Capital status
National capital of Belarus
Minsk is the capital and largest city of Belarus, with a population of roughly 1.9 million, and the country's political, economic, and cultural centre. It observes Moscow Time (MSK, UTC+3) year-round with no daylight saving; Belarus stopped changing its clocks in 2011 and fixed itself permanently on UTC+3. Minsk is also the administrative seat of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the regional bloc of former Soviet republics. The city was almost entirely destroyed during the Second World War and was rebuilt in a monumental Soviet style, with broad avenues and Stalinist-era architecture defining its centre. As the hub of Belarus's industry and government, Minsk anchors the national economy and serves as the principal gateway for travel into the country.
