Minsk's Victory Day Preparations: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity Minsk, Belarus, May 13, 2025 — As Victory Day approaches, the Belarusian capital is adorned with festive decorations. This year's preparations, however, present a unique contrast. While the city is decked out with flags, banners, and posters celebrating the occasion, many locations still retain Easter decorations.

The video also captures the everyday life of Minsk continuing alongside the festive preparations, creating a balanced and nuanced image of the city's mood. The author concludes by noting that the city is creating a festive atmosphere, visible in the decorations and the general mood of the people.
