"World War II Veterans" Belarus Favorite Tip by Dirim

Belarus Favorites: 15 reviews and 11 photos

 
 

Favorite thing: I have met them when I was walking by river Muhavets. I asked them if I could have a photo of them. They politely accepted that. I tried to talk with them about the war. They were so proud. They did not want to talk about themselves. I wanted to take their adresses to send them the photos. They rejected, with a honorable facial expression,like rejecting to be a subject of tourism.

Luckily, I tried to be as respectful as possible and I think I did no wrong to them, and maybe that's why they accepted my wish to take thier photos.

So, I really want you to be very sensitive against them. Keep in mind that 20 million Soviet citizens lost their lives in the war. They have fought for a country which does not exist anymore
