Cheapest flights to Minsk

Historically, Minsk is an ancient Russian town founded in 1067. In the Annals of Past Years Minsk (or ancient Menesk and later Mensk called so up to the beginning of the 20th century) was mentioned in the entry of 1067 as a fortress in the Polotsk Principality situated on the banks of the Svisloch and the Nemiga rivers and surrounded by swamps and woods.

There are several opinions as to the city's name. Some historians refer to an old legend about Menesk (or Minch), a man of an extraordinary phisical strength who used to protect the town from enemies. Other believe that the name has something to do with the Menka river (some 16 km to the West of the city's present location). Still others are sure that the town's name was derived from the Slavonic word "mena" (barter, exchange) because in the ancient times there used to be a barter market where the merchants from many countries of Europe and Asia struck deals and exchanged their goods.

Despite of innumerable internecine battles, 8 great wars and 5 devastating fires which Minsk has survived throughout its histiry, the city has ever arisen from its ashes like the legendary bird Phoenix for a better life and a brighter future.
