Organizations' Web Pages about Belarus

As far as I know, only a few of the following Web sites are "official" Republic of Belarus sites, and most of those are academic institutions.

• Elected officials in Belarus (Present & Recent Past):
  Refer to the section, Belarus Government Officials.
  A couple of the Web sites noted appear to be official government of Belarus sites (one of them appears to have been developed by others, and the other one hasn't been updated since mid-1996).

  Also refer to Who's Who in Belarus (Last Update: February 8, 1996)

Web Pages About Belarus Tractors, etc.

Note: The following are only intended to be sample links, since there are many dealers, auctions, etc. for Belarus tractors throughout the world. The Belarus tractor (as motorcycles from Belarus) are very popular throughout the world, since they are considered very reliable, easy to repair, and give very good value for the price. Use any search engine and look for "Belarus tractor". And as always, a caveat. . . .
