Belarus launched the parliamentary elections

BELARUS, Kurkovo. A woman casts ballot in the ballot box at a polling station during parliamentary elections in the Belarusian village Kurkovo, about 40 km north of Minsk, September 18, 2012. Almost all polling stations established solemn atmosphere. In some cases, the desire to create splendor, comes to the point of absurdity. In many places, there is a portrait of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenka. Photo: Siarhei Balai
