Minsk, the capital of Belarus, is an ancient city with a history of more than 900 years.

During the Second World War, Minsk fell on June 28, 1941, and the German fascists killed more than 400,000 people in Minsk and nearby areas.

The hardworking people of Minsk built a new city on the devastated ruins, and in January 1972 it became the 11th city in the Soviet Union with a population of over one million.
