The Republic of Belarus, commonly known as Belarus, is a landlocked Eastern European country. It was initially formed during the 10th century A.D. but gained its independence from Soviet Russia in 1999 – becoming one of the last countries to do so. Like some other former Soviet states, Belarus also relies heavily on the mining industry for its exports. Oil products take up the largest share of the export pie, with mineral products also forming a sizeable chunk. Belarus had 34,386 divorce cases in 2021.
