The National Library in Minsk, capital city of Belarus
Belarus, or Republic of Belarus, is a land-locked country in Eastern Europe. Belarus has been independent from the Soviet Union since 1991.
The Belarusian flag is made up of two horizontal stripes, with a wider red stripe at the top and a thinner green one at the bottom. There is a traditional Belarusian red and white pattern in a strip down the left side, and this pattern is also often used to decorate folk costumes. The national flag of Belarus was formally changed on June 7, 1995, following a referendum voted on by the Belarusian people.
