  Belarusians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belarusians or Belarusans (Belarusian: беларусы, biełarusy, previously also spelt Belarussians, Byelorussians and Belorussians) are an ethnic group of East Slavs who are the majority population of Belarus, also being minorities in neighboring Poland (especially former Bialystok province), Russia, Lithuania and Ukraine.
The native language is Belarusian, however the majority of Belarusians in Belarus speaks Russian.
After World War I Belarusians had their own state, with varying degrees of independence (Belarus National Republic under German occupation, and as the Byelorussian SSR since 1919, included into the USSR in 1922).

These "famous Belarusians" have some sort of strong connection to Belarus and its historical geographical area--even if that "connection" is only through the accident of the location of their birth.
In my opinion, one must note that these places are and always have been in the Belarusian ethnographic region (see map), yet such mention on this A Belarus Miscellany Web site has resulted in outrage on the part of at least several (myopic) Polish and especially Russian/Soviet nationalists.
Most of the famous individuals listed here, of course, do have a very strong connection to Belarusian culture and its history, and such people are celebrated on this Web site (for their specific contributions to Belarusian culture and for their contributions to humanity in general).

 Belarus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In English, Belarus and Belarusian are the common terms: they refer to the historical connection with the people known as Rus' that predated Russians, Ukrainians or Belarusians.
One such theory is based upon the accepted fact that the Belarusian ethnos is formed primarily by the historical interactions amongst Slavic and Baltic ethnicities.
The natural resources of Belarus are forests, peat deposits, small quantities of oil and natural gas, granite, dolomitic limestone, marl, chalk, sand, gravel, and clay.
