Line 4:
Line 4: − ==Name==+ − Belarus is often incorrectly called "Belorussia" or "Byelorussia", and some claim that this means "White Russia". This is incorrect which one can see by looking at the Russian words for the countries of Belarus and Russia: ''Белоруссия'' and ''Россия'' (Belorussija and Rossija), respectively.
