Bob Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Intend to go back to Belarus this summer - travelling around the country extensively by car (assuming it doesn't get stolen along the way... in Ukraine the 1 night I had not parked my Audi in guarded parking there was an attempt to steal it within 2 hours of it standing alone).I've been to Belarus before but the highlights warrent another visit:- Brest fortress (absolutely magnificant to walk around and also the museum)- Minsk (the Museum of Great Patriotic War is quite an experience)...and then see some of the places I haven't seen before.8 years ago I recall there was a market for medals in center of Minsk in the park - can anybody advise me on places to "shop" now?thanks,Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergey Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Today in the majority of republics of the former USSR sale and purchase of the state awards of the USSR is forbidden. Purchase of awards can be for you a problem with the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belaruski Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 The law on buying and selling of Soviet awards in Belarus is now quite severe. If I remember rightly it is 2 years in prison! (up to).Whilst you're there though, can you pick me up some odern Belarusian medals?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
