The population of this country is about 9.5 million people. That's a little bit more, than in London, the capital of the United Kindomn (there are over 7 million people in London). This country's ofical major languages are either Russian or Belarussian, so people speak Russian there. That means we can understand each other. However children study English in their schools. Belarusians also have the same religion: their major religion is cristianity like in our country. The life expectancy there is 65 years for men and 76 years - for woman. It is democracy there. Now those people's president is Aleksandr Lukashenko
