Pruzhany, the regional centre


In Pruzhany, a prosperous-seeming dairy town, the local official of the region was very welcoming. I gave him organic maple sugar candies and he gave me tourist brochures about the region, including photos of the Ruzhany castle. Shown here are me, the official, and Mr. Lukashenko, the (ever-present) Belarus ruler since 1994.

I saw many private flower gardens and well-kept houses in Pruzhany, and the central square is nicely landscaped around the requisite statue of Lenin.
