The Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic is located at the western tip of the Soviet Union. The country was engulfed in war many times, and during World War II it was the main battlefield against fascism, and after the war it made a great contribution to the economic development of the Soviet Union. Much of the soviet political traditions, social institutions and institutions remain today.
The following is a review of the development of Belarus during the Soviet period and the daily life of the people from the old historical photos.

Belarus was the main industrial sector of the Soviet era in the automotive industry, metallurgical industry and energy industry. The miracle of the engineers was the large dump truck produced by the Minsk Automobile Factory (MAZ) and later the Belarusian Automobile Factory (BelAZ).
These dump trucks are used for sand and mineral transport, hydropower stations and reservoir construction, among other things. Until now this dump truck is still in production and exported to Russia.

Belarus is known as the "workshop of the Soviet Union", and the Soviet Union is their huge market, which also makes their economic strength among the best in many Soviet countries, so the collapse of the Soviet Union has caused Belarus a huge loss.
