New Year’s Trees and festive illumination to be removed from Minsk today

Dismantling of the central city New Year’s tree has started in Minsk. The process will take several days. At first electricians will remove the decoration, then the artificial branches and the framework of the tree.
Dismantling of the other New Year’s trees and illumination will also start in Minsk today. Eight artificial trees decorated the capital instead of the usual six this year.

The highest of them – the New Year’s Tree at Kastrychnitskaya Square – is 35 metres high. The number of live fir-trees placed in streets and squares of the capital exceeded 1.5 thousands.
