Not many, at least. While Russia is shining it´s shield, Belorussia is stuck to dictatorship and yarns for communism. That does not make it a very attractive destination.

Although I haven't been there yet (although I could see the border from a distance) try<BR><BR>www.InYourPocket.com<BR><BR>for some information--the only other guide with Belarus information is the Lonely Planet Guide to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

Several years ago, on a escorted tour of USSR, had an overnight stop in Minsk, the capital of Belarus. Just remember it as a huge, industrial city--can't think of anything outstanding, but since the fall of the Wall and Communism, would love to return to take a closer look.

Geri! Communism has not fallen in Belorussia. And the country is governed by dictator Lukashenko. Local people "disappear" there every day, artists, journalits, writers and so on.
