Thanks to scant media coverage, many outsiders struggle to say how Belarus actually ticks. From Minsk market workers to domestic violence shelters and state-assigned jobs, our Unknown Belarus series introduced viewers to the people, places, and phenomena of the real, little-seen Belarus.
Unknown Belarus' premiere episode takes a look at the country's largest agricultural bazaar, Minsk's Komarovsky market, popularly known as Komarovka, and the stories of the people who work here.
