Minsk is the capital of the Republic of Belarus. This is an old city that was first mentioned in chronicles in 1067. Not much remains from the ancient past except several buildings from the 17th century. The city was almost ruined during World War II, and later, in 1974, it was named a Hero City for its great sufferings. The World War II period wasn't the only time when the city underwent armed attacks. Minsk also suffered during the Russian-Polish war in 1654-1667, and during the time when Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812.
