Having twice been to Belraus in the past this brought back some memories for me. i was further south then Minsk and these problems are so widespread. Despite how poor Belorussians are there is actually a lot of money available for the Internats (local for orphanage)through charity but beurocratic red tape prevents it from being spent. in bulit into the psyche of the people is that any disability makes a person subhuman and we had to writr "internat" on the clothes that we brought for the children so the locals would not steal them. Sad place.
