and following the collapse of the Soviet Union, declared independence as the
Republic of Belarus on 25 August 1991.
Officially, the country is known as the Republic of Belarus
(Belarusian: Рэспубліка Беларусь, Łacinka: Respublika Biełaruś; Russian:
Республика Беларусь, Respublika Belarus); the short name is Belarus.
