A unique interactive map created within the framework of the project "Maps of Belarus' formation". The web page contains a systematic list, which indicates key dates, events, and names of important state figures. It all starts from the moment of the inception of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and ends with the formation of the Union state between Belarus and the Russian Federation.
About sixty conditions of the state boundary can be traced on the map with indication of the most important events. The history penetrates through all the political formations in this territory: the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Western Region, the Belarusian People's Republic, the SSRB (The Socialist Soviet Republic of Belarus), Litbel (The Socialist Soviet Republic of Lithuania and Belorussia), the BSSR (Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic), the present-day Republic of Belarus. About 170 important dates are marked on the chronological timeline, which can be used to trace the entire history of the country over the specified period.
Its author and inspirer is designer Alexey Cherenkevich. The map can be viewed not only at the Lida Castle, but also on the Internet by clicking on the link or scanning the QR code.
