From the sender’s handwriting at least I can guess Belarus is near Russia.. and they use Cyrillic :D Well I have come to learn from alot of postcards I received that Russians have this certain kind of handwriting when they write romans. I mean, it’s so significant just how Dutch handwriting is like, they’re like the teachers in school are teaching them to write only this style, so everyone has almost identical handwriting :) Okay so this card shows the avenue in Lenin Street with S I Grytsavets monument – he was the Hero of the Soviet Union.

A glamorous night view in the Victory Square. Standing here is a monument to the Soviet army men and partisans who died in the fight to liberate Byelorussia from German fascist invanders.

This is the football manege in Minsk, which is also a place for trade shows.
