Having lived in Minsk myself for a while, I wish this guide had been available then, not only to enthuse me beforehand but to steer me in my interactions with Belarusans once I had arrived. I shall be looking for others in the series.
useful guide November 3, 2008

concise and insightful - a clear take on the 'real' Belarus .... not a guide book in the traditional sense, but a Bible on understanding the local psyche
