The History of Belarus.
I was born in Belarus and I have always been interested in the history of my homeland. Belarus is a unique country. I think the Belarusians can be proud of their past, culture and art. The ancestors of the Belarusians were eastern Slavonic tribes (племена): the Krivichi, Dregovichi and Radimichi.
But according to some written documents Belarus appeared as a state in 10th century when Prince Rogvolod began his reign (царствование) on Polotsk land which was the historic and religious centre of the Belarusian nation and culture.
From the 13th till 16th centuries the territory of contemporary Belarus was the centre of The Grand Principality of Lithuania, which was one of the largest and most powerful states in Eastern Europe with a high level of political and cultural development.
In 1517 Doctor Francisk Scoryna published the Bible in the Belarusian language and it was a very important event (событие) in the life of Belarusian people.
In the 18th century Belarus became a part of Russia. Soon after the October Revolution on January 1, 1919 Belarus was declared the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic and in 1922 it became a member of the USSR.
Belarus proclaimed its Sovereignty on July 27, 1991.
During its history Belarus has been the arena of many wars and aggressions. World War II brought the country great losses. Manu Belarusian villages and towns were burned in ashes (сожжены до тла). But Belarus managed to restore its cities. Belarusian people value (ценят) peace and want to live in good neigh-bour relations with all other nations.
The Role of Belarus on the International Arena.
As a sovereign country, Belarus enjoys full rights and is active on the international arena. Belarus is a member of the United Nations Organization (UNO) and it takes an active part in the work of this association. Belarus regularly sends its delegations to the sessions of the UNO General Assembly, has its permanent delegation and its own staff in it. Belarus is a member of some international specialized organizations, commissions, bureaus, funds and other organs.
On the initiative of Belarus the international organizations have adopted a number of important decisions, particularly on the punishment of war criminals, on education of youth in the spirit of ideas of peace and friendship among nations. Belarus has signed many treaties, agreements, protocols and conventions on co-operation with other countries in various fields.
The Belarusian people broaden (расширяют) its ties with the people of other countries. Its public organizations have established direct contacts and exchange delegations with their trade unions, youth, women's and sports organizations.
