Goodbye "Hviderusland"! Hello Belarus!

We are encouraging to use the modern country name Belarus, instead of the outdated terms from the dark Soviet past like 'Byelorussia' and 'Hviderusland'. Since March 2021 the name Belarus was officially adopted in Danmark.

“I have visited Minsk three times. I met extreme kindness in the beautiful and interesting city – and I do want to return some day.

Sophia, the daughter of a Polotsk prince, was born in 1140 – and later became Queen of Denmark.

I have written a book about this fascinating woman”.
