Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: This was taken from the bus as we drove by.
Second World War Monument, 35 meter high man-made hill was established on the place where in the Soviet Army successfully completed the liberation of Minsk and Belarus from the Nazi occupation (1944). The hill is topped by four bayonets, was built from the scorched earth of nine "Hero Cities" of the USSR. Hero City is a Soviet honorary title awarded for outstanding heroism during the Great Patriotic War (World War II) of 1941 to 1945. It was awarded to twelve cities of the Soviet Union. In addition the Brest Fortress was awarded an equivalent title of Hero-Fortress. This symbolic distinction for a city corresponds to the individual distinction "Hero of the Soviet Union". Belarus was affected from the explosion of the reactor at Chernobyl. One fifth of the land could not be used for crops, that is now one seventh and it is monitored all the time. According to official post-Soviet data, about 60% of the radioactive fallout landed in Belarus. |
