Bloggers noticed similarity between modern Minsk and some cities 20 years ago.

Actually, a library in the shape of a strange geometric figure, plans to construct giant hotels in the historical center after demolition of few remaining architectural monuments, Independence Square preserving the style of the 1930s – this shows that pro-governmental architects fall behind the time.

Blogger stebun offers to compare Minsk and Shanghai of the 1990s.
