Photo fact: Aerial view of Belarusian-Russian border

Livejournal user babkin-k has paid attention to the difference between the Belarusian and the Russian sides of the border.

"The border is the same everywhere,” babkin-k noted. “Everything is in order on the left and there is desolation on the right. Only names have remained of Russian villages while they exist for real in Belarus.

You can check it if you like."

"Why is there such a difference? The quality of the soil, climate, people and available technologies are the same," the lj user wonders.
