the canons of classicism, according to which all the streets of the city should cross in the right angle, creating square and rectangular quarters. Stone houses in the streets were put closely to each other, creating a uniform line with the common faзade. The architects took into account local traditions which where expressed in a characteristic ornament of faзades, and the climatic conditions caused high roofs with attics and penthouses for economic needs. The Troitskoe suburb looks like this now. Its restoration according to old plans, drawings and photos was done in 1980. Why do I like this place` Because modern building such as the Opera and Ballet House, a set of museums, showrooms and other cultural are in harmony with old buildings, whereas the interior of the bookstores, cafes and shops in the suburb contain the spirit of past. I and my classmates often come here to have a good time and a good rest. In my opinion, it`s so catching and exciting to study the history of my native country, to reveal the secrets and mysteries of the place where I was born and live. I believe that every place in the world is unique and has something to tell us. So I advise everybody to start a journey to the history of your native land. I`m sure you can enjoy it and have some adventures.
Good luck!

Minsk Минск
Minsk is the capital of Belarus, a big and beautiful city with rich history. It is an administrative, economic, scientific, and cultural center of the country having large population (approximately 2 million citizens), advantageous geographical position (Minsk is situated on the river Svislach, almost in the geographical center of Belarus) and political significance (for example, the headquarters of CIS is located there). Minsk is an important transport junction: its first railways were built in the 19th century, and nowadays there are international airport and MAZ, a well-known automobile factory. Parks, gardens, and architectural monuments of various styles create the unique charm of Minsk.
Минск – столица Беларуси, большой и красивый город с богатой историей. Он является административным, экономическим, научным и культурным центром страны, имеющим крупное население (примерно 2 миллиона жителей), выгодное географическое положение (Минск находится на реке Свислочь, почти в географическом центре Беларуси) и политическую значимость (например, там расположена штаб-квартира СНГ). Минск – важный транспортный узел: первые железные дороги в нём были проложены в XIX веке, а в наши дни есть международный аэропорт и МАЗ, известный автомобильный завод. Парки, сады и архитектурные памятники разных стилей создают неповторимое очарование Минска.
Slavic tribes lived on the territory of Minsk from antiquity, but the urban settlement was founded in the 11th century. As a part of the Ancient Rus’, Minsk was a capital of a principality and became a trading center. Hard times came with numerous wars: the city passed from one Russian prince to another, was joined to the Duchy of Lithuania, and later – to Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, so Polish culture and religion (Catholicism) played a great role in Minsk as well as original ones. Afterward, as a part of Russian Empire and the USSR, Minsk grew and developed intensively. It suffered during Great Patriotic War and got the hero city status.
Славянские племена жили на территории Минска с древности, но городское поселение было основано в XI веке. В составе Древней Руси Минск был столицей княжества и стал центром торговли. Трудные времена настали с многочисленными войнами: город переходил от одного русского князя к другому, был присоединён к Княжеству Литовскому, а позднее – к Речи Посполитой (союзу Литвы и Польши), поэтому польские культура и религия (католицизм) играли в Минске такую же важную роль, как изначальные. Впоследствии, в составе Российской империи и СССР, Минск интенсивно рос и развивался. Он пострадал в ходе Великой Отечественной войны и получил статус Города-героя.
Modern Minsk has many landmarks and picturesque places: monumental baroque Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral (the 17th century), several huge squares, the National Opera and Ballet Theater, botanical garden, and even the Museum of carriages. Besides, Minsk is famous for its delicious sweets produced by local confectionery factories.
В современном Минске много достопримечательностей и живописных мест: монументальный барочный Собор святых Петра и Павла (XVII
век), несколько колоссальных площадей, Национальный театр оперы и балета, ботанический сад и даже Музей карет. Кроме того, Минск знаменит своими вкусными сладостями, которые производят местные кондитерские фабрики.

