Belarus is one of the least understood countries of Eastern Europe, in part because it's only been an independent country for a short time. For most of the past several centuries, it was part of either the Russian Empire and later the Soviet Union, becoming an independent country for the first time in the early 1990's. It's a landlocked country, of which about 40% is covered in forests, with vast wetlands known as the Pripyat Marshes, many thousands of lakes, and large numbers of streams and rivers. In the long cold months, it offers some of the most iconic winter scenery of anywhere in Europe. Here are the best videos from this land, which was sometimes known as White Russia.

Belarus is a landlocked and generally flat country. More than anything, what distinguishes its landscape it its forests. About 40% of the land area of the country is forested. During its long winters, these forests become true winter-wonderlands, on a par with the best forests of Scandinavia. In this drone video by FFly.Belarus, you'll get a bird's eye views of the country's endless forests in the dead of winter. It was filmed near Mogilev (the country's third largest city) in its east-central region.

In this video, contributor and drone pilot Onekit gives us an aerial tour of the city of Vitebesk in Belarus. It is situated on a tributary of the Dvina River, in the northern part of this Eastern European country. The city was founded in the 10th century by a regent of the Kieven Rus, which once ruled over much of the region. The country's fourth largest city, it was once home to a large Jewish population, most of which was murdered by the German Nazi's during their bloody occupation of Belarus during the Second World War.

The Dvina River, also called the Daugava, is an important river in Eastern Europe. The waterway rises in Russia and runs a course of just over 1.0k km (620 mi.) through Belarus and Latvia before discharging into the Baltic Sea at the Gulf of Riga. Historically, the river played an important defensive role given the lack of other natural defenses on the approaches to Moscow. In this video, you'll get a bird's eye view of the river near the Belarus town of Vtibesk, compliments of contributor Onekit.

The location is within the city limits of Mogilev, the largest city in the eastern part of the country and the third largest city overall, after Minsk and Homel. Peaceful now, Mogilev was the scene of heavy fighting during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union at the outset of World War II, and in World War I it was the site of the imperial headquarters of the Russian army.
