There is a stereotype that the Republic of Belarus is a country where pluralism does not exist in all spheres of life. However, this statement is not precisely correct, as contemporary Belarus demonstrates political neutrality and pluralism in the foreign policy and multiculturalism inside the country. Multiculturalism is viewed in the paper as mutual tolerance among the population and respect to the Otherness in cultural life. Two major spheres of pluralistic phenomenon are discussed: ethnic composition of Belarus and its religious confessions. Although a major part of the believers belongs to two Christian confessions, Orthodox and Catholic, many other confessions and new religious movements also exist. Religious pluralism is a practical reality in Belarus which has the reputation of the most religiously tolerant post-Soviet country. Contemporary laws provide the legal basis for tolerant relations in the country, and there is a historical tradition of religious tolerance in Belarus.

Taking the Republic of Belarus and its capital city, Minsk, as a case study of multiculturalism in the eastern EU borderland, the article presents the historical roots of the multicultural quality of Belarusian society (the complexity of ethnic composition of the population, its religious plurality, and bilingualism). The Soviet period (the Marxist ideology of proletarian internationalism) supported Belarusian multiculturalism on the normative level. In the post-Soviet times the Republic of Belarus has kept this historical heritage (within the limits imposed by the political regime). Currently, neighboring the EU on the East, Belarus can (under certain conditions) further develop its multicultural features and become a peaceful multicultural 'bridge' between the East and the West.

The idea of the paper is to show the historical changes that took place in the social and ethnic structure of Minsk during the past two centuries and discuss how these changes have influenced the social capital of the city dwellers. In the 19th century Minsk radically changed its structure: it underwent a civilization shift. After partitions of Poland, Minsk was forcefully turned from the Central European political and cultural environment into a Russian provincial city. Polish population decreased, while Russian military and bureaucracy grew. Still, Jewish population dominated while Belarussian ethnic group was very small among the city dwellers. By the end of the 19th century Minsk experienced industrial development, therefore the working class increased. Social capital of the population grew steadily. Then, through the whole 20th century, Minsk experienced even more radi- cal transformation: there were two large social shifts: from capitalism to socialism, and back to capitalism. After WWII, Jewish population of the city shrank, while Belarusian population increased. Contemporary Minsk, still being a typical city of the Central-Eastern European borderland, can be considered as one of many other cities of this region. Social capital of its dwellers has typical features of the borderland region.
