MINSK

Minsk is the capital of Byelorussia, its political, economic and industrial center. Before the revolution it was a provincial town with some 100,000 inhabitants. Years of development transformed Minsk entirely. Today it is a large modern city with a population of some 800,000 people.

2. Minsk is a cultural and scientific center of Byelorussia. It has many museums, but perhaps the most famous are the Museum of the 1^st Congress of the RSDLP and the Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War.

Before the revolution there was not a single higher educational establishment in Minsk. There are now nearly thirty educational establishments including the University and many scientific research institutes.

Nowadays Minsk is a city of highly developed industry. The powerful MAZ lorries of the Minsk Automobile Works are famous not only in the country but far beyond its borders. The designers of the Minsk universal electronic computers, the most popular in the country, were awarded the State Prize. Farmers highly appreciate the new Minsk tractors which are highly reliable and easy to work. The Minsk Tractor Works is one of the biggest industrial enterprises. Every day hundreds of bright newly painted machines leave the factory gates. With each passing year the tractor builders perfect their skills and improve the technology of production.

Minsk workers are on friendly terms with their colleagues from other countries. Many specialists come from other countries to perfect their skills.
