Minsk (Byelorussian: Мінск; Russian: Минск) is the largest city and capital of Byelorussia, with a population of 3.64 million people as of the 2019 census. A city of marginal importance for most of its existence, it became the capital of the Principality of Minsk and much later Minsk Governorate, who's borders are quite similar to the modern day Byelorussia's. Minsk became the capital of an independent Byelorussia in 1918, and after the Russian Civil War, the capital of the Byelorussian SSR. Minsk was particularly devastated by the Great Patriotic War which saw Minsk's population decrease from 300,000 to 50,000~ in 1944. Minsk was rewarded the Hero City award in 1974.
