МИНСК

Full Metro, tram

The Minsk Metro, built in 1984, has 2 lines, 20 stations and 24 km of track. Indications are that it is completely underground.

On May 30, 1999, 53 people crushed to death in Niamiga Minsk subway station. Ironically, this same subway station was relocated when the system was under construction when an 11th century medieval town was discovered while digging. And, according to the Global Road Warrior, the Minsk metro is decaying, packed, and full of thieves at night.

Minsk is also home to the Russian brides that many westerners seek.
