Minsk, Belarus : 2nd-3rd October, 1985
The small tramway in the capital city of Belarus is operated by Riga-built RVR-6 trams which first appeared in 1966 and by 1981 were the only tram type used. In common with many Soviet cities, an underground railway was in construction, with the first phase opened for service at the end of June, 1984.
