Minsk
My native city is Minsk. Here I was born and here I lived all my life.
Minsk is the capital of the Republic of Belarus, its political,
economic, cultural and scientific center. It is an ancient city and
dates back to the 11th century. The main stages of its origin and
development are rather typical of a large settlement in this country.
It’s history has some specific features which distinguish it from many
other similar cities and towns. There is one version of how it came into
being. According to this the city was founded in the 11th century. The
fact of its existence was first recorded in the chronicles in 1067
connection with the battle on the river Nemiga. In 1101 after Prince
Vseslav’s death, the Principality of Polotsk was divided between his
sons. Gleb Vseslavovich took proposition of Minsk and made it the
capital of an independent Principality. There are certain proofs that it
was a flourishing commercial center located at the crossroads of the
traditional trade rout from east to west and from north to south. The
artisans and merchants traded their products for salt, iron, tin and
other goods. The earliest trading took place on the right bank of the
Svisloch. This, it s believed, gave rise to the name ” Mensk” Ih the
14th century Minsk became part of the great duchy of Lithuania. In order
to strengthen their hold on Russian soil, the Lithuanian princes united
with the lords of Poland in 1569 and the next 200 years the Belarussian
people were dominated by Poland and Lithuania. The city suffered from
the armies of Napoleon in 1812 as well as from the Nazi occupation in
1941. On the 5th of January 1919 the city of Minsk Became the capital of
Soviet Belarussia. Minsk is situated on the river Svisloch and occupies
an area of 200 square kilometers. Its population is about 2 million
people. During the Great Patriotic War Minsk was destroyed by German
invaders almost completely. Minsk lay in ruins. The people of Belarus
rebuilt the city. Victory Square, the Eternal Flame at the monument
