| Coat of arms of the city of Mogilev |
Оn the eve of World War II, the city almost became the capital of Belarus due to the dangerous proximity of Minsk to the western border.
During the First World War, here was the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and the residence of Emperor Nicholas II.
The House of Soviets erected in a short time reminds of those times - an almost exact copy of the Minsk Government House.
One of the most striking pages of the history of Mogilev was the heroic defense at the beginning of World War II, when the city lasted 23 days, 16 of them in the complete encirclement.
Mogilev Guests of the city, which arose more than seven centuries ago on the banks of the Dnieper, are met by a sculpture of a station ranger against the background of an old station (1902).
The pedestrian street Leninskaya, known since the 16th century under the names Vetryanaya, Bolshaya Sadovaya, and Engineering, also preserves the historical atmosphere.
