  Oh, you've missed. I'm from Ukraine, not from Belarus. =)

  Yes, that's right, but in fact the problem of Chernobyl is not so
 huge as it sometimes is described.

  Not in Ukrain. Though some people would like it to be true.

  This sign has nothing to do with Russia or Russian language. ;)
 It's symbolics of USSR.

 GP> Religion is predominantly Roman Catholic & Eastern Orthodox. . .
  Eastern Orthodox mainly.

 GP> It's a major transport link for former Soviet states. . .
  I didn't know this fact about Belarus! Thanks, it's very interesting. :)

  I wonder what there are in your Almanac about Ukraine?

 And here's the state emblem of our country, primitively drown by me:

 We call it Trident.
