Like the "Tour of Jewish Minsk" this is also a most interesting tour. Examples of Jewish enterprises are given as well as the disturbing brief history of the Polotsk ghetto. The commentary is excellent.

Замечательная экскурсия, открывает город с неожиданной стороны, особенно та часть, где центр Европы располагался на ул. Еврейской. Было интересно идти и в безликих зданиях видеть творившуюся историю
