Notes
Belarusian local_name replaces the Ukrainian input exonym. The short-lived Biarozawski name was replaced in 1960. Biełaaziorsk in older łacinka quotations is not identical to the 2007 geographical spelling Bielaaziorsk. The Belarusian 2007 geographical system is identified by date; no claim that it remains the unchanged domestic standard after 2023.
