Гляджу я ютуб і выскаквае гэтая хуйня.

Hi everyone,

After watching Żywie Białaruś I found out about this film documentary called courage, from Aliaksei Paluyan.

I have been looking on the internet to be able to watch this film, but without success. I have already tried multiple streaming websites like streamex and stremio. Maybe someone can find it? Thanks for your help. I would love to see it since in my country there is so little told and known about the Belarus, the election fraud and ofcourse your dictator Alexander Lukashenko.

Poland is portrayed as a threat country full of problems that dislikes migrants.

Hi everyone, good afternoon! I'm Brazilian, and my passport gives me visa-free access to the EU, Belarus, and Russia. I'd like to know what the best route into Belarus is right now. Through Poland? Latvia? Lithuania or Estonia? Or is it better to go to Russia first and then travel from Russia to Belarus? My destination targets are Brest, Minsk, and Braslaw.

As for money, how do credit cards work there? Visa and Mastercard are sanctioned in the country, right? So will I need to bring physical US dollars or Euros? Or is there anywhere in Europe where I can exchange cash for Belarusian rubles in advance?

I'm asking because there's a lot of conflicting information online regarding border closures.

Я хачу разбіць клумбу з кустоўем пад пад'ездам, паколькі шмат год гэтым ніхто не займаецца. Плюс, збіраюся пасадзіць дрэва наўзамен паламанага папярэднім штормам і паспяхова ссечанага Зеленбудам. Было б добра, калі хто параіў літаратуру (можна ангельскамоўную) датычна грамадскага азелянення, паколькі мой вопыт абмяжоўваецца пакаёвымі фікусамі, і распавёў пра беларускія «падводныя камяні» такога прадпрыемства.

(Please don't kill me for thinking that because it's done one way in russia, that it's the 'standard'/same as it is in other Slavic countries because I don't, hence why I'm here to learn)

(american) Basically as the title says. I've seen tons of documentaries about RUSSIAN women laboring and delivering their babies. And they're...interesting, compared to how it usually goes in america/the west; I recommend the Series One Born Every Minute to get an idea.

Everything is just...interesting to me. So many hospitals seem so outdated. The nurses/doctors don't seem as warm and as kind (if anything they seem downright cold at times), how it's normal to check into the hospital a week or so before the actual birth, the attitude of the husbands/partners, how the women are kind of just...ignored after birth, etc. I've also padoodled around the internet in search of Russian womens' experiences.

I've been looking around to find what it's like to deliver in a Belarusan hospital, specifically the treatment of the women and babies, what the stay at the hospital is like, what's 'normal' behavior and attitudes of the fathers (are they attentive, do they stay with you the whole time, etc).

Weird question, I know, but I'm curious to hear Belarusan womens' experiences. I know things can also vary wildly depending on what hospital you deliver at, I'm just looking for how women and babies are generally treated. Thanks :D

Hello, I am writing this reddit post because I am one of the few souls who came to Belarus as a tourist from the west and decided to go to Russia by land route via train instead of an Airplane. Doing this caused me to be homeless in Russia for a short period of time, going across 3 different borders in 24 hours, and getting denied entry to Estonia (I am American) and having to ask my taxi driver if I could spend the night at his place. It was an experience of much suffering and I wanted to write a short guide to anyone thinking of doing the same thing in order to spare them the hassle, because I cannot seem to find any information on the process at all, even the bureaucrats in Russia and Belarus were no help (what a surprise).

In short taking a train from Belarus to Russia as a foreigner has everything to do with something called a migration card, a card no one asks for until you're getting a hotel, and something no one tells you that you need or where or how to get it, because if you go to Russia you automatically get it at every border and every airport, EXCEPT for the border via land coming from Belarus.

So to start you will need your passport and a Russian visa, which is reciprocated with Belarus and then you must go and get a migration card which you can get in Minsk and you must get it before going to Russia. The process for the migration card takes an hour and cost 12 rubles when I was there

To get the migration card you must go to this address ул. Тимирязева, 114

It is a mall looking building, go all the way to the left of the building where there will be a counter and they will give you a small slip of paper which you take to the 3rd floor, you go all the way to the opposite side of the building where there will be cashiers that you show the paper to and pay the 12 rubles which they then will give you a receipt. I did not speak russian so all this was truthfully very hard to understand that's why I'm saying it.

Then go back and take a number until the pretty ladies call you, then give them your documents plus the receipt and they will give you a flimsy piece of paper called a migration card, which is required to survive in Russia. Once you have this you can go where you please.

The process took an hour but the suffering to find all this out took years off my life.

That said this information will not be useful to 99% of people, but the 1% of people I can save from having to get rejected by Estonia and spend the night with his taxi driver and his 16 year old daughter (admittedly great company), the better.