Minsk is famous for its picturesque parks and gardens:
Gorky Central Children’s Park

Mikhailovsky Garden
It is a comfortable public garden near the Railway Station decorated with works by the famous Belarusian sculptor Vladimir Zhbanov that became landmarks of the city: Woman on a Bench, Girl under an Umbrella, and Man Lighting Up a Cigarette.
Aleksandrovsky Garden
This public garden is one of the most romantic places of the city situated near the Yanka Kupala National Academic Theater. The garden features the oldest fountain in Minsk that was installed in 1874 to celebrate the opening of the public water-supply system. The sculpture Boy with a Swan is placed at the center of the fountain. Its author Theodor Ernst Kalid got a medal at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations held in London in 1851 and an order from the British Crown to make a copy of the sculpture. There are around 200 similar fountains in the world.

Victory Park
The park near Lake Komsomolskoye features the Isle of Birds wildlife reserve and beautiful illuminated fountains. People can take a walk along the shore of the lake, and those who prefer more active recreation can ride along the bikeway and swim in a usual or twin-hull boat.
Loshitsa Park
The old Loshitsa Estate in Minsk built in the 16th century belonged to such families as the Drutskys-Gorskys, the Tolochinskys, the Pruszynskis, and the Lyubanskys. In the second part of the 18th century, Adjutant-General Count Stanislaw Pruszynski remodeled the estate into a large residence that welcomed many outstanding people like the last King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Stanislaw August Poniatowski, Russian Emperor Paul I, writer Vincent Dunin-Martsinkevich, composer Stanislaw Moniuszko…
The last owners of the Loshitsa Estate, Eustacjusz Lubanski and his wife Jadwiga, made it even more beautiful. The picturesque park featured exotic plants and the house was transformed into an elegant mansion where the family held theater and poetry evenings and celebrated folk holidays. European albums used to name the Loshitsa Estate among the most beautiful ones until Eustacjusz Lubanski left it in 1913 after Jadwiga’s tragic death.
Today the Loshitsa estate and park is one of the most beautiful places in Minsk where one can walk along the old alleys and visit the residence-museum. The original 19th-century interior decoration of the estate was restored in the result of a many-year reconstruction effort.

