That's sad. I wish they could at least transfer the data to somebody else.

Thank you for the touching words. Back in 1986 the situation was pretty scary. The worst thing about radiation is that when it kills you, you do not even notice this. And when notice - it is too late. Right now it is more or less back to normal. The places where radiation level is high are well known and marked so that you just avoid visiting these regions. But of course there are still a lot of traces left by the catastrophe that are just acting indivisibly influencing your health. Probably someone can write more about this.

Yeah, there's, for example, a place near Staryje Darogi, or Stolbcy (less then 100km to the east from Slutsk), where you cannot gather mushrooms 'cause they collect a lot of radiation...

As for me, some my friends recieve medical support as their parents have worked in those places (South-East Belarus).

It seems that interfax.by has bought the project.

Greetings Belorussian Forumers,

I am from Canada and do not speak Belorussian.

The reason I am posting in your forum is that I would like your help with posting pictures of new buildings built in traditional style. .

I would like to add some examples of Belorussian buildings built in traditional style which adhere to fidelity in design, materials, and/or construction methods of historic buildings.

For an example of what I mean, please see the thread below:

Thanks!

You mean something like this: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpo...7&postcount=52 which is not a real building but a project of a hotel in Nesvizh that should share the same style with Nesvizh castle in the same town. But if I got it right only finished buildings can be considered?

Yes precisely.

What is the name of this building and location?

Please post if you have more examples.

As I said, it is just a project of a hotel in Nesvizh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nesvizh) not a real building.

Would you accept sites that were destroyed in 19-20 centuries and restored now (e.g. Minsk city hall below)?

Excellent. Yes please post more examples of reconstructions as well as new buildings.

[Tomasz M. Bladyniec]

I see the church is already done. Last time I saw it, it was still under construction. Eastern Orthodox Church is very conservative in the matter of architecture of churches, so most of them will be built in a very traditional form I guess...
But maybe it's better than the new catholic ones, because they like to experiment and build scary things sometimes

Which structures with public observation decks exist in Belarus? The only one I know is Ferris wheel in Gorky Park Minsk.
