The Chronicles of Demolition 03/14/2007 - 01:41 / Nasha Niva The recent years of the “neo-soviet capitalism” in Belarus have been marked by numerous “city restoration projects”. Allegedly aimed at restoring the old parts of Belarusian towns, in reality they ruined them for the sake of the new rich, willing to build another restaurant, bowling, or a parking lot. Minsk has seen, perhaps, the most violent “renovation”, which is just coming into a full swing.

The Lie of the Land 03/09/2007 - 14:17 / Economist Should we ban the term “Europe”? It will be much used—and misused—at the EU’s 50-year anniversary celebrations in Berlin. “Europe” is certainly not the European Union. Cities like Königsberg and Lemberg have been European for centuries (albeit not under those names). They won’t be in the EU any time soon. comments: 0