I`d like to start with some facts about Belarus. It has an area of 207600 square kilometers and the population of more than nine million. In my view, most of the people here are open-minded, kind, hard-working and hospitable. Belarus is situated in Eastern Europe and has endured two world wars. Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia are our neighbors. Our relations with all countries are friendly, equal in rights. People of various countries have left their traces here.
The first people came to Belarus twenty four thousand years ago. Uravichi and Berdish were the first settlements here. The original Belorussian tribes are Krivichi, Radzimichi and Drygovichi. In the old times, people called Belarus the country of castles. There were 34-40 km between the castles. Now there are many places in Belarus where we can still see castles, churches and cathedrals. Strange as it may seem, but they attract me very much. Nesvizh is one of the oldest historical and cultural towns in Belarus. The greatest cultural value in Nesvizh is Nesvizh castle. Since the sixteenth century it has been the residence of the Radzivils family. The castle has been under reconstruction for the last seven years. It is in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Not far from Nesvizh castle we can find Mir castle. Mir is older than Nesvizh. It dates back to the sixteenth century. The castles are very interesting and I`ve visited them. They are famous for their ghosts and legends. Nesvizh ghosts are Black Dame and Black Nun. Black Nun likes to play tricks on people. The ghost can push someone or break a mirror. I`d like to be a witness of something like that. I would be afraid of meeting her, but I`d like to. Black Dame still walks in the castle. It`s the ghost of Barbara Radzivil. And now I can`t but attract your attention to our capital. The first mentioning of Minsk can be found in chronicles in 1067 year. In 1067 there was fight at the Nemiga. In 1129, Minsk principality became part of Kiev principality. In general, at this time Minsk was a strong and rich city, because two big roads passed through it.
Belarus became a part of Russia. But I want to tell you about just one thing the history of my native city.
My favorite place in Minsk is Troitskoe Suburb. It is a picturesque and unique place of old Minsk which is one of the favorite places for the rest of citizens of Minsk and visitors to the capital. The settling of this territory according to the archaeological data began in the twelfth century. At the beginning of 16th century, the towers of Troitskaya church and a monastery rose on a hill. The mountain Troitskaya in the MiddleAges fulfilled the function of a defensive redoubt on the approaches to the city. According to written sources, in 1605 the main street of the suburb was Troitskaya, which began at the bridge over the Svislach. When Belarus was part of Russian Empire, it was called Aleksandrovskaya, during Soviet times, Maxim Gorky street, and now it has the name of the well-known Belarusian poet Maxim Bogdanovich who was born in one of the houses in this street. The majority of the houses in Troitskoe suburb were wooden and considered as the suburb of Minsk, nowadays it is the centre of the city.
In 1840, instead of the Catholic monastery an orthodox theological seminary was placed in the building. Now greatly reconstructed, this monastic building is occupied by Suvorov school. The fire of 1809 destroyed all wooden construction of Suburb Troitskoe. Then it was rebuilt. It was subordinate to the canons of classicism, according to which all the streets of the city should cross in the right angle, creating square and rectangular quarters. Stone houses in the streets were put closely to each other, creating a uniform line with the common faзade. The architects took into account local traditions which where expressed in a characteristic ornament of faзades, and the climatic conditions caused high roofs with attics and penthouses for economic needs. The Troitskoe suburb looks like this now. Its restoration according to old plans, drawings and photos was done in 1980. Why do I like this place` Because modern building such as the Opera and Ballet House, a set of museums, showrooms and other cultural are in harmony with old buildings, whereas the interior of the bookstores, cafes and shops in the suburb contain the spirit of past. I and my classmates often come here to have a good time and a good rest. In my opinion, it`s so catching and exciting to study the history of my native country, to reveal the secrets and mysteries of the place where I was born and live. I believe that every place in the world is unique and has something to tell us. So I advise everybody to start a journey to the history of your native land. I`m sure you can enjoy it and have some adventures.
Good luck!

Minsk
Минск
Minsk is the capital of Belarus, a big and beautiful city with rich history. It is an administrative, economic, scientific, and cultural center of the country having large population (approximately 2 million citizens), advantageous geographical position (Minsk is situated on the river Svislach, almost in the geographical center of Belarus) and political significance (for example, the headquarters of CIS is located there). Minsk is an important transport junction: its first railways were built in the 19th century, and nowadays there are international airport and MAZ, a well-known automobile factory. Parks, gardens, and architectural monuments of various styles create the unique charm of Minsk.
Минск – столица Беларуси, большой и красивый город с богатой историей. Он является административным, экономическим, научным и культурным центром страны, имеющим крупное население (примерно 2 миллиона жителей), выгодное географическое положение (Минск находится на реке Свислочь, почти в географическом центре Беларуси) и политическую значимость (например, там расположена штаб-квартира СНГ). Минск – важный транспортный узел: первые железные дороги в нём были проложены в XIX веке, а в наши дни есть международный аэропорт и МАЗ, известный автомобильный завод. Парки, сады и архитектурные памятники разных стилей создают неповторимое очарование Минска.
Slavic tribes lived on the territory of Minsk from antiquity, but the urban settlement was founded in the 11th century. As a part of the Ancient Rus’, Minsk was a capital of a principality and became a trading center. Hard times came with numerous wars: the city passed from one Russian prince to another, was joined to the Duchy of Lithuania, and later – to Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, so Polish culture and religion (Catholicism) played a great role in Minsk as well as original ones. Afterward, as a part of Russian Empire and the USSR, Minsk grew and developed intensively. It suffered during Great Patriotic War and got the hero city status.
Славянские племена жили на территории Минска с древности, но городское поселение было основано в XI веке. В составе Древней Руси Минск был столицей княжества и стал центром торговли. Трудные времена настали с многочисленными войнами: город переходил от одного русского князя к другому, был присоединён к Княжеству Литовскому, а позднее – к Речи Посполитой (союзу Литвы и Польши), поэтому польские культура и религия (католицизм) играли в Минске такую же важную роль, как изначальные. Впоследствии, в составе Российской империи и СССР, Минск интенсивно рос и развивался. Он пострадал в ходе Великой Отечественной войны и получил статус Города-героя.
Modern Minsk has many landmarks and picturesque places: monumental baroque Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral (the 17th century), several huge squares, the National Opera and Ballet Theater, botanical garden, and even the Museum of carriages. Besides, Minsk is famous for its delicious sweets produced by local confectionery factories.
В современном Минске много достопримечательностей и живописных мест: монументальный барочный Собор святых Петра и Павла (XVII
век), несколько колоссальных площадей, Национальный театр оперы и балета, ботанический сад и даже Музей карет. Кроме того, Минск знаменит своими вкусными сладостями, которые производят местные кондитерские фабрики.

