I'm proud of living in Byelorussia which has always been famous for its people ── industrious, kind, hospitable and friendly.
Byelorussia has given the world many famous people in all fields of life. But I think the most outstanding figure of Byelorussia is Frantsisk Skorina.

He influenced the development of many branches of Byelorussian culture.

He got his primary education in Polotsk, and then learned phylosophy at the Krakow University. In 1517 Scorina went to Prague where he started translating and printing the Bible.
