Ah, yes, only two blocks from my sisters flat on Karl Marx St, or properly 'Vulica Karla Marksa'. Walked by the KGB HQ many times, was too scared to get too close to it, being a gov't employee and what not. Did enjoy the mall in front of the Church of St. Helen and Simon. Found a bunch of good deals on tourist goods right next to the Palace of the Republic. Don't imagine they were out much in the winter.

Keep it up, haven't seen a Minsk TR in a long time,
