Previously we wrote about an Italian photo journalist Massimiliano Clausi, who visited Belarus last summer to take photos of Belarusian young people. Apparently, the photos have been published already and in addition to Massimiliano’s impressions in the interview he gave to Generation.by, now you can also experience his impressions through the photos he took.

Maybe this is the best creative project of the year. Last week the link to the web-page of this project appeared in the blogs of many of my online-friends and moved to Facebook-profiles and other online platforms. Everyone has been discussing and recommending a sketch-movie by “Ilya Andreyev and the team” about Minsk – “Hush City“. The team of people who created “Hush City” found each other through blogs. Hardly there is another project of this kind that would come out of the Belarusian blog sphere. “Hush City” impresses with an original and creative way of story-telling.
This sketch film may become something like a business card for the city, as it is devoted to Minsk and its residents. The project does create a certain impression of the city and might be perceived as a little biased, but the amount of beautiful pictures with sites of Minsk cannot but impress and give a good insight into the life of the Belarusian capital. This is probably the best way to experience Minsk from the Internet. Generation.by recommends you this sketch film as a chance to take a trip to the capital of Belarus.

As it was mentioned in the very beginning the aim of this blog is to open the life in Belarus for people outside. Of course, the best way to do it is not just to read blogs but to go and see it. And this is what the hero of the following interview did. Massimiliano Clausi, a young Italian photo-journalist, went for a two-weeks trip to Belarus to see how the young people of the so-called “last dictatorship in Europe” live. Below you can read about his impressions from staying in Belarus and if the stereotypes regarding Belarus, that he built from the news and friends, turned out to be true. The interview was made during the last days of Massimiliano in Belarus by Vola Vitushka.
