WORLD POLiTiCS Murmansk, Russia<br />
With more than 300,000 inhabitants, Murmansk<br />
is the largest city north of the Arctic Circle, but<br />
is drawn much larger than its actual size on the<br />
world’s political map. Its global importan<strong>ce</strong> comes<br />
from its militarily significant location and its permanently<br />
i<strong>ce</strong>-free port on the shores of the Polar<br />
Sea. Honoured for its distinction during World<br />
War II, Murmansk was<br />
named a “Hero City”<br />
by the So<strong>vi</strong>et Union.<br />
The area still has<br />
important naval bases<br />
for russia’s nuclearpowered<br />
ships and<br />
submarines.<br />

CHAnGE Gdansk, Poland<br />
Gdansk, Poland, hit the world’s headlines during the Cold<br />
War when the trade union movement born in the shipyards<br />
spurred the release of Eastern Europe from the yoke of<br />
the USSr. The history of Gdansk, however, reaches much<br />
farther back, for the Baltic city has been a significant <strong>ce</strong>ntre<br />
of commer<strong>ce</strong> for <strong>ce</strong>nturies.<br />
Poland is deeply Catholic and<br />
the best-known sightseeing attraction<br />
in Gdansk is St Mary’s<br />
Church, the largest brick church<br />
in the world. It can accommodate<br />
25,000 worshippers.<br />

Belarus – which means “White russia” – circulates<br />
its own rubles. The main building of the<br />
republic’s National Museum of Art is pictured<br />
on its one-thousand ruble note. In addition to<br />
White russian art, the museum also displays<br />
Slutsk belts, which have risen to the status of<br />
national mementoes. These belts have been<br />
important men’s wear in the culture of White<br />
russia, symbolising the wearer’s prosperity<br />
and power. Men exclusively<br />
wore these<br />
silk belts, and only<br />
men were allowed<br />
to assist in putting<br />
them on.<br />
