Back to basics: Belarus minister in vyshyvanka (photo)


Uladzimir Kaltovich, Minister of Trade and Antimonopoly Regulation, is among the few Belarusian officials who often use social media.

On his Facebook, the minister not only provides information about his work, but reveals some facts of his private life.

On New Year’s Day, he wished his followers ‘all the best in life’ and posted a photo that shows him wearing a vyshyvanka.

Vyshyvanka is Belarusian traditional clothing which contains elements of ethnic embroidery. Local features are usually represented in the shirt’s ornamental pattern.
