about

Minsk is the capital of Belarus, on the Svislach River. Broad avenues and large public squares reflect the extensive rebuilding that followed the Second World War.

Minsk est la capitale du Bélarus, sur la Svislotch. Ses larges avenues et ses grandes places témoignent de la reconstruction menée après la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

notes

local_name is the Belarusian endonym; Russian Минск is also official. Mensk is not the present official name. Belarusian 2007/UN 2012 forms are historical-system alternatives; no claim of conformity with the changed domestic 2023 rules. Some alternatives are explicitly standard-derived retrieval forms, not individually attested press spellings; this contributes to medium certainty.
