BELARUS


The back of the card included the following description:  Once the largest urban district of the capital, the Trinity Suburb is now a tiny island of the past, scrupulously restored over the past twenty years by assiduous historians, architects, and renovators.  With its olderly houses and tidy roofs the Trinity Suburb looks a lot like a stage set, but this set dressing has managed the impossible - to maintain some charming old-world aura.  A narrow crook-backed bridge connects the Trinity Suburb and the Isle of Tears, a solemn piece of land with a memorial commemorating the sons of Motherland who perished in foreign lands.

Thanks Maasrusik for the card (BY-202261).
