Belarus Introduction - 2003 http://www.theodora.com/wfb2003/belarus/belarus_introduction.html SOURCE: 2003 CIA WORLD FACTBOOK Background: After seven decades as a constituent republic of the USSR, Belarus attained its independence in 1991. It has retained closer political and economic ties to Russia than any of the other former Soviet republics. Belarus and Russia signed a treaty on a two-state union on 8 December 1999 envisioning greater political and economic integration. Although Belarus agreed to a framework to carry out the accord, serious implementation has yet to take place.
