At the top administrative level, the Eastern European country of Belarus is divided into 6 voblasts and the city of Minsk. Minsk has a special status, being the capital of Belarus, the city of republican administrative level, and the capital of Minsk Province. [1] Furthermore, the oblasts are divided into districts (raions), cities, and other administrative-territorial units.

The layout of the oblasts were set out in 1960 when Belarus was a part of the Soviet Union.[2]
