Lyasny (Belarusian: Лясны, romanized: Liasny; Russian: Лесной, romanized: Lesnoy) is an agrotown in Minsk District, Minsk Region, Belarus.[2] It serves as the administrative center of Barawlyany selsoviet.[3][4] It is located north of the capital Minsk, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from its center and about six kilometres (3.7 mi) from the Minsk Ring Road (the approximate boundary of Minsk).[4] In 1999, it had a population of 8,350.[4] As of 2023, it has a population of 21,638.[1]
History[edit]
It received the status of agrotown in 2010 according to the "State program for the revival and development of rural areas, for years 2005–2010".[5]
In 2021, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko suggested to merge Lyasny and the neighboring village of Barawlyany, together with two other adjacent settlements, Vopytny settlement and Lyeskawka village, into a city with a population of about 70,000, but soon the idea was abandoned.[6]
