A bicycle parade dedicated to 100 years since the short-lived Belarusian Peoples’ Republic (BNR) was organized by young Belarusians in New York City on March 11. More than three dozen people rode their bikes 8.5 km under white-red-white flags. They were singing Belarusians songs. See here for a photo report.

The 100th anniversary of the BNR will be marked on March 25. The authorities in Minsk have authorized several street rallies and a concert in downtown Minsk.
