Neo-monumentalism...

A little bit apart from the town center and the monumentalism of the Soviet era stands this new national library, built by the current president. Reportedly, it holds very few books... Belarussians we spoke with thought of it as a spaceship or extraterrestial communications device, as it blinks with multicoloured lights at night...
