Minsk, the City and the Rivers

With a population of 2,002,600 in 2013, it is the largest city in Belarus. The earliest history of Minsk dates as far as the 11th century. The settlement developed on the Svislach and Nyamiha rivers.

Greetings from Minsk
I love the recently received postcard BY-927451 from Belarus. It shows a part of city Minsk called
Troitskoye Predmestye (Trinity Suburb) in vivid colors. In spite of the name of Suburb, it is Minsk's old town, located in the center of Minsk and was a cultural and economic center about 100 years ago. On the left bottom of the postcard, it says:" Greetings from Minsk" in native Belarusian language.