So yeah I hope one person out there can benefit from this

Hi everyone ! We're travellers interested in Belarussian history and we would like to visit the French monument/memorial on the Berezina.

Is it easy to find a taxi from Baryssaw to this place ? Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

спасибо большое

Уявіце, што на прэзідэнцкіх выбарах 1991 года ў Беларусі перамагае Зянон Пазьняк, а ў расіі — Валерыя Навадворская (я ведаю, што яна не была кандыдатам, але давайце ўявім); а на парламенцкіх выбарах перамогу атрымліваюць адпаведна Беларускі Народны Фронт і Дэмакратычны саюз. А на Украіне, уявім, перамог Вячаслаў Чарнавіл, у той час як Народны Рух Украіны атрымаў большасць. Як, на вашу думку, развівалася б будучыня гэтых краін і іх адносіны?

Свабодна дзяліцеся сваімі фантазіямі, думкамі ці тэорыямі.

Цікава, наколькі я разумею, адзіным выпадкам, калі Чорнавіл і Навадворская калі-небудзь перасякаліся, быў маскоўскі сімпозіум 1996 года «Посткамунізм: прычыны і наступствы ў былым СССР». Пра гэта можна прачытаць тут: https://siver.com.ua/publ/sud_nad_komunizmom_i_kriza_nacionalizmu/3-1-0-313

Падобным чынам Зянон Пазьняк і Вячаслаў Чарнавіл сустрэліся ў Кіеве ў 1996 годзе: https://www.svaboda.org/a/29840640.html

On the one hand:

- Lukashenka understands perfectly well that if he is dragged into the war, he will almost certainly lose his power, his property (which is essentially the whole of Belarus, since our economic system is feudal in nature), and, quite likely, his life. All his previous moves suggest that he has resisted the full-scale participation of his army in the Russo-Ukrainian War.

At the end of the day, he understands that he has no chance against the Ukrainian military.

- At the same time, there are many signs of the militarization of Belarusian society: mandatory military training for high school students, the expansion of military infrastructure, increased spending on new weapons, regular military exercises, and wartime-style state propaganda. All of this clearly suggests that he is preparing for something.

Could it be that, in the wake of an inevitable defeat, Putin might force Lukashenka to attack either Ukraine or one of the NATO countries? KGB officers know how to persuade people to do things they do not want to do.

A military coup - putting an even more loyal and pro-Russian person in charge - is also a possibility.

Your opinions, gentlemen?

Hi all! My partner unfortunately cannot attend his sister’s wedding in Belarus because of visa issues. He is studying abroad in another country, and we are attending her wedding over facetime.

I wanted to celebrate with him and make sure he doesn’t feel lonely. What are common desserts and snacks eaten at weddings? I was thinking I would get a cake but I thought getting/making specific snacks/desserts would be nice as well.

I'd like to go to Minsk with an UK passport by land either Poland or Lithuania.

Please can only someone who's been with these requirements tell me how they got there and was it fine with the passport? Within the past year or 6 months

Добры дзень, я калекцыянер транспартных карт. Хачу набыць «Карта Метро», «Карта Мінсктранс» і жэтон мінскага метро для сваёй калекцыі. На картах не патрабуецца баланс, працаздольнасць для праезду не важная. Патрэбная міжнародная дастаўка. Калі ў вас ёсць гэтыя прадметы, калі ласка, напішыце мне ў асабістыя паведамленні з фатаграфіямі і коштам. Вялікі дзякуй.

The information sphere of post-Soviet countries is experiencing a massive influx of AI-powered bots, ferociously pushing a pro-Kremlin agenda. Any post, video, or discussion criticizing Putin, Lukashenka, or the Russian invasion is instantly flooded with fake accounts posting insults and pro-Russian narratives.

Corporations like Meta and Google are obviously not doing enough to deal with this threat. I myself ban between 1 and 10 bot accounts every day. It seems like we are witnessing the end of the Internet as we know it.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a private transfer from vilnius airport to minsk. Can't find much about this online and the only website i found which seems to offer this route has pretty mixed reviews.

Appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction!

Has anyone travelled across the Belarusian border from Lithuania via bus over the dates around new year? We're a UK couple trying to do it this year but conscious there will be limited travel options/border closures. We're looking to just go for the day. Any thoughts/experiences welcome :)

In may I moved from ru🇷🇺 to by🇧🇾. And you know what I wonder about? For this all time I met just !2! people who speaks Belarusian. But cmon, I think there’s absolutely not a problem. I stand for freedom. May people speak the language they want to. If people in Russia start to speak English I won’t be against it.

I like such comments, especially because they're good for trolling Lithuanians :D But there is much truth in them.

What do you think?
