Minsk isn't the most forward, wealthy or democratic of cities, but hey, it's safer than Prague, cheaper than Budapest, less hectic than Moscow and a damn sight cleaner than London. Almost completely rebuilt after its near-total destruction during WWII, it was, in the 1950s and 1960s, the most advanced and modern Soviet city. With its wide streets, large parks, avant-garde architecture and intimate bars. Minsk offers almost everything you need from a modern city, whether you're coming to discuss collective farming, do a bit of spying, or simply have a nice holiday.
