Minsk is situated on the river Svisloch. Its population is about 2 million.
During the Great Patriotic War Minsk was destroyed by German invaders almost completely. It was liberated on the 3rd of July, 1944. In 1974 Minsk was honored with the title of Hero-City for people’s courage and heroism during the Great Patriotic War.
In post-war years the city was rebuilt anew. Modern Minsk has numerous plants. It is also a big traffic centre with a large network of railways, roads, airlines and some Metro lines.
Minsk has a highly developed industry. Hundreds of industrial enterprises produce tractors and automobiles, motor-cycles and bicycles, TV-sets and radio-sets, refrigerators and washing machines‚ watches‚ electronic devices, textile, footwear, food and other goods. Such enterprises as “MAZ”, “Horizont”, “Atlant” and others are famous not only in our country.
Minsk is also an educational centre. There are 16 state higher educational establishments, the biggest of which are the Belarusian State University and the Polytechnical Academy.
The cultural life of the people in the Belarusian capital is varied and interesting. In Minsk there are 6 theatres, a number of concert halls, a circus, a lot of cinemas, palaces of culture, libraries and clubs. The most famous theatres are the National Academic Opera Theatre, the National Academic Ballet Theatre, the National Yanka Kupala Theatre, the Gorky Russian Drama Theatre.
Among the most interesting museums one can mention the Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War, the National Art Museum, the Y. Kypala and Y. Kolas Literary Museums, the Museum of Local History and Folklore‚ the Museum of the First Congress of Social Democratic Workers’ Party of Russia.
The citizens of Minsk are proud of their city. It is beautiful at any time of the year. There are a lot of large parks and gardens in our capital.
