State Flag Square inauguration ceremony
A landmark event took place on the eve of Independence Day of Belarus, on 2 July. The State Flag Square was inaugurated in a solemn ceremony in the center of the capital city. The State Flag Square is located on Pobeditelei Avenue near the future Palace of Independence. The square features all the statehood symbols of Belarus: a huge flag hoisted on a 70 meter flagstaff, a bronze coat of arms (two meters in diameter), the text of the national anthem, a geographic map of Belarus, and steles with the coats of arms of the six regions and the city of Minsk. The ceremony was attended by about 6,000 people, and the entire Belarus was watching the inauguration ceremony live. The inauguration ceremony commenced from a youth theatrical show; the head of state joined the ceremony later. The President underlined that the State Flag Square together with the Palace of Independence is designed to become the center of the sovereign Belarusian state. A new patriotic tradition to take the oath of allegiance to the State Flag of the Republic of Belarus was started at the inauguration ceremony. Among the first to take the oath of allegiance were veteran of the Great Patriotic War, liberator of Minsk Major General Alexander Fen, two-time world champion and Olympic Games bronze medalist Darya Domracheva, designer of the world-famous BelAZ trucks, Hero of Belarus Pavel Mariyev, and the talented youth. After the state flag was solemnly raised on the flagstaff, the participants of the inauguration ceremony performed the national anthem of Belarus. Video

Belarus activists risk the wrath of Lukashenko over flag
In a rare open protest against the government in Belarus, hundreds of activists have called for the nation's flag to be changed back to the one adopted after the collapse of the soviet union.
The red and white flag had been used until it was arbitrarily replaced with a more soviet styled one by hardline President Alexander Lukashenko who has led the country since 1994.
Monday's protest went ahead calmly without police intervention.
As part of efforts to improve ties with the West, the Belar…

A lesson of Belarusian # 3 of 6 - English subtitles
A Lesson of Belarusian is documentary from the former Soviet republic of Belarus. The country is often labelled the last dictatorship in Europe, ruled by president Aleksander Lukashenko's arbitrary and ruthless iron fist. In many ways, the country has reversed time and now follows the logic from its Soviet legacy and replaced the mentality, economics, structures of society, language, national flag and symbols with that of its Soviet past. Hence it is the state, which has the monopoly on ultimate power, which is being used to steer and control all aspects of the citizens' life. Since A. Lukahsenko was elected president in 1994, he has used the state to wage a cold civil war against all aspects of opposition, in his effort to create a stable country with a conformed and isolated population, who only follows the orders from the president - whose legitimacy cannot be questioned. This harassment has prevented the emergence of an effective civic society and a political opposition, which could counterweight the president's power monopoly.
In this atmosphere the documentary follows a young activists who never gives up believing that Belarus one day will be free and democratic. Franek Viacorka studies at an elite school (lyceum) established by his father to promote the Belarusian language and culture. However, the school has been banned and operating underground since 2003, a victim of the anti-democratic rule of President Lukashenko. Franek and his classmates are both passionate and thoughtful, expressing their critical attitude to the government by issuing an underground newspaper, recording music with activist lyrics and organizing an opposition concert.
Despite the imprisonment of Franek's father and the constant threat of their own arrest, they are undeterred. In the March 2006 presidential re-election, they support the democratic opposition candidate in a mass demonstration in Minsk's main square. While the candidate is powerless to combat Lukashenko's corruption and use of riot police, Franek and his classmates realize that fearlessness is a victory in itself. The documentary is an eye-opener to the hearts and minds of free activists, who fight for an idea larger than themselves.
Recently the regime labelled the documentary as extreme material; unworthy and forbidden to watch in the country!

Independence Day of Belarus
Belarus' major state holiday, Independence Day, was celebrated all over the country on 3 July. The highlight of the festivities was a military parade and a sports and youth procession that marched along the Minsk Hero City Memorial symbolizing the courage and fortitude of Minsk defenders. Belarus' President Alexander Lukashenko reviewed the troops. The parade features over 3,000 military men and more than 150 military vehicles, new weapons, modern aircrafts, and legendary combat vehicles used during the Great Patriotic War. Among the guests of honor were Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and President of Laos Choummaly Sayasone. The military parade was concluded by a show of the guards of honor, which is one of the world's best. After that the flagmen of Belarus' mechanical engineering industry flaunted their best machinery, including BelAZ and MAZ trucks, Belarus tractors, Gomselmash combined harvesters, Amkodor machinery and other vehicles that are well-known far beyond Belarus... The sports and youth procession represented a spectacular show, too. The procession featured famous athletes and young hopefuls.
Inauguration of Belarus President
The solemn inauguration ceremony of newly elected President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko was held in the Big Hall of the Palace of the Republic.
In the presence of senior officials and numerous guests, President Alexander Lukashenko, with his right hand on the Constitution of Belarus, said the words of the oath: Assuming the office of President of the Republic of Belarus, I solemnly swear to faithfully serve the people of the Republic of Belarus, to respect and protect human rights and freedoms of citizens, to respect and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus, conscientiously and faithfully discharge the high duties assigned to me.
After signing the act of oath, Chairperson of the Central Election Commission Lidia Yermoshina handed Alexander Lukashenko the certificate of the President of the Republic of Belarus.

