Landing in My Belarusy Trivia Quiz

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Minsk is the capital city of Belarus. When was it founded?

Answer: 1067

Minsk was first spoken of as Měneskъ (Мѣнескъ) in the Primary Chronicle for 1067 together with the Battle of the River Nemiga. 1067 is now widely acknowledged as the founding year of Minsk.

2. I didn't know what Belarus' terrain was before landing here. What terrain does Belarus envelop?

Answer: Flat with hills, marshes and lakes

The nation has a flat landscape crossed by hills, flatlands, and lowlands with marshes and lakes. Lowlands with fundamental heights of up to 200m account for about 70% of the country's domain, and hills, for roughly 30%.

3. I didn't think Belarus is very big, from the airport, and I was correct. How large is Belarus in terms of land area?

Answer: 207,600 km�

Belarus is a medium-sized European nation. The whole area is 207,600 km2 or nearly 2% of the total area of Europe. Belarus is the 13th largest country among 44 continental European states making it the world's 84th largest country.

4. I don't know any of these languages, online translators help these days. What are the official languages of Belarus?

Answer: Belarusian and Russian

Belarusian is an East Slavic language. It is one of the two official languages in Belarus, the other being Russian. Additionally, it is spoken in parts of neighbouring countries by Belarusian people in those nations. Russian, however is the most common language in Belarus. 70% or so of the population speak the language at home.

5. I feel hungry on the streets of Minsk, and grab the national dish for breakfast. What is it?

Answer: Draniki

These potato and onion pancakes are just what your tongue is looking for when you feel hungry. Crispy, they are fried in pork fat and served as a side dish in Belarus.

6. That draniki wasn't expensive, it only cost a few... wait, what's the currency of Belarus called, again?

Answer: Belarusian ruble

The Belarusian ruble is the official currency of Belarus. Its symbol is a p followed by a full stop (period), looking a bit like this - p. . It is split into 100 kopecks.

7. I am a Buddhist myself, but many Belarusians aren't. What is the main religion of Belarus?

Answer: Christianity

Christianity is the main religion in Belarus, Eastern Orthodoxy being the largest denomination, with 83.3% of the population following it. Catholicism is second at 6.7%. 1% of the population follows other Christian religions, 7.8% are atheist, and 0.2% follow other religions.

8. Back to the future- no, terrain we go. What is the highest point of Belarus?

Answer: Dzyarzhynskaya Hara

Dzyarzhynskaya Hara is the highest peak, or should I say mound in Belarus. This mountain is 345 m above the sea, but its prominence in the surrounding area is only about 1.5 m! (check out the images on the internet). Also causing controversy is Google's inability to showcase the proper location of the peak - where Google says it is is actually 7 km from the real location.

9. The Belarusian flag is a spectacle, but what are the colours on this symbol?

Answer: Red, white and green

The flag of Belarus is a red and green flag with an ornament on the left side. The ornament, to me resembles a carpet, but what it is supposed to represent is a 'ruchnik', a decorative cloth.

10. Does Belarus enforce the death penalty?

Answer: Yes

Yes, Belarus does enforce the death penalty, and is the only European country that does so. This can be enforced for crimes against the state or even individuals!
