'''Byelorussia''', officially the '''Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic''', is a [[Republics of the Soviet Union (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Union Republic]] of the [[Soviet Union (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Soviet Union]]. It is one of the three main {{wp|East Slavs|East Slavic}} republics along with [[Russian SFSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Russia]] and [[Ukrainian SSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Ukraine]]. Byelorussia is the third largest East Slavic majority Republic with an area of 207,600 kilometres and a population of 12,801,625 people- the majority of whom are Byelorussian. Other significant minorities include Russians and Ukrainians.
'''Byelorussia'''{{efn|{{lang-be|Беларусь|B(i)elarus}}, {{lang-ru|Белоруссия|Byelorussiya}}<br>In English, also referred to as Belorussia, Belarus, and literally White Rus(sia)/Ruthenia}}, officially the '''Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic''', is a [[Republics of the Soviet Union (TheodoresTomfooleries)|constituent republic]] of the [[Soviet Union (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Soviet Union]] in {{wp|Eastern Europe}}.

Byelorussia was established as a Soviet Republic in 1920 during the {{wp|Russian Civil War}}. It was a founding member of the Soviet Union alongside Russia, Ukraine, and the {{wp|Transcaucasian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Transcaucasian SFSR}}. Its territory was expanded eastwards due to territorial concessions by Russia in 1924 and 1929. The {{wp|Territories of Poland annexed by the Soviet Union|territories from Poland annexed in 1939}} make up the backbone of the modern Byelorussian border. Byelorussia was one of the many Soviet Republics invaded by {{wp|Nazi Germany}} in the {{wp|Great Patriotic War}}. Byelorussia was the hardest hit by the Nazi invasion, seeing {{wp|World War II Casualties of the Soviet Union#Estimated losses for each Soviet Republic|25.3%}} of its population die. Byelorussia was a founding member of the {{wp|United Nations}} alongside Ukraine due to a compromise between the Soviet Union and the {{wp|United States}}. The founding of industrial objects such as {{wp|BelAZ}}, {{wp|Minsk Automobile Plant|MAZ}}, and {{wp|Minsk Tractor Works|MTZ}} resulted in a significant immigration of Russians into Byelorussia, resulting in Byelorussian de-facto being pushed out as the common and administrative language in favor of Russian. Russians in total make up 18.2% of the Byelorussian population as of 2022.
Byelorussia formed part of the {{wp|East Slavic}} state of {{wp|Kievan Rus'}} in the {{wp|Middle Ages}}, from which it gets its name of "White Rus'".

Byelorussia[b], officially the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, is a constituent republic of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. It borders Lithuania to the west, Latvia to the northwest, Russia to the east and Ukraine to the south. With a population of 12.78 million in 2022 and an area of 207,600 km2, it is the 6th largest republic of the Soviet Union by area and population. The capital and largest city is Minsk. Other cities of significance include Gomel, Mogilev, Vitebsk and Grodno.

Byelorussia formed part of the East Slavic state of Kievan Rus' in the Middle Ages, from which it gets its name of "White Rus'". Much of Byelorussia fell under the control of Lithuania and later Poland-Lithuania in the 13th century, before this territory was conquered by the Russian Empire in the 18th century. Despite Russification attempts, Byelorussian culture and identity experienced a revival that culminated in Byelorussia's declaration of independence from Russia in 1918. Following the Russian Civil War and Polish-Soviet War, Byelorussia fell under the control of Poland in Western Byelorussia and under a soviet republic in the Soviet Union, which Byelorussia was a founding member of. The boundaries of modern day Byelorussia were set after World War II with Soviet annexations of Polish territory. After World War II, Byelorussia became a founding member of the United Nations alongside Ukraine and the Soviet Union.

Notes

  1. ↑ In organizations like the United Nations, where Byelorussia is a founding member, Byelorussia exists as a quasi-state ultimately represented by the Soviet Union.
  2. ↑ Belarusian: Беларусь, romanized: B(i)elarus, Russian: Белоруссия, romanized: Byelorussiya
    In English, also referred to as Belorussia, Belarus, and literally White Rus(sia)/Ruthenia
