As before, I've got a few free hours. Ask a 29yo Belarusian dude anything.

What would happen if a Western tourist like me went to Minsk? I want to visit all countries in Europe and Belarus is one of the last left. I met a rich Russian guy in Finland who often went to Minsk and told me it would be very hard for someone who doesn't speak Russian to travel there successfully.

When will you stop this "independent country" meme and just rejoin your Russian neighbours?
E
>>62212377
why should your opinion on any given subject matter in the first place? are you a person of some importance, a trained specialist perhaps? specify your area of expertise, I'm not interested in shallow judgements of a random person who happened to be born in this or that country

What are the typical belarusian dish?
>>62212617
Potato with potato sauce.
>>62212617
Draniki. (Hashbrown).
>>62212449
Nope, you will find lots of English-speaking people in the downtown of Minsk. Just pick young ppl 20-30 years old, especially hipsters.
>>62212509
No way. Why would we, in your opinion?
>>62212543
This is int, so deal with it. If you don't like my expertise, go eat your cabanos somewhere else.
>>62212617
DRANIKI (potato pancakes)
>>62212688
you haven't specified your area of expertise at all
why would your opinion mean anything? I repeat my question - are you someone important?
>>62212688
ok thanks m8, will work on it
>>62212720
fuck off butthurt pole
>>62212741
butthurt, eh? because I insist on clarifying what information is this Belarussian capable of giving?
Is belarus even real?
>>62212798
meme country should be given back to Poland
>>62212720
Yes, I'm VERY important. I'm the future king of Poland. So heed me as if you're an obedient peasant.
>>62212798
Pretty much real, though both Russkies and Polacks think otherwise.
>>62212917
sure, any proofs?
>>62212863
Only in your wet dream.
What's your opinion on Russian reunification, and what's the general opinion in Belarus? Also, what makes Belorussian culture different to Russian culture?
>>62213661
Real belorusians barely exist. Modern belorusians are mostly just regular russians.
>>62213704
Hence why I'm interested what makes them different enough to be a separate state.
>>62213782
under russian rule means u will be poor and have aids
under polish rule means u will be butthurt for your whole life
Belarussians want to be poor and alone i guess
>>62213661
I'm as against it as it is possible to be. General opinion here after Donbass would be like 35% for it, 65% against, I guess.
The culture of Belarus is pretty much typical to Eastern European Slavs, it is not as touched by Asian influence, as Russian culture.
>>62213704
Yeah, they might look like regular Russians, but very few among them really consider themselves TO BE Russians. Belarusians are here to stay now. 25 years of independence did what they were supposed to do.
>>62213782
>what makes them different enough to be a separate state
Nothing, it's just happened what Y*ltsin wanted to be an independent president, not under USSR rule
>>62212377
Ha бeлopyccкoм гoвopишь?
>>62213995
You can call you even ayyylmao but you are still russian.
>>62213661
1. Reunification. Official opinion -- "Ukraine is an independent country and Crimea is its legal part".
2. Culture. Its a difficult question. TV in Belarus is almost russian, language is russian everywhere. Belorussian language becomes exotic.
>>62214064
So, basically, what you're saying is that the nation does not decide who and what are they, it is Russians who decide who's Russian now. Kek, it's all you need to know about modern Russkie.
>>62214040
Taк, paзмayляю, aлe бoльш чытaю poзнyю лyхтy.
>>62214220
>>62213995
in fact "belarus" is someone like "cubanoid" or "sibiryak"
you were just lucky enough to get your state from commies
>>62213995
>>62214187
Thanks for the opinions lads. Also, is there anything worth coming to Belarus for as a tourist? I know you said earlier it'd be hard to get around Minsk without Russian but I'm not opposed to learning it.
>>62214220
Now, I say that your actual nationality is determined by cultural field, language etc you live in. You are absolutely identical to russians in any mean. The same language, the same traditions, everything is the same.
>>62214293
Well, once we were a part of the state that burnt your Moscow to the ground three times. Sounds a bit different to me than just sibiryaks.
>>62214343
That will be the official reason for your government to invade us if we ever get to go the Ukrainain way.
>>62214455
> we wuz kings
Please don't fight lads, I just want to learn about meme countries on the other side of Europe.
>tfw you will never see revolutions in both Russia and Belarus and reunification
>>62214455
Lithuanians were that state, not you.
Is it true Yung Lean was born in Belarus, and also why is he so popular with russian speakers?
Why don't you guys come here to work unlike Ukrainians?
>>62214808
Their country is not that shit.
>that imperialistic butthurt
How many people can speak english in Бeлapycь?
>>62212377
Is Belarus stolen Lithuanian land?
>>62215112
its PLC clay and the people were brainwashed by stalin
>>62215112
Is USA a stolen land of Maya and other tribes?
>>62215180
>Maya and other tribes?
That's Mexico. And if you go south, they haven't totally destroyed Maya culture.
The US on the other hand completely eradicated Native cultures and peoples. And it's been pretty successful for them.
Kak zhizn bratishka?
>>62215112
It is part of Rus' that was stolen by Lithuania and then stolen by Moscow. But Moscow at least was another part of Rus' (Vladimir dutchy).
>>62212377
Is it peaceful? Are people friendly and cute?
>>62215180
>USA
>Maya
>Belorussian education
>>62215180
No, that is Mexico, we stole our land from stateless nomads
>>62215164
Brainwashed by Stalin into believing what?
>>62215262
before stalin came all people spoke Polish there now they speak Russian guess what he did
>>62215180
>Maya
>Belarusian education
Kek
>>62214721
He is popular in the West, and only then with Russian teens.
>>62214808
Our average salary is x2 of Ukrainian. If it falls down, expect me to storm Warsaw for jobs, kek