Minsk is famous for its picturesque parks and gardens:
Gorky Central Children’s Park
The Gorky Park is situated near the Belarusian State Circus along the bank of the Svisloch River. During the warm season the park offers a number of rides and attractions, including the Observation Wheel that gives a wonderful view of the city.
Mikhailovsky Garden
It is a comfortable public garden near the Railway Station decorated with works by the famous Belarusian sculptor Vladimir Zhbanov that became landmarks of the city: Woman on a Bench, Girl under an Umbrella, and Man Lighting Up a Cigarette.
Aleksandrovsky Garden
This public garden is one of the most romantic places of the city situated near the Yanka Kupala National Academic Theater. The garden features the oldest fountain in Minsk that was installed in 1874 to celebrate the opening of the public water-supply system. The sculpture Boy with a Swan is placed at the center of the fountain. Its author Theodor Ernst Kalid got a medal at the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations held in London in 1851 and an order from the British Crown to make a copy of the sculpture. There are around 200 similar fountains in the world.
Troitskaya Gora Garden (Teatralny Garden)
The history of the public garden is connected with the ancient Troitskaya Square. After the reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theater of Belarus the garden was renovated too: now it has a dynamically lit fountain, the central walkway, and the opera and ballet walkways with the Opera and Ballet sculptures.
Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus

Victory Park
The park near Lake Komsomolskoye features the Isle of Birds wildlife reserve and beautiful illuminated fountains. People can take a walk along the shore of the lake, and those who prefer more active recreation can ride along the bikeway and swim in a usual or twin-hull boat.
Loshitsa Park
The old Loshitsa Estate in Minsk built in the 16th century belonged to such families as the Drutskys-Gorskys, the Tolochinskys, the Pruszynskis, and the Lyubanskys. In the second part of the 18th century, Adjutant-General Count Stanislaw Pruszynski remodeled the estate into a large residence that welcomed many outstanding people like the last King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Stanislaw August Poniatowski, Russian Emperor Paul I, writer Vincent Dunin-Martsinkevich, composer Stanislaw Moniuszko…
The last owners of the Loshitsa Estate, Eustacjusz Lubanski and his wife Jadwiga, made it even more beautiful. The picturesque park featured exotic plants and the house was transformed into an elegant mansion where the family held theater and poetry evenings and celebrated folk holidays. European albums used to name the Loshitsa Estate among the most beautiful ones until Eustacjusz Lubanski left it in 1913 after Jadwiga’s tragic death.
Today the Loshitsa estate and park is one of the most beautiful places in Minsk where one can walk along the old alleys and visit the residence-museum. The original 19th-century interior decoration of the estate was restored in the result of a many-year reconstruction effort.
