What is the difference between Belarus and Russia? Why Belarus? People in Belarus are very white?

The difference between Belarus and Russia:

1, Belarusians and Russians are not a nation.

In ancient times, Belarusians, as a part of the Eastern Slavic branch, retained purer guslav blood and characteristics than Russians and Ukrainians, so Belarus can be interpreted as "pure Russian".

2. Belarus and Russia have different land areas and geographical locations.

Belarus is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe, bordering Poland, Lithuania and Latvia in the northwest, and its territorial area ranks 13 in Europe. The whole country is located in the plain of Eastern Europe, and Minsk is the capital of Belarus. Russia is the largest country across Eurasia in the world, and its capital is Moscow.

3. Belarus and Russia are two independent sovereign states.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Belarus joined the United Nations as an independent country. Belarus has its own army, national flag, national emblem, national anthem, country name and international domain suffix, and has its own system in culture and education. With embassies in many countries, it is an independent sovereign country.

In addition to the official language Russian, Belarus also has its own language-Belarusian.

Belarusian and Russian are the official languages of the country, but the usage rate of Russian is extremely high. Russian is used in TV, newspapers and people's daily life.

Minsk, the capital of Belarus, and Moscow are located in different time zones.

Belarus time is earlier than Moscow time in Russia 1 hour, such as 7 o'clock in Belarus and 8 o'clock in Russia.

The origin of the name: Belarus, pronounced like "Luxi of Belarus", literally means "Belarus" in Belarusian, that is, "Belarus". In ancient times, this nation liked to wear bleached linen clothes and tied white cloth on its legs, so it was not named because people in Belarus were very white. Others say that Belarusians were liberated from the rule of Tatars, and White means freedom or liberation.
