I just got back after some time in Minsk. (We're updating Minsk In Your Pocket.) It was interesting to see all the Soviet stars getting a bit of a polish and new banners, such as this one, being whacked up in preparation for the May 9 (Victory Day) celebrations. For contrast and perspective, read the previous post. There really is a lot of hammer-and-sickle razzle-dazzle down there. There's also a good swag of new restaurants and and nightclubs. Stay tuned...