Almost all young people mumble some English. Downtown part of Minsk is crowded with English-literate Uni students. Don't know or care) about other cities.
>>62215225
Skripim potikhoo!
>>62215233
It's peaceful, but only friendly people are young people. Older people seem very sullen.
>>62215262
Why do you lie? "Freedom" is freedom for europeans, not coloured slaves in USA. When we will see a latin president in USA.
How cute are belorussian qts and what do they think about getting some strong latino seed.
Also tell me about belorussian literature
B
>>62215552
I enjoy your triggered butthurt, but your English isn't making sense right now--probably because you are overwhelmed with rage, my Russian-living-on-Lithuanian-land friend.
>>62215680
Do you think I hate USA? No. And you are not friend to me.
Don't know what you're hoping to achieve by saying "Belarus is not a real country". Leave it to Russians, they have been doing it for a long time now.
op
>>62216225
Obviously they are trying to make you butthurt, my belarusian friend
not op
do you speak belarussian?
>>62216850
>2016
>speaking belarusian
not op2
>>62216891
very sad imo
why did belarussian disappear so fast?
same thing happened in ireland, we're irish and speak english with a funny accent but dont speak irish
>>62216891
Cuck :((((
not op
>>62216225
>Don't know what you're hoping to achieve by saying "Belarus is not a real country". Leave it to Russians
Your country is a Russian property. Economically, politically and even culturally. The question is if majority of Belarusian society likes it
>>62217116
>Cuck :((((
Our whole country is one massive cuck(
>>62217101
>why did belarussian disappear so fast?
Years of polonization, after that years of russification, and then we actually got indepedence we have found out that belarusian was obsolete.
>>62217302
>we have found out that belarusian was obsolete.
only because you dont use it
Hey, OP, what do you think about this?
>>62212377
1. How are relations with Lithuania and Poland? I know a bit about the Grand Duchy and Commonwealth, but how has that affected times now (hostile/peaceful)?
2. How true is the statement in pic? Did the Mongol attacks have a lasting effect on modern Russia, Ukraine, or Belarus?
3. Do you think your country's borders have been appropriately laid out? I personally hear very little news of Belarus in general, but are their disputes/tensions with neighboring countries?
>>62217387
For most of the people out here russian is native language. It's hard for them to start speak it out of nowhere.
Basically
>people want to speak belarusian but it's obsolete
>they give up
>language become even more obsolete
Also since basically no one can speak pure belarussian it's better to let it die in peace then to try to bring it up in a twisted form of "trasyanka".
>>62217527
4. Is there some kind of regional divide throughout the country of Belarus (like north-south Italy, north-south Britain, east-west Ukraine, etc.)?
Post YT links to songs of Belarusian popstars that are currently most popular on radio/TV
>>62217527
1. not really good, not bad either
2.they did not
3. borders are okay
>>62217923
there are more catholics in the west part of the country, otherwise no
not op
>>62214808
Because they haven't imploded their country yet, unlike the Ukrainians.
>>62212377
хyли я eгo тoлькo ceйчac зaмeтил ?
>>62219642
>belarus
>havent imploded their country
They just hang anyone that tries to leave.
>>62219642
why hasn't russia annexed ukraine yet and saved them some grace. stupid hohols have the resources to develop themselves but instead jerk off to god knows what.
>>62213995
Belarus is the original Slavic homeland. They emerged as Venedi from the Belarusian swamps and forests.
>>62215616
This girl is one of the best. Literature? Bykov, Korotkevich, Gardey.