Many young people see no position for themselves in Belarus because few believe that the opposition can ever win; it's true. Young people have harder times now because we have tasted democracy already - in 1991 to 1994 when we had freedom and democracy. And then all those Soviet things started to come back. We see all that and consider leaving this country and moving abroad.

STORYLINE:
If Belarus strongman, President Alexander Lukashenko, gets to keep his power after elections on September 9th, disaffected young people say it could drive them to leave the country.
Dmitry Kasperovich, a 20-year old student of the Minsk Institute of Culture says that he and many of his schoolmates would be likely to take that course because of the lack of democracy.
Lukashenko has headed this impoverished former Soviet republic of 10 million people with an iron hand for seven years, shutting down opposition media and jailing political opponents.
But he is still popular in Belarus for his attempt to hold together the Soviet-era social safety net, and is widely expected to win Sunday's election over his opponents, Vladimir Goncharik, who leads a broad based coalition and who backs democratic reform and the centrist politician Sergei Gaidukevich, who wants liberal economic reforms.
A former collective farm manager and border guard officer, Lukashenko extended his original five-year term by two years in 1996 through a referendum most Western governments refused to recognise.
But Dmitry Kasperovich says Lukashenko is leading Belarus nowhere and calls him a dictator.
A long-time member of the opposition Youth Front, a branch of the Popular Front of Belarus, Dmitry says he had enough of Lukashenko's repressive ways.
Youth Front members are vocal protesters of the regime and their unsanctioned demonstrations often end up in scuffles with riot police.
Dmitry's mother Tatyana says she supports her son's struggle.
She adds that she wants her son to live in a democratic country.
But on Sunday's elections, the voices of people like Dmitry and his mother are likely to be overwhelmed by those of Lukashenko's supporters.
The Belarus leader still can count on his power base in rural areas and is widely expected to retain power.

CROSSROADS Documentary trailer
Documentary (62 min)
Valery Liashkevich is a homeless artist who lives at a railway station and for over twenty years has painted pictures in the streets of the town of Gomel in Belarus. For the natives he is no more than a local attraction. For art critics he is a phenomenon worth close attention. The filmmakers set out to show that this eccentric artist and philosopher has many important truths to tell us about the meaning of life, that his work and attitude to the world make deep sense. Two large exhibitions of his works, one of them at the National Art Museum in Minsk, were a huge success and garnered the interest of art critics. The documentary was made with private money to support this extremely talented artist.
CROSSROADS is debut by Anastasiya Miroshnichenko and it was created without any financial support. The film Crossroads was conceived as a charity project to help the homeless artist Valery Liashkevich. Our main goal was to give a hand to a man who had encountered troubles. Till now we’ve archived a lot with the help of the film. We have already organized 2 personal exhibitions of the artist’s artworks. One of which has been held in the National Art Museum of Belarus, which means a very high level. We have also created a personal bank account for the artist. We’ve been selling Valery’s artworks for more than a year. Many people were eager to help Valery financially after watching the film. By now we have quite enough money to buy a modest house for him around Homel. Valery is looking for the most appropriate variant now. We believe that before autumn he will have the roof above his head, as we call it.

Belarus is a landlocked nation with a rich and complicated history dating back hundreds of years. Its location put it in the middle of many wars, including the Napoleonic War and both world wars.

5 Facts You Might Not Know
1
Belarus is a land of castles and fortifications. Its turbulent history of locals fighting off invaders and its own diverse cultural groups waging battles against each other left behind intriguing castles across its landscape, some from as early as the Middle Ages. Key sites are the Nesvizh Castle, built in the 13th century and greatly modified in 16th century; the Krevo Castle ruins, from the 14th century; and Mir Castle, dating back to the 16th century.
2
It has historic cathedrals and churches from both Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions. Noteworthy are St. Sophia's Cathedral in Polotsk and the Monastery of Zhirovitchy in Minsk. Minority faiths are Jewish, Muslim and Protestant.
3
It is home to the zoobr, also called the wisent. Related to the buffalo, it was nearly extinct but the surviving animals were bred and the species rescued. Many live at the wildlife refuge at Belavezhskaya Pushcha National Park.
4
One of its most famous native sons was painter Marc Chagall, who was born in 1887 in Vitebsk. The early modernist artist escaped the Holocaust and fled to the U.S. His surrealistic works are celebrated at the Marc Chagall Museum in Vitebsk.
5
It was attacked by the Nazis and has many World War II memorials. At Brest Fortress, soldiers furiously fought off the Germans. The soldiers did not surrender, but were eventually overpowered. Belarus today honors those who defended the fortress against the Nazis for so long before being killed or captured.
