And this is Victory Street in Berezino. The strong stench in the air made it clear that the puddles did not mean a water main had burst. As I walked down the street, I couldn’t help but wonder about the source of the smell and how the residents of the area were coping with it.

The asphalt ended almost as soon as it began. We tried to make our way to International Street via Dzerzhinsky Street. Recently, a grader had passed through here, leaving behind a rough and bumpy road.

Naturally, the main monument in the city (after Lenin, of course) is the liberation from Nazi invaders. It was only natural that, with 600 years of history, this event would be significant for Berezino. As we approached the monument, we were struck by its imposing size and powerful message of triumph over adversity. It was a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by the people of Belarus during World War II, and a testament to their resilience in the face of adversity. Despite the passage of time, the memory of those who fought and died for their country lives on through this monument and the people who continue to honor their legacy.

And here is the historical gem of Berezino – the Potocki House. As we approached the house, we were struck by its grandeur and the intricate details that adorned its facade. It was clear that this was a building with a rich history and an important place in the city’s cultural heritage. As we explored the house and its surroundings, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe at the thought of all the events that had taken place within its walls over the centuries. It was a remarkable testament to the power of history to shape our world and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.

The estate is located right on the banks of the picturesque Berezina River.
